One month prior, the couple celebrated John Shepherd’s first birthday with Mary Kate writing: ‘The most beautiful, previous gift God has ever given us. It’s been so fun watching you grow this year into a smiley, curious, happy, snuggly little boy!’ 

The couple married on June 27, 2015 after they got engaged in October 2014. 

The baby news comes almost one year after Daniel King Jr., 38, was booked on a charge of aggravated assault by drive-by shooting after two homes were struck by gunfire on the West Monroe property belonging to John Luke’s father, Willie.

John Luke, Mary Kate and their son received protective orders against the man soon after the incident.

King has since been ordered to stay at least 1000 feet away from John Luke, Mary Kate Robertson and John Shepherd, who was eight months old at the time, The News-Star reported.

The order was set to run through April 2022.

King was accused of pointing a handgun from the window of a Ford F-250 and firing shots toward the homes, the newspaper reported, citing an arrest warrant from the Ouachita Parish Sheriff´s Office.

Nobody was hurt but one bullet went through the bedroom window of the home where John Luke lives with his family, authorities said.
