Country music legend Alan Jackson is celebrating again as he welcomes another grandchild! His daughter, Mattie Jackson, announced the arrival of her second child, a baby girl named Charlotte “Charlie” Ann Smith.
Sharing the joyful news on Instagram Tuesday, Mattie revealed that little Charlie arrived just in time for Valentine’s Day weekend, making February 13, 2026, a very special day for the family. She weighed 6 lbs, 8 oz and measured 20 inches long.
“Our little Valentine decided to make her entrance a few days early, and we couldn’t be more in love with her! You are the greatest tiny pink blessing, angel girl! Momma, Dada, and even big brother Ryman already love you so,” Mattie wrote in her post.
Mattie shared adorable newborn photos as well as a family photo.

Mattie is the oldest daughter of Alan Jackson and is joined by her sisters, Alexandra and Dani, both of whom are also expecting.
Over the holidays, the “Chattahoochee” singer shared a heartwarming Christmas photo featuring all three daughters proudly showing off their baby bumps.
“Merry Christmas from our growing family! — Alan & Denise,” he wrote alongside the sweet snapshot.
The Georgia native is also a grandfather to Jackson Alvie Bradshow, who is the son of Alexandra.
With two more grandchildren arriving in the coming weeks/months, it’s surely an exciting time for the Jackson family.
This summer, Alan Jackson will take the stage for a bittersweet farewell, closing out his legendary career with a highly anticipated finale concert at Nissan Stadium. The demand was overwhelming: all 55,000 tickets sold out almost instantly, proving just how much his music has meant to generations of fans.
“I’m proud and overwhelmed by the response from my fans. I’m just sorry there weren’t enough seats for everybody who wanted one,” the Country Music Hall of Famer shared in a statement. “I appreciate all the people that have come to my shows and supported me over the years.”
Joining Jackson for the special evening is an all-star lineup, including Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Luke Combs, Riley Green, Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert, Jon Pardi, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, and Lee Ann Womack, with additional artists to be announced at a later date.
