Parker McCollum and his wife, Hallie Ray Light, stepped out in style for their first red carpet together since sharing the news that they are expecting their first child.
The parents-to-be certainly dressed to impress as they arrived to the 2024 CMT Music Awards in stand-out ensembles. Hallie donned a black mini dress with mesh sleeves and a detailed pattern featuring rhinestones that shined under the bright lights, while the country star honored his Texas roots with a black cowboy hat, white blazer and matching button down and his blue jeans.
Pregnancy Announcement
The couple unveiled the exciting news regarding their growing family on Wednesday (Feb. 7) through a joint post via Instagram. The post included a scenic snapshot of the couple that was taken on their recent tropical getaway to St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands. They were captured sharing a kiss in front of the warm sunset while Hallie Ray was seen holding her stomach to signal her growing baby bump.
“God’s little blessing. We Iove you so much already, Baby M,” she wrote, while McCollum hilariously commented, “Wow! Awesome news! So happy to hear about this! I love you babe! Congrats!”
