“THANK YOU JESUS for another healthy baby boy! we are so in love with our little fam! mom & dad x 2 here we gooooooo,” they wrote.

Congratulatory messages poured in from friends and fans.

The exciting arrival comes just days after McCollum announced that he would be postponing his remaining weekend shows to ensure he was by his wife’s side for the birth. He delivered his show at Red Rocks on Wednesday, July 29, and then headed straight home.

In the post, the Texas native explained that he couldn’t be more excited to become a dad for the second time and that being there for his wife and new baby was his top priority, although he was sorry to have to move the shows for all the fans excited to attend.

“Hey everyone, Wanted to share some good news with you all,’ his message began. “My beautiful wife is blessing our family with our second baby and it’s looking like he’ll be here tomorrow! I couldn’t be more excited to become a dad for the second time.”

“Unfortunately, that means I’ve got to reschedule the rest of this weekend’s shows. Once I step off the stage at Red Rocks, I’m headed straight home to be with the family. Hate having to make that call, but family comes first,” he added.

McCollum will now take the stage in Omaha and Kansas City on September 10 and September 12, respectively. Fans should hold onto their tickets, as all previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new dates. 

“Thanks for understanding and for all the love. Can’t wait to see y’all soon,” he said. 

The couple first announced they were expanding their family over the holidays, sharing the exciting news with fans through a sweet Christmas Day reveal. They posted a carousel of family photos from the holiday morning, including a snapshot in front of their Christmas tree. In the photos, Hallie and their son, Major, sported matching pajamas as she proudly showed off her growing baby bump.

The couple also revealed they were expecting another boy in the caption that read, “McCollum party of 4 next Christmas!!!! another BOY joining us summer 2026!!! Merry Christmas, everyone! Thank you, Jesus! HBD!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

Parker McCollum married Hallie Ray Light on March 28, 2022. The couple tied the knot at Boxwood Manor in Tomball, Texas. Their family grew on August 8, 2024 when they welcomed their first child, a son named Major Yancey Tyler McCollum.
