On Parker McCollum and Hallie Ray Light rang in Christmas 2026 with especially meaningful news: their family is growing again.
The couple announced they’re expecting their second child with a festive joint post shared on Christmas Day. The carousel of photos captured the family gathered around the Christmas tree, surrounded by presents, with Hallie and their son Major dressed in matching pajamas. In several shots, Hallie gently rested her hand on her baby bump.
Her caption revealed another exciting detail — baby number two is also a boy.
“McCollum party of 4 next Christmas!!!! another BOY joining us summer 2026!!! Merry Christmas, everyone! Thank you, Jesus! HBD!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
After the announcement, Hallie opened up to fans via Instagram Stories, answering questions about the pregnancy. She shared that she found out she was expecting on the night of her sister’s baby shower and admitted this pregnancy has been physically challenging.
“Currently struggling but fighting through! Lots of 🤮 I feel the EXACT same way I did when I was pregnant with Major, but way more tired — probably because I have a toddler this time around 😅.”
She also confirmed that the couple’s sons will be very close in age. Their first child, Major Yancey Tyler McCollum, was born on August 8, 2024, meaning the family will briefly have two children under the age of two.
“We will have two under 2 for only a couple weeks… then 2 years!” Hallie explained.
While acknowledging the nerves that come with welcoming a second child, Hallie shared her excitement about watching Major become a big brother.
“Beyond excited to give Major a brother! Although it may be a transition for him, it will be the best thing that’s ever happened to him. Thinking about them running around together makes me 🥹.”
Parker also chimed in on the post, writing, “Mom & Dad forever! I love you Hallie Ray and I love our Major Man!”
The pregnancy announcement capped off a strong close to the year for McCollum, who also headlined a sold-out New Year’s Eve show at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas. Looking ahead, he says he’s “ready to kick a** in 2026.”
McCollum is set to continue his headlining tour through late September and has teased that new music is coming “very, very soon.” Fans can find a full list of upcoming tour dates on his official website.
