Parker and Hallie Ray, who tied the knot in March 2022, shared the news alongside a series of photos of their family of four taken at the hospital.
In one shot, the mom and dad of two could be seen smiling at the camera as they sat side by side on a hospital bed. Their newborn could be seen in Hallie Ray’s arms as their 1-year-old son, Major Yancey Tyler McCollum, whom they welcomed in August 2024, sat in front of them.
Another photo showed the boys switching positions with the “Pretty Heart” singer holding the sleeping newborn in his arms while Hallie Ray held Major on her lap. The curious toddler could be seen looking over at his younger brother in another picture.
Hallie Ray could also be seen sharing a sweet kiss with her eldest son while holding her newborn in her arms. In one photo, Major crawled up to his younger brother who was resting on a blanket. He could even be seen getting in close to look at his new brother.

“Unfortunately, that means I’ve got to reschedule the rest of this weekend’s shows,” he said of his shows scheduled in Kansas City and Omaha. “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.”
