Country singer and songwriter Parker McCollum is going to be a dad! The “Pretty Heart” singer and his wife Hallie Ray Light have announced they are expecting their first baby together. “We love you so much already, Baby M!”
To announce the news, the couple shared images from their recent trip to St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands. In the picture, the couple stood in front of a sunset background overlooking the water with Parker holding his wife’s face to kiss her and the Shop KiHK co-founder cradling her baby bump. On the post, which was posted to both Parker’s and Hallie’s Instagram accounts, the “Handle On You” singer joked in the comments, “Wow! Awesome news! So happy to hear about this! I love you babe! Congrats!”
The couple did not reveal when their little one is expected to arrive, nor did they share the sex of their first baby. However, a recent concert cancellation may shed light on when the baby will be born. At the beginning of the year, Parker took to Instagram to share that he was cancelling a show in College Station, TX on August 30th, 2024 “due to unforeseen circumstances.” He also shared in the announcement, “We have some exciting news that we’ll be announcing in the near future so be on the lookout!” The post initially raised suspicion that Hallie might be pregnant. However, it may not mean this is when the little one is going to be born, as Parker still has a show scheduled in Texas on August 31st.
Parker first met Hallie through a friend and the singer was immediately smitten. “A buddy of mine had been telling me about her and I just really liked her name Hallie Ray Light. I started trying to put that name in a song before I’d even met her.” The two began to date and ended up becoming engaged in July 2021. The couple tied the knot on March 28, 2022 at Boxwood Manor in Tomball, Texas.
Congratulations to Parker and Hallie on the news of their first baby together!
