Country star Parker McCollum and his wife, Hallie Ray Light, have announced that they are expecting their first baby. They shared the news on Instagram with a photo taken during their recent vacation to St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands, showing them sharing a kiss in front of a sunset. Hallie Ray is seen holding her growing baby bump, and she captioned the photo by expressing their love for their little blessing. Parker jokingly commented on the post, expressing his excitement and love for his wife. The announcement comes after Parker raised suspicions about a possible baby on the way when he canceled a show that was scheduled six months in advance, citing "exciting news" that he would announce in the near future.

Fans had speculated about a possible pregnancy, and it turns out their guesses were correct. Parker and Hallie Ray were introduced to each other through a friend, and although she initially had doubts about him, they eventually started dating after Parker wrote a song about her. They had a long-distance relationship while Hallie Ray pursued her nursing career, but they eventually got back together and got married in 2022. Parker's current Burn It Down Tour is named after his radio single of the same name, and he teased that it will be an epic show. His album, Never Enough, was released in 2023 and is a follow-up to his breakout Gold Chain Cowboy.
