Parker McCollum and his wife Hallie Ray McCollum are about to become parents for the second time.

Parker And Hallie Announced They Were Expecting On Christmas

On Christmas morning, the McCollums celebrated the special holiday by announcing they were expecting their second child together.

“McCollum party of 4 next Christmas!!!! another BOY joining us summer 2026!!! Merry Christmas, everyone! Thank you, Jesus! HBD!!” Hallie wrote alongside a series of photos of herself, Parker, and their son Major Yancey Tyler McCollum.

She has shared several updates throughout her pregnancy, but never revealed when his actual due date was.

On July 18, she did reveal that the end of her pregnancy was coming when she posted a series of photos of her at the pool, writing, “Last bump post??? we are patiently waiting on you baby boy!!!!”

Hallie Went Into Labor Earlier Than Expected

While the couple has been patiently waiting for their baby boy’s arrival, it seems to have come a bit earlier than they planned, because Parker postponed his weekend shows due to Hallie being in labor.

“Hey everyone,” his statement read. “Wanted to share some good. news with you all. 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.”

And now the disappointing news for his fans…

“Unfortunately, that means I’ve got to reschedule the rest of this weekend’s shows,” he revealed.

His show in Omaha, Nebraska, that was originally scheduled for Saturday, August 1, will now take place on September 10th, and his Kansas City show (or Riverside, Missouri, rather) meant for Friday, July 31, is now scheduled for September 12th.

Parker revealed that tickets will be honored at the new date.

Luckily, his fans are so understanding and know that family comes first, but, due to the rescheduled dates, opener Gary Allen will not be able to perform at the new shows. Allen explained that if fans are not able to make it to the new dates, they can get a refund from their point of purchase.

Earlier on Wednesday (July 29) Hallie shared a photo of herself being monitored and wrote, “Checking on baby boy!”

So we can only imagine that the labor came on quick or the doctors advised her to be admitted.

Additionally, Parker had scheduled two weeks off after August 8th, and then another almost two weeks after that, which is why we believe that labor came earlier than expected!

Praying for Hallie to have a healthy baby boy after a healthy labor!
