Parker McCollum and his wife, Hallie Ray Light McCollum, are making a big Christmas Day announcement.
On Thursday, Dec. 25, the country star, 33, and his wife shared a joint post to Instagram, announcing that Hallie is pregnant with their second child, a boy.
“McCollum party of 4 next Christmas!!!!” she captioned the post, alongside shots of herself, McCollum and their 16-month-old son Major smiling and embracing in front of their Christmas tree.

In a joking comment, McCollum chimed in underneath the post to write: “Congratulations!!!”
In a follow-up post shared to Light’s account, the couple could be seen sharing a kiss while McCollum placed Major on his shoulders (and a hand on his wife’s stomach). They posed for their photos in front of the Christmas tree.

“mom & dad x2 🥹🥹🥹🥹,” she captioned the video. “can’t believe our baby is going to be a big brother.”
In another comment, Light joked that Major was slightly distracted as they had their photoshoot, as he kept “asking for ‘wawa’ in the middle of our photoshoot 😂.”
The couple, who tied the knot on March 28, 2022, welcomed their first child, son Major Yancey Tyler McCollum, in August 2024.
“Major is healthy! Mama is healthy! Dad is the best dad to ever exist — & God is so good,” Light wrote on Instagram days after giving birth.
The “Burn It Down” musician has since been candid about loving life as a dad.

“She’s the greatest mom in the world,” the proud dad told PEOPLE of his wife. “We just had our first kid, Major, three and a half months ago, and he and I are learning at the same pace. But she already knows everything, so thank god for her.”
As he geared up for his first holiday season as a dad, McCollum said that Major is about to be showered with presents from Santa.
“He ain’t even gonna know it’s Christmas,” the country star joked. “I begged my mother-in-law not to get him any gifts — he’s already got so much stuff. I think she’s cleaned out Amazon for everything they have for newborns.”
“But it’s good,” he added.
