“THANK YOU JESUS for another healthy baby boy! we are so in love with our little fam! mom & dad x 2 here we gooooooo,” they wrote.

Congratulatory messages poured in from friends and fans.

In the post, the Texas native explained that he couldn’t be more excited to become a dad for the second time and that being there for his wife and new baby was his top priority, although he was sorry to have to move the shows for all the fans excited to attend.

“Hey everyone, Wanted to share some good news with you all,’ his message began. “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.”

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

McCollum will now take the stage in Omaha and Kansas City on September 10 and September 12, respectively. Fans should hold onto their tickets, as all previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new dates. 

“Thanks for understanding and for all the love. Can’t wait to see y’all soon,” he said. 

The couple first announced they were expanding their family over the holidays, sharing the exciting news with fans through a sweet Christmas Day reveal. They posted a carousel of family photos from the holiday morning, including a snapshot in front of their Christmas tree. In the photos, Hallie and their son, Major, sported matching pajamas as she proudly showed off her growing baby bump.

The couple also revealed they were expecting another boy in the caption that read, “McCollum party of 4 next Christmas!!!! another BOY joining us summer 2026!!! Merry Christmas, everyone! Thank you, Jesus! HBD!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

Sean McVay Believes Aaron Donald Is Trending Toward Return To Rams

Aaron Donald’s potential return to the Los Angeles Rams will not be decided while they are in training camp, but coach Sean McVay said the defensive lineman’s status is “going in the right direction.” “If there’s an arrow, it’s trending upwards,” McVay said Friday following the Rams’ first practice in full pads. The Rams are currently working out at Loyola Marymount University through Aug. 6, but McVay indicated any decision on Donald possibly ending his retirement would not come until they return to their facility in the San Fernando Valley. “That’ll be something that, I think, once we get back to Woodland Hills, we’ll have a better idea of what that timeline looks like. There won’t be any decision and anything in terms of Aaron’s situation while we’re here. That’s kind of already been set out when we’ve talked for the past couple weeks,” McVay said. Our Eric D. Williams reported in late July that Donald was leaning toward returning after multiple months of speculation. However, Williams added that Donald’s decision wasn’t imminent, and that the Rams didn’t place a time frame for him to determine whether he wants to return. A three-time AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year and eight-time All-Pro, Donald retired in March 2024 as the Rams’ career leader in sacks with 111 in 154 games. One of the most disruptive linemen in league history, he helped Los Angeles win a title following the 2021 season. Donald made game-ending defensive plays in both the NFC Championship Game and the Super Bowl. However, the Rams’ trade for defensive end Myles Garrett has seemingly tempted Donald to at least consider a return. The 35-year-old Donald was photographed working out at the team’s complex, and McVay has repeatedly expressed the organization’s interest in welcoming him back. “Heck of a player, Hall of Fame player, one of the best to ever do it at his position,” said tight end Tyler Higbee, who was Donald’s teammate for eight seasons. “So, you know, we’ll see. I hope he does [return], but we’ll see. We’ll see.” Garrett, on the other hand, passed on making a pitch to Donald when he spoke with reporters earlier in the week, but expressed a willingness to play with him. “If he’s here, I’m going to be excited to be his teammate, his partner in crime,” Garrett said on Wednesday. “I think we’re going to do great things. But it’s a difficult thing, coming back. “I think there’s a lot we can learn from each other. I’d love to pick his brain on the kind of things he does to attack his matchups, and I think the same could be said vice versa.” The Associated Press contributed to this report.​Latest Sports News from FOX Sports
