Country music legend Alan Jackson is celebrating again as he welcomes another grandchild! His daughter, Mattie Jackson, announced the arrival of her second child, a baby girl named Charlotte “Charlie” Ann Smith.
Sharing the joyful news on Instagram Tuesday, Mattie revealed that little Charlie arrived just in time for Valentine’s Day weekend, making February 13, 2026, a very special day for the family. She weighed 6 lbs, 8 oz and measured 20 inches long.
“Our little Valentine decided to make her entrance a few days early, and we couldn’t be more in love with her! You are the greatest tiny pink blessing, angel girl! Momma, Dada, and even big brother Ryman already love you so,” Mattie wrote in her post.
Mattie shared adorable newborn photos as well as a family photo.

Mattie is the oldest daughter of Alan Jackson and is joined by her sisters, Alexandra and Dani, both of whom are also expecting.
Over the holidays, the “Chattahoochee” singer shared a heartwarming Christmas photo featuring all three daughters proudly showing off their baby bumps.
“Merry Christmas from our growing family! — Alan & Denise,” he wrote alongside the sweet snapshot.
The Georgia native is also a grandfather to Jackson Alvie Bradshow, who is the son of Alexandra.
With two more grandchildren arriving in the coming weeks/months, it’s surely an exciting time for the Jackson family.
This summer, Alan Jackson will take the stage for a bittersweet farewell, closing out his legendary career with a highly anticipated finale concert at Nissan Stadium. The demand was overwhelming: all 55,000 tickets sold out almost instantly, proving just how much his music has meant to generations of fans.
“I’m proud and overwhelmed by the response from my fans. I’m just sorry there weren’t enough seats for everybody who wanted one,” the Country Music Hall of Famer shared in a statement. “I appreciate all the people that have come to my shows and supported me over the years.”
Joining Jackson for the special evening is an all-star lineup, including Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Luke Combs, Riley Green, Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert, Jon Pardi, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, and Lee Ann Womack, with additional artists to be announced at a later date.

Jason Aldean has just accomplished another major career feat. The country superstar has scored his 31st No. 1 hit on country radio with his emotionally charged single, “How Far Does A Goodbye Go,” topping both the Billboard and Country Aircheck/Mediabase charts.
The Georgia native’s latest No. 1 places him alongside country music icons like George Strait, Alan Jackson, and Luke Bryan, tying for having the fourth-most chart-toppers on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart since it began in 1990.
With this news dropping less than a year since securing his 30th No. 1 hit with “Whiskey Drink,” Aldean revealed that he is feeling all the emotions of disbelief and gratitude towards everyone who helped move this song up the charts.
He shared, “Man, I thought 30 was a milestone…now we’re sitting at 31 number one songs. That’s pretty wild. Thank you to country radio, my team, our streaming partners, the songwriters and every one of y’all who’ve listened and turned these songs into something bigger than we ever imagined.”
Jason Aldean has spent the past two decades building a career that includes 13 Top 10 country albums, 31 No. 1 hits on country radio, and a SoundExchange Hall of Fame Award, recognizing him as one of the most-streamed artists of all time. With more new music on the way and hits continuing to pour out, Aldean continues to prove he is a powerhouse in the country music scene.
“How Far Does A Goodbye Go” served as the first preview of Aldean’s new album Songs About Us, dropping April 24. Written by John Morgan, John Edwards, Kurt Allison, Tully Kennedy, the story offers a vivid depiction of the kind of raw heartache that erupts unexpectedly and leaves a man filled with a sadness he never saw coming.
Aldean takes on the perspective of a man who realizes his partner has left, claiming she needs space and is going to her moms to clear her head. Initially, the woman promised they would work things out, but “four days and three nights” later, he’s left alone with only a bottle, a pack of cigarettes, and his own thoughts. Throughout the track, he continues to let his feelings pour out while questioning whether this separation is permanent or just temporary.
“How far Does a goodbye go/ Is it down to a corner bar/ Or outta town in a getaway car/ If it’s on a map this cowboy’s gotta know/ Is it a couple miles away comin’ up the road or on a midnight train on a runaway track/ How far does a goodbye go/ Till it don’t come back,” he sings on the chorus.
Alongside the song, Aldean and his wife-Brittany co-starred in a heart-pounding music video that found them playing out the emotional turmoil of the storyline.
Fans have since gotten a further look into the upcoming 20-track album through other early releases like “Help You Remember,” “Hard To Love You,” and “Lovin’ Me Too Long.” The latest round of songs were unveiled last month when Aldean premiered “Easier Gone” featuring Brittany Aldean, “Her Favorite Color” and “What’s A Little Heartache.”
Amid his latest milestone, Aldean is bringing his Full Throttle World Tour Down Under with stops across Australia. For the first time the multi-platinum award-winning artist will also headline shows in New Zealand. The run kicks off its international leg Thursday, February 19 and will wrap up in Canberra, AUS on March 1.
