Alan Jackson is celebrating yet another new addition to his family! The country music legend and his wife proudly took to social media on Thursday, April 9 to announce the arrival of their second granddaughter, Parker Anne Bradshaw, born to their daughter Alexandra (Ali) and her husband, Sam Bradshaw.
The baby girl joins her big brother Jackson Alvie Bradshaw (born 2022).
According to the heartfelt post, Parker was born on Wednesday, April 8, just one day prior to making their official announcement. Jackson and his other half were captured with big smiles on their faces while holding the newest bundle of joy.
His caption read, “Denise and I are thrilled to announce the birth of our second granddaughter Parker Anne Bradshaw. Parker joined our family on April 8th. Proud parents are Ali and Sam Bradshaw.”
In addition to Jackson and Parker, the hitmaker is also a grandfather to grandson Wesley Alan Smith (born 2024) and granddaughter Charlotte Ann (Charlie) Smith, who arrived less than two months earlier than Parker on February 13. Charlie was born to Jackson’s daughter Mattie and Connor Smith.
At the time Mattie announced the birth of Charlie, she commemorated the occasion by writing, “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 is the oldest daughter of Alan Jackson and is joined by her sisters, Alexandra and Dani. All three women were pregnant at the same time over the holiday season, making for a very celebratory time for the Jackson family. While Mattie and Alexandra have both welcomed their newborns, Dani is still expecting.
Fans got a glimpse into the “Chattahoochee” singer’s life at home this Christmas when he shared a sweet family photo highlighting all three daughters proudly showing off their baby bumps.
“Merry Christmas from our growing family! — Alan & Denise,” he wrote at the time.
While he seems to be soaking up plenty of time with his loved ones lately, Alan Jackson is preparing for his final performance this summer. The bittersweet farewell show taking place at Nissan Stadium sold out all 55,000 tickets almost immediately.
Jackson’s special evening celebrating the end of his legendary career will feature 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, and more.

Roberts is heading into the award show vying for a win in the category of New Female Artist of the Year. As soon as she found out, she had to share the news with some very special people in her life. The new video that has surfaced on Roberts’ Instagram first shows just her and her mom celebrating the news via Facetime.
She slowly built the anticipation as she read off each of this year’s nominees including Avery Anna, MacKenzie Carpenter, Dasha, Caroline Jones, and finally, Emily Ann Roberts. An elated scream instantly erupted through the phone from her mom, matching both hers and her husband Chris Sasser’s excitement over the news. Roberts’ hand flew to her face in an attempt to cover the tears of joy filling up in her eyes.
“I knew it, I knew it…you’re gonna win,” the voice from the phone said, promoting a big laugh out of the songstress. Her mom then told her to “start getting your speech ready.”
The “Easy Does It’ singer humbly stated that she doesn’t think she will take home the win, but she is “thankful to be nominated.”
Slowly, more loved ones began to join the facetime call, prompting more tears and more celebratory reactions.
“That’s crazy” Roberts added with tears streaming down her face as she read off the list of nominees once again.
A male voice from the phone proudly added, “There’s 10 years worth of work, sweet pea.”
The video ended on a lighter note as someone on the other end of the line asked, “Can you send me a screenshot of that.”
Emily Ann Roberts wrote in the caption that she will “remember this morning forever” before then sharing the utmost gratitude towards the ACM Awards for recognizing her this year.
“Thank you Jesus and thank you @acmawards !!! 😭🤍 I’ll see ya in Vegas in May !!!!!!”

This milestone news for Emily Ann Roberts follows the release of her newest track, “Whipped,” which she penned alongside Jeremy Spillman, Trent Willmon, and Ryan Beaver. The playful, lighthearted tune offers a hilarious nod to her husband and all that the has done for her, especially since moving into their first home together.
Additionally, the Tennessee native is set to drop another new song inspired by her love life titled “My Future.” Roberts reveals that the heartfelt story behind the song, which arrives on Friday, April 10, was actually her husband’s idea.
He thought it would be a great song idea after seeing so many comments on social media saying, ‘I think I see my future.’ I started daydreaming about it and fell in the love with the idea of a girl seeing a guy and planning their whole life together in a matter of minutes. A little crazy? Yeah maybe, but when a woman knows what she wants, she knows!”
The creativity began to flow between her and co-writers Shane Minor and Micah Wilshir and before they knew it, they had a new tune that’s “full of personality and exactly what I dreamed it would be.”
Fans can find Roberts serving as support for Cody Johnson and Thomas Rhett on their respective 2026 tours in addition to a few headline dates and festivals. Her time on the road with Johnson will include dates across the U.K. and Ireland.
