Alan Jackson and his wife, Denise, are celebrating a new addition to their growing family.
The country music icon took to social media to announce the arrival of their fifth grandchild, sharing a sweet first photo of their newest grandson, Samuel Hudson Carrington, who will go by Hudson. The baby is the first child for Jackson’s youngest daughter, Dani Grace Carrington, and her husband, Sam.
Alongside the heartwarming snapshot, Jackson shared his excitement over the family’s newest blessing.
“Denise and I are overjoyed to announce the birth of our fifth grandchild, Samuel Hudson Carrington (Hudson), born July 9 to Dani and her husband Sam,” Jackson wrote.
Hudson joins Jackson and Denise’s growing family of grandchildren. Their daughter, Alexandra “Ali” Bradshaw, and her husband, Sam Bradshaw, are parents to son Jackson Alvie, who was born in 2022, and daughter Parker Anne, who arrived earlier in 2026. Their eldest daughter, Mattie Jackson Smith, and her husband, Connor Smith, share two children as well: son Wesley Alan Smith, born in 2024, and daughter Charlotte Ann “Charlie” Smith, who was welcomed in 2026.
The family news comes just days after Alan Jackson closed out his legendary touring career with his final concert in Nashville, where more than 80,000 fans gathered across Music City to celebrate the country icon during an unforgettable evening.
Fans who weren’t able to attend, or those hoping to relive the historic night, will soon have the chance to experience it again. Jackson is set to release the performance as a live album, Last Call: One More for the Road – The Finale (Live from Nashville), later this year. Pre-orders are available now, and according to his official website, the album is expected to ship on December 31, 2026.
All three of Jackson’s daughters, Mattie, Ali, and Dani, were there to witness the milestone moment. Following the show, Mattie took to social media to reflect on her father’s iconic career.
“There’s no telling what number show this was for me in 36 years. But it’s one I’ll never ever forget. We’ve always been so proud of @officialalanjackson, of course. But it’s easy to lose sight of just how remarkable his life and career has been when it’s always been the ‘normal’ backdrop to your life,” she wrote.
Later, she added, “Saturday was anything but normal. His music has transcended generations. His words have both healed and celebrated real people’s lives in their broken and beautiful moments. He’s always sung the truth which is why fans always come back.”
The show was also filmed for an NBC special, which will air later this year.

Kacey Musgraves is teaming up with Stanley 1913 for a brand-new limited-edition collection that pays tribute to her Texas roots while drawing inspiration from her recently released Middle of Nowhere album.
The newly announced Stanley 1913 x Kacey Musgraves collection features four signature pieces: the leakproof 40-ounce Quencher ProTour, a 24-ounce Pet Bowl, a 16-ounce Everyday Suburban Mug and a 1-quart Classic Legendary Bottle.
Inspired by rodeo culture and vintage Western fashion, the collection blends rustic charm with Musgraves’ signature style, creating a lineup that reflects the spirit and aesthetic of Middle of Nowhere.
“I’ve been wanting to partner with Stanley 1913 for ages,” the 8-time GRAMMY winner shared in a statement. “It’s been fun collaborating on a collection that reflects my personal aesthetic; blending modern and traditional, and something I actually use every day whether I’m hydrating in the studio, preparing for tour, or surviving the occasional dry spell.”
“Like Kacey Musgraves, our brand continues to transcend categories and challenge what’s expected, and this partnership beautifully brings that spirit to life across our signature hydration and café products, as well as our first pet product in a partnership collection—blending artistry and iconic design into a capsule that feels distinctly her,” Kate Ridley, Chief Brand Officer for Stanley 1913, added.
The Stanley 1913 x Kacey Musgraves Collection features the following items:
The leakproof 40-ounce Quencher ProTour ($65), designed to keep drinks ice cold and featuring a first-of-its-kind translucent handle for a unique look.
A 24-ounce Pet Bowl ($40) inspired by Musgraves’ beloved rescue dog, Pepper, an Australian cattle dog she adopted in 2020. It also marks the first time Stanley has included a pet bowl in one of its collaboration collections.
The 16-ounce Everyday Suburban Mug ($45), a cupholder-friendly design with an easy-carry handle that’s made for life on the go, whether you’re hitting the road or heading home.
The 1-quart Classic Legendary Bottle ($55), a nod to Stanley’s iconic heritage that blends seamlessly with Musgraves’ signature mix of vintage Western style and modern design.
Both the Quencher ProTour and the Everyday Suburban Mug come adorned with a custom charm set featuring Middle of Nowhere album-inspired artwork, a Texas star, a silver concho and a vegan leather tassel.
