Thomas Rhett, Luke Combs, Parker McCollum, iHeartRadio’s Bobby Bones and others in the country music community will mark an exciting milestone with new additions to their families in 2026.

Some country stars will become first-time parents while others are expecting Babies No. 2, 3, 4 or 5 in the new year. Rhett and his wife, Lauren Akins, shared in August 2025 that Baby No. 5 is on the way. The country star is a dad to four young girls: Willa Gray (10), Ada James (8), Lennon Love (5) and Lillie Carolina (3). Combs and his wife, Nicole Combs, announced in September 2025 that Baby No. 3 would arrive in the winter, joining big brothers Tex Lawrence Combs, who was born in June 2022, and Beau Lee Combs, who arrived in August 2023.

Others will become parents for the first time, including Bobby Bones, who announced in September that his wife, Caitlin Estell, is pregnant with Baby No. 1. Rising country star Dylan Marlowe will become a dad for the first time; however, the Marlowe family will become a party of four right away. He and his wife, Natalie Marlowe, shared that they’re expecting twins.

Some artists even made big announcements during the holiday season. Country legend Alan Jackson posted a photo of “our growing family” on Christmas Day, sharing that all three of his daughters are pregnant and expecting children in 2026. Likewise, Parker McCollum and his wife revealed Baby No. 2 is on the way.
