NASHVILLE, Tennessee -- Country music Hall of Famer Alan Jackson announced last month he is returning to the road for one final tour and then plans to spend more time with family.
As of this week, that family is growing.
His daughter, Mattie Jackson, announced she gave birth this week to a boy.
“One week ago my life was forever changed,” she said in an Instagram post Thursday. “Wesley Alan Smith joined our little family on June 20th, the absolute best birthday gift I could have ever imagined. There is no greater honor in life than being chosen by God to be your mom.”
Her dad, 65, will continue the “Last Call: One More for the Road” tour which features performances in cities across the U.S. beginning in August and going through May 2025.
