Mattie Jackson Shares Heartwarming News: Baby No. 2 Is on the Way!

Alan Jackson’s daughter, Mattie Jackson, has shared a joyful update — she’s expecting her second child, and it’s a baby girl!

On Friday, October 10, Mattie took to Instagram to reveal the special news with a sweet photo carousel featuring her husband, Connor Smith, their 1-year-old son Wesley, and an ultrasound image of their baby girl.

“The most amazing news we are beyond excited to share – our little wild angel is going to be a big brother! 👶🏻🤰🏻🥹,” Mattie captioned the post.

The couple is overjoyed to be growing their family once again, with their baby girl expected to arrive in February 2026.

Mattie & Connor’s Love Story Grows Stronger: Welcoming Their First Child in 2024

In June 2024, Mattie Jackson and her husband Connor Smith joyfully welcomed their first child, Wesley Alan Smith. The name Wesley is a heartfelt tribute, honoring both Mattie’s legendary father Alan Jackson and Connor’s beloved grandfather.

Mattie’s journey to this moment has been marked by strength and resilience. In 2018, her first husband, Ben Selecman, tragically passed away just three weeks before their first wedding anniversary. In the years that followed, Mattie often shared how her faith became her anchor through unimaginable grief.

Three years later, life brought her a second chance at love when she met Connor. The two married in May 2023, and less than a year later, they announced the beautiful news that they were expecting their baby boy — a new chapter filled with hope, love, and joy.

Shortly after announcing her pregnancy with Wesley, Mattie opened up about the emotional complexity of experiencing both joy and lingering grief.

“To be honest, there’s part of me that’s always hesitant to share good news here,” she wrote. “To post about these miraculous things in my life that are literal answers to years of tearful prayers. Because I know many of you are just there — in that tearful, waiting, wondering prayer place.”

Her words reflected a deep empathy for those still walking through their own seasons of pain, even as she stepped into a new chapter of hope.
