Country music’s favorite grandpa is back in the spotlight as Alan Jackson welcomes his second grandson. Daughter Mattie Jackson Smith and husband Connor Smith became parents to baby Wesley Alan Smith on June 20 – a meaningful date that came just one day after Mattie’s own birthday.
The newborn’s name beautifully blends both family histories, with “Alan” honoring his famous grandfather and “Wesley” paying tribute to Connor’s side of the family. Alan broke his usual privacy to share the happy news on social media, posting a sweet hospital photo that shows three generations of Jacksons together.
This new addition comes just a year and a half after Alan and wife Denise became first-time grandparents when daughter Ali welcomed son Jackson Alvie Bradshaw in late 2022. The country star, known for his traditional values and family-focused lyrics, seems to be thoroughly enjoying his grandpa role at age 65.
Mattie expressed her joy in a heartfelt Instagram message, writing about the profound honor of motherhood and the special bond already forming between father and son. Fans of the multi-generational country music family have been flooding social media with congratulations for the growing Jackson clan.
