Parker McCollum’s growing family, Miranda Lambert’s heartbreaking goodbye | Music City Minute

The Gold Chain cowboy, Parker McCollum and his wife, Hallie Ray, shared very exciting news on Christmas Day. As it turns out, their one-year-old son, Major, is going to be a big brother! The country couple posted the pregnancy announcement along with a carousel of adorable family photos. Mama and Papa McCollum added, the baby boy, will be due next summer. Congratulations to the soon-to-be party of four!

Speaking of babies, Miranda Lambert has put a lot of energy into rescuing and raising fur babies of all shapes and sizes. Sadly, the bona fide dog mom revealed her sweet Chihuahua, Cher, has crossed the rainbow bridge. The Tin Man singer shared precious memories of the petite pup, beginning with her adoption fifteen years ago. Not long after, Cher got her first taste of celebrity life, making her red-carpet debut at the ACM Awards. Needless-to-say, the dainty diva proved a star in her own right, serving as ambassador for the Mutt Nation Foundation, practically since the nonprofit’s inception.
