Parker McCollum has nothing but praise for his wife Hallie Ray Light McCollum.
During a Thursday, Jan. 8 interview with Sirius XM’s The Highway, the country star opened up about how his wife is handling her pregnancy after announcing they are expecting their second child in December 2025.
When asked if Hallie Ray had changed since her pregnancy, Parker, 33, revealed his wife has been “the same exact person every single day.”
He then contrasted their morning routines. While he noted that Hallie Ray needs about an hour in the morning “to get the juices flowing,” he describes himself as “a morning person.”
“It’s even before my eyes open,” said Parker. “Every morning of my life before my eyes even open, my brain’s going.”
He continued, “Before I open my eyes, [I] have 1,000 thoughts in my head. [My wife needs] about an hour after she wakes up before she’s really kicked into gear.”

However he noted that his wife is “the exact same person every single day.”
“She is my constant,” said Parker. “Opposites, attracted there for sure. I’m all over the place. I’m nine different people before I get out of the shower in the morning. And she is just steady, man. I mean, you can’t rattle her.
Parker also spoke about possible names for his future son.
“If Hallie Ray would just, you know, let go and let me, his name would be ‘Baller,'” he quipped. “Not literally actually baller, but it would be a really cool name. ‘Baller McCollum.’ That’s actually bad. It’s not terrible.”
He then noted that his 16-month-old son originally wanted their future baby’s name to be “Keaton Cadillac McCollum and call him Cadillac Mack.”
“[Hallie Ray] just wouldn’t go for it. But what a strong name that is. I’m still holding out hope,” said Parker.
Parker and his wife shared a joint post to Instagram on Christmas Day 2025, announcing that Hallie is pregnant with their second child, a boy.
“McCollum party of 4 next Christmas!!!!” Hallie Ray captioned the post, sharing snaps of herself, McCollum and their son Major smiling and embracing in front of their Christmas tree.
She added, “Another BOY joining us summer 2026!!! Merry Christmas, everyone!” she continued. “Thank you, Jesus! HBD!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.”
McCollum teased in the comments section, “Congratulations!!!”
