Exciting News for Reba McEntire’s Family
Reba McEntire’s family is eagerly anticipating the arrival of a new member. Shelby Blackstock, the iconic country singer’s son, and his wife Marissa recently hosted a music-themed baby shower to celebrate their soon-to-arrive baby boy.
Baby Name Reveal at the Shower
During the event, the couple shared the name they have chosen for their son, who is expected to be born in October. He will be named Archer Blackstock. The couple cleverly themed the shower around the Blackstock family’s musical heritage, dubbing the event “Archer’s Welcome to the World Tour.” The decorations featured a variety of concert-inspired elements.
Creative Decorations and Activities
A marquee-style sign announced, “Vinyl Vault Presents: Archer Blackstock,” celebrating his anticipated fall arrival while promoting his fictional debut tour, “Welcome to the World Tour.” Additionally, a playful mock review from Rolling Stone humorously declared his upcoming birth as “The Hottest New Release of the Year.”
Guest Contributions
Attendees were encouraged to sign a custom record plaque with messages for the future parents, which read, “Archie Blackstock: A Star is Born.” Reba made sure to leave a personal note expressing her excitement, signed, “Grandma Reba.”
Memorializing a Difficult Journey
This baby shower is a particularly meaningful occasion for Shelby and Marissa, especially after experiencing a pregnancy loss last December. They had been trying to conceive for three years through various methods, including natural cycles, medication, and in vitro fertilization (IVF). Now, they are just months away from welcoming their first child.
Love Story of Shelby and Marissa
The couple met on Tinder in 2014 and began dating two years later. Their relationship blossomed, leading to their marriage in 2022 at Epcot, where they also announced their pregnancy in April 2026.
Joyful Anticipation for Baby Archer
In a heartfelt post, they shared, “Oh, BOY! We’re beyond excited to FINALLY announce our little man is coming in October. See ya real soon, pal! Mommy + Daddy love you! 🤟🏼”
A New Chapter for Reba and Family
Shelby is Reba McEntire’s only biological child, and Archer will be her first biological grandchild. Although Reba had a close bond with her late stepson Brandon Blackstock, who passed away last August, Archer’s arrival signifies a joyful new beginning for the family.
