Country music icon Reba McEntire's son, Shelby Blackstock, and his wife, Marissa, have welcomed their first child. The couple announced on October 21 that they are now parents to a son, Shelby Archer "Archie" McEntire Blackstock. Shelby, a race car driver, shared his joy on Instagram, noting the difficulty in reaching this milestone and expressing his contentment in spending the initial weeks with his newborn.
The couple first revealed their pregnancy in April, celebrating with photos from Walt Disney World. This theme park holds special significance for them, as they were married there in April 2022. They previously described their relationship, which began eight years prior via Tinder, as a "Tinderella story."
Shelby is Reba McEntire's only biological child. The news comes as Reba McEntire is engaged to Rex Linn. Tragically, Reba's stepson Brandon died in August 2025, a loss Shelby has publicly mourned. Shelby recently reflected on the impact of his late half-brother while anticipating fatherhood.
