Reba McEntire’s son announced on Wednesday that he’s about to become a first-time father.
Shelby Blackstock, whom McEntire shares with her ex-husband Narvel Blackstock, revealed in an Instagram post that he and his wife Marissa were expecting their first child.
‘Oh, BOY! We’re beyond excited to FINALLY announce our little man is coming in October,’ he gushed in the caption, while sharing photos of himself and Marissa beaming at Disney World as they posed in front of Cinderella’s Castle at the Magic Kingdom.
Shelby shared his happy news just eight months after the death of his half-brother Brandon Blackstock — who was the ex-husband and former manager of Kelly Clarkson — after a years-long battle with skin cancer.
The lovebirds shared a sweet kiss with the castle towering over them and held up a cute Disney-themed onesie with a baby Mickey Mouse embroidered on the front.
It featured their family name, along with the baby’s due date of October 2026.

‘See ya real soon, pal! Mommy + Daddy love you! 🤘🏻,’ Blackstock signed off in a sweet message to his future son.
He and his wife beamed in another photo as they strolled down the bridge to the castle while holding hands, as Marissa rested her free hand over her burgeoning baby bump.
They shared a loving kiss in another snap taken in the shade of the castle while both held up a corner of their sonogram for the camera, and Shelby stood behind his wife and placed both their hands over her stomach in a subsequent shot.
Another photo in the couple’s Instagram carousel featured a close-up of the onesie laid out on a table, along with a copy of Marissa’s sonogram, a white cake decorated with blue Mickey designs and ‘Oh Boy!’ written on top in white frosting.
Shelby and Marissa had also gotten a custom black Mickey ears hat with ‘Baby Blackstock — October 2026’ printed in gold text on the back.
They had also received a silver-and-lavender Disney-branded sippy cup with text on the side reading, ‘Made with love and pixie dust.’
Next to it was a handwritten note that read, ‘Congratulations on your new addition! Wishing you all the best in your next chapter as parents!’
