Jesse McCartney has another beautiful soul in his life.
The “Beautiful Soul” singer and wife Katie Peterson welcomed their first baby, a son named Archer James McCartney, last month, the couple confirmed on social media.
“Archer James McCartney took center stage on 5/7/25,” they wrote in a joint post on Instagram June 17 alongside adorable snaps of the newborn wearing a custom white onesie. “Our sweet Archie couldn’t wait to meet us and arrived a bit earlier than expected.”
The pair went on to provide insight into how their tiny tot has been doing since joining the family.
“We are so in love with him,” their message continued. “He loves when mommy reads him a book and when daddy sings him off to sleep.”
And Jesse and Katie shared that they’re excited to eventually introduce Archer to another member of their family: their pup.
“We look forward to bringing him home very soon to meet his big sister Bailey, who sleeps with his blanket every night,” they added. “Enjoy some cute pictures of our little fighter, Archer.”
Jesse, 37, and Katie, 37, first announced their pregnancy news to fans while sharing why they had a new Valentine to celebrate on the holiday. In their Feb. 14 post, the couple wore matching pajama sets holding an ultrasound photo, which they captioned, “our lil Valentine.”
For Jesse and Katie, who wed in 2021 after nine years of dating, growing their family has long been part of their plan.
