Celebrating Country Music’s New Fathers On Father’s Day

Just before quarantine, Milton, Delaware native Jimmie Allen became a father of two, as his now-wife Alexis Gale gave birth to Naomi Bettie Allen on Sunday, March 1, 2020 — the same day his latest hit, “Make Me Want To,” topped the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. To Ty Bentli Show co-hosts Chuck Wicks and Trisha “T.J.” Jenkins,Allen noted, “The baby’s middle name is Bettie — we named her after my grandma. [Her] birthday was actually March 13, my mom’s birthday is March 7 and Naomi’s birthday is March 1.”

The “Every Little Thing” vocalist and his wife, Kailey, welcomed Remington Edward Dickerson into the world on September 10, 2020. To PEOPLE, five months after Remington’s birth, the new father noted, “So far it’s been pretty easy because we’re not back in full swing touring. I don’t have to fly all over the country, which definitely helps with the time at home. I’ve just enjoyed being able to slow down for a minute and learn how to be a dad. Then once things start picking back up, we’ll have the swing of things, [then we can get into] being parents on the road, which has got to be absolute chaos.”

Six months after giving birth to Luca Reed, Florida Georgia Line’s Tyler Hubbard and his wife Hayley welcomed a baby boy named Atlas Roy Hubbard on September 24, 2020. The couple has hinted that they’ll stop at three. Their other two children — Olivia Rose and Luca Reed — were born in December of 2017 and August of 2019, respectively. “Atlas stands for strength. For us, this name also represents our family’s passion for travel and experiencing different cultures,” the Hubbards told PEOPLE. Tyler added he hopes that Atlas will — via his father’s name Roy being his middle name — “carry on my dad’s legacy and will always be a reminder of how well he loved everyone.”
