Jesse McCartney and Wife Katie Peterson Welcome First Baby

by

Jesse McCartney has another beautiful soul in his life.

Last month, the singer known as “Beautiful Soul” and his wife, Katie Peterson, announced the arrival of their firstborn child, a boy named Archer James McCartney, through their social media platforms.

In their shared Instagram post on June 17, they announced that James McCartney, the archer, was the center of attention on May 7. They also shared heartwarming photos of the newborn in a white onesie, stating that little Archie arrived sooner than anticipated and was eager to meet his parents.

The duo shared details about their little one’s well-being since becoming part of their family.

Their message went on to say, “We’re absolutely smitten with him! He adores it when mommy reads him stories and when daddy sings him lullabies at bedtime.

Additionally, Jesse and Katie mentioned they look forward to the day when they can present Archer to another beloved family member – their dog.

I can hardly wait until I can bring him back home so he can finally meet his big sis, the ever-loving Bailey, who snuggles up with her blanket each night. Here are a few adorable snaps of our brave little guy, Archer!

Jesse, aged 37, and Katie, also 37, disclosed to their fans that they had a special reason for celebration on Valentine’s Day. In their February 14th post, the couple appeared in coordinated pajamas, cradling an ultrasound image, which they labelled as “our little Valentine.

For Jesse and Katie, starting a family was always a significant aspect of their long-term plans, which they finally fulfilled by getting married in 2021, following nine years together.

The actor from “Summerland” shared with TopMob News in March 2024, “I see a lot of my close friends with children now, and there are so many precious moments they experience. In the future, having such experiences is definitely something I aspire for.

Indeed, he embraced the concept wholeheartedly while performing to the tune of Yung Gravy’s hit track “Make a Baby.” In the music video for this song, both him and Yung Gravy were captured alongside expectant mothers. As Jesse shared with TopMob, they intentionally amplified this theme: “We were definitely capitalizing on it,” he said. “We knew it would stir up the response it did, create a buzz online.

And he admitted that beyond the song, it was part of his journey into parenthood. 

Jesse explained, “This is the road we’re currently taking.” To clarify, I must emphasize that we are not expecting a child, but it’s a topic we’ve considered.

The singer behind ‘How Do You Sleep?’ and his partner, Katie, have been actively preparing for parenthood in a unique way – by caring for their furry family member, Bailey, who served as the flower girl at their wedding.

Jesse remarked, “The thought of maintaining something’s life is quite frightening for me. We’ve managed well with our pet dog, but the duty involved in nurturing a human child is on an entirely different level.

Regardless of his concerns, the former member of Dream Street feels reassured by the backing he receives. Jesse expressed his appreciation for having his wife stand by him during this new phase in their lives. In jest, he remarked, “I’d be rearing a caveman if not for her, so it’s fortunate that she’ll be helping me raise our child.
