Cooper Alan and his wife Hally are parents!
The country music star, 29, and his wife Hally welcomed their first baby, daughter Coley Frances Cooper, sharing the exciting news on Instagram on Wednesday, Dec. 17. The newly minted parents shared the first snap of their family of three in the joint post, saying Coley means “everything” to them.
“Coley Frances Cooper 💗 Everything we’ve prayed for, dreamed about, & then some! Thank you Jesus!” the couple wrote in a joint post, featuring pictures of the trio at the hospital and returning home.
The first-time parents, who tied the knot on Sept. 23, 2023, announced they were expecting over the summer in a joint post on Instagram of a sweet video set to Taylor Swift’s “But Daddy I Love Him.”
“Sweetest news we’ve ever shared – Praising God for this perfect gift!!!!!” the couple captioned the June 12 video, adding several white heart emojis.
In the clip, Hally wore a flowing white maxi dress with a relaxed fit and short sleeves in one outdoor scene with the “First Rodeo” singer. The sweet sunset moment showed the high school sweethearts turned husband and wife looking at sonogram photos of their baby-to-be.
“I’ve wanted to marry Hally since the 10th grade and now it’s official!” Alan previously told PEOPLE in September 2023, just after they said their “I do’s”. “I’m so happy to get to spend the rest of my life with my best friend.”
At the time, Hally added, “Stepping into marriage with Cooper is without a doubt, the joy of my life. Taking those sacred vows in front of everyone we love — but most importantly, in front of God — was so special to me.”

She added a pair of pink cowgirl boots to complete her look as she prepared to give birth to her first child with the country singer. More photos showed a room filled with boxes of pink wrapped presents and pink gift bags, as well as pink onesies hanging in the background. Hally also held a pink bouquet in a few of the shots.
“Beautiful mama,” Alan commented.
Just before the festive photos concluded, Hally made sure to include their dog as their family grew, showing off a white onesie that read, “Weezie’s new best friend,” in black letters and an animated photo of an excited pup.
