Reba McEntire's Son Shelby Blackstock and Daughter-in-Law Marissa Share Baby Boy's Name at Unique Baby Shower
Reba McEntire's son Shelby Blackstock and daughter-in-law Marissa recently shared the name of their upcoming baby boy at their baby shower. The couple revealed that they plan to name their son Archer, with a possible nickname of Archie. The baby shower had a unique theme, centered around a "Welcome to the World" tour for baby Archer, with guests receiving VIP passes and signing a custom record plaque in his honor.
The event featured special touches like a personalized record plaque with messages from guests, including one from "Grandma Reba." Guests were also invited to contribute to a playlist for baby Archer. The party decor included a red carpet-style backdrop for photos, as well as a cake announcing the baby's gender with blue lettering.
Shelby and Marissa Blackstock have been open about their journey to parenthood, which included struggles with infertility and a pregnancy loss. Despite these challenges, the couple is excited to welcome their first child together. Reba McEntire, Shelby's mother, has a blended family and a close relationship with her stepson Brandon Blackstock, who tragically passed away last year.
Brandon Blackstock, Reba's stepson, had four children, including two with his ex-wife Kelly Clarkson. Reba has fond memories of her time with Brandon and continues to support his family following his death. While details of their relationship remain private, Reba has shared updates on how the kids are coping after losing their father.
