Jesse “Beautiful Soul” McCartney—aka the man who once soundtracked your 8th grade crush meltdown—is officially a DILF. Yes, you read that right. Jesse is now a certified diaper daddy.
The 38-year-old heartthrob-turned-hot dad just welcomed his first baby with his mega-gorgeous wife and certified boss babe, Katie Peterson. And plot twist: the baby arrived EARLY. Like “I heard daddy singing and couldn’t wait to escape the womb” early. ✨
Meet Archer James McCartney 🏹💙
Katie casually broke the news like it wasn’t the most important thing to happen since the invention of glitter gel pens. On Instagram, obviously. She and Jesse dropped a joint post (power couple behavior) and introduced their tiny human: Archer James McCartney. Yes. ARCHER. Like the elegant-yet-deadly weapon. Or the cartoon spy. Either way, ICONIC.
“Our sweet Archie couldn’t wait to meet us,” Katie wrote, casually ignoring that we are all now emotionally attached to this infant. “He loves when mommy reads him books and when daddy sings him to sleep.” (Are you CRYING? We are crying.)
Apparently little baby Archer is already a certified mama’s boy and a sucker for live acoustic lullabies. Oh, and his big sister Bailey (the family dog, we presume?) is obsessed with him too and literally sleeps with his baby blanket every night like a walking Hallmark movie. 🐾🍼
- Jesse McCartney is a dad now.
- Baby’s name is Archer. He arrived May 7, 2025.
- He’s already more emotionally well-rounded than most adults.
- We’re all going to be weirdly obsessed with this baby until further notice.
And if that wasn’t enough adorable overload, Jesse’s Young & Hungry co-star Aimee Carrero just had a baby too. So basically, the Disney Channel universe is expanding—with babies. Someone call Lizzie McGuire and tell her to babysit.
BRB, crocheting a baby-sized leather jacket for Archer. 😭👶🖤
