His recent success is highlighted by a string of four songs that have reached No. 1 on the charts, alongside the joyous addition of his firstborn son, Major. This exciting combination of achievements has put McCollum in the spotlight as one of country music's most promising stars.

During a recent appearance on Taste of Country Nights, McCollum spoke with host Evan Paul, and the conversation quickly turned to the topic of fatherhood. It was a serious moment as McCollum reflected on his upbringing and the lessons he hopes to carry into his role as a parent.

When asked about the things he would never do as a father, McCollum shared, "My parents split when I was real young, so that's always something I've thought about since I was a kid." He expressed a firm belief in his commitment to his wife, Hallie Ray, stating, "Hallie Ray and I will be together forever. No question in my mind."

McCollum emphasized the importance of having a stable family environment for his son, saying, "Just kind of the consistency of his childhood and to have the both of us to lean on forever, I think will be something that’s really important to me." He clarified that while his own parents are wonderful people, their marriage didn't last long, and he wants to provide a different experience for Major.

"I look forward to kind of righting the ship for him on that," McCollum concluded, showing his dedication to being a committed husband and father. This commitment to family values and stability reflects in his music and personal life, positioning him as a relatable figure in the country music scene.
