A Look at Alan Jackson’s Daughters and Growing Family
Along with being a grandpa of four, Alan Jackson is a father to three daughters.
Alan and Denise welcomed their first daughter, Mattie, in June 1990. Their second daughter, Alexandra “Ali” Jane, was born in August 1993. The couple’s youngest daughter, Dani Grace, arrived in August 1997.
The couple’s eldest daughter, Mattie, married her husband, Connor Smith, in 2023. Mattie and Connor welcomed their first child, Wesley Alan Smith, into the family in June 2024. Their second child and first daughter, Charlotte “Charlie” Ann Smith, was born in February 2026.
Mattie had previously been married to Ben Selecman. However, she became a widow in 2018. Her first husband died after a tragic accident where he sustained traumatic brain injuries after slipping on a boat dock and hitting his head. The loss was felt by the entire Jackson family.
Alan and Denise’s second daughter, Ali, married Sam Bradshaw in 2020. Ali gave birth to Alan and Denise’s first grandchild, Jackson “Jack” Alvie Bradshaw, in December 2022. Jack was born on his grandparents’ 43rd Wedding Anniversary. Ali and Sam are also parents to the newest little addition, Parker Anne Bradshaw, who was born in April 2026.
The Jacksons’ youngest daughter, Dani, tends to keep her personal life private. However, the country music legend did share a photo at Christmas time revealing that his youngest daughter is also expecting a child. This means that Alan and Denise have one more grandchild arriving later in 2026.
