Jon Pardi and his wife, Summer, announced they are expecting their second baby. Summer revealed the baby news in a January 6th Instagram post. The news may be a surprise to some fans because Jon and Summer’s first child, a daughter named Presley Fawn, was born only ten months ago.
Summer’s Instagram post was a video with the caption, “Good thing we have that extra guest room.”

The video shows Jon and Summer with Presley in a home that is currently under construction. The young couple is guiding their first child through the unfinished home. Another moment shows Jon holding his daughter proudly and walking towards the camera.
But the highlight of this video might be when baby Presley is shown sitting on the unfinished floors in the house, holding a sonogram of her sibling who is on the way. Summer also wrote, “We can’t wait to fill this home with all the love from our little family of four.”

Jon Announced His Sobriety in December
As Jon and Summer’s family is growing and changing, People shared Jon’s confession to another life-changing decision in December 2023. This came during an appearance on Amazon Music’s Country Heat Weekly podcast, billed as ‘Jon Pardi’s Christmas Party.”
Jon’s holiday celebrations included some personal news. He explained on the podcast that he had been sober for nearly four months. Jon confessed, “I’ve been 112 days sober.” He also revealed, “I’ve lost a bunch of weight.”
Jon discussed this with podcast hosts Kelly Sutton and Amber Anderson, telling them that he had been diagnosed as being pre-diabetic. He said that he told himself, “I gotta stop.”
Jon believes he gained significant weight as a result of drinking. He admitted it was affecting his mood. So, he decided to change his life and eliminate drinking.
He told Kelly and Amber, “I was really getting to the point where every picture, every video, I was so unhappy with myself.” Jon added, “Where I was going, I needed to just take a break.”
But Jon’s sobriety news also contained an inspiring message for fans because Jon feels that quitting drinking could be an excellent way to kickstart weight loss. Jon said he has become more confident and even joked about how much better he felt after a recent photo shoot. After he looked at the photos, he thought to himself, “Damn. I look good.”
Jon said that for anybody thinking about a lifestyle change to lose weight, he believes it does “help tremendously” when you stop drinking. Although Jon did confess, he still suffers from a weakness: his sweet tooth. Jon told Kelly and Amber, “I love me some ice cream.” His favorite dessert is either Twix Candy ice cream or coffee ice cream.
As for his sobriety, Jon referred to the process as a “journey,” and claimed on the podcast, “I’m retired, OK?” He meant his decision to stop drinking right now. Jon admitted that it doesn’t mean he can’t come “out of retirement.” Although he said, “For right now, it’s been great” to eliminate drinking from his life.

Before her wedding to Jon in 2020, Summer revealed details of their meet-cute to People. She said Jon was performing in her hometown, and he called and invited Summer to the show.
The problem was that Summer was in Las Vegas that night. So she told Jon, “Maybe next time you’re in town.”
Summer was shocked when Jon replied, “How about I fly you to Denver next week?”
They began dating very shortly after they met.
Jon and Summer’s engagement also made big news in country music. He surprised Summer in October 2019 by proposing during his sold-out show at the legendary Ryman Auditorium. Jon shocked the crowd when he brought Summer onstage and got down on one knee. The audience clapped and cheered as Jon proposed, giving Jon and Summer a standing ovation after she told Jon, “Yes.”
Jon and Summer shared a personal history at the Ryman because that’s where they had one of their first dates.
Country superstar Dierks Bentley, a friend of Jon’s, snapped a photo of the exciting proposal backstage at the Ryman. Dierks shared the great news on Instagram, writing how proud he was of Jon. Dierks wrote, in part, “Killer show with my all-time fav encore. Congrats to you and Summer Fawn Duncan.”
