2024 may not have been Bubba Wallace’s best year on the racetrack, but off the track, it has turned into one of the most joyous years of his life. The 23XI Racing driver and his wife Amanda have announced the arrival of their first child, a baby boy named Becks Hayden Wallace, born last Sunday following the Kansas race.
While Wallace’s 2024 season hasn’t delivered the performance levels he reached in 2023, missing the playoffs, this personal milestone brings a new dimension of happiness to his life. Bubba and Amanda, who tied the knot on New Year’s Eve of 2023, first announced they were expecting back in April, eagerly anticipating their new addition ever since.
The proud parents shared the happy news with fans through Bubba’s social media, posting heartwarming images of their newborn son. Wallace expressed his excitement for the future, posting:
“Amanda and I would like to introduce you to Becks Hayden! Blessed with his presence on Sunday 9/29! We’re so excited for this Journey!”
In the days leading up to Becks’ birth, Amanda also took to Instagram to reflect on her pregnancy journey. She shared how much she would miss her baby bump and the sensation of feeling their child move, despite the physical challenges that came with it.
“I’m truly gonna miss this big ol belly of mine and feeling our baby move around! I have loved being pregnant, though there have definitely been some hard points! But I sure am ready to welcome this lil boy to the world… Feeling very blessed!” Amanda wrote.
The Wallace family is currently basking in the joy of this special moment, surrounded by love and support from family and friends. Fans of NASCAR have joined in the celebrations, eagerly awaiting to see how fatherhood will impact Bubba’s performance on the racetrack. With Becks Hayden now in their lives, the Wallaces are set for an exciting new chapter.
