Bubba and his wife, Amanda Wallace, first bumped into each other back in high school, though they didn’t kick off their romance until after graduation. Fast forward to 2022, and they tied the knot in a ceremony packed with personal touches, like handwritten vows. Their family grew a bit before this too—they adopted an Aussie-poodle mix pup back in July 2020.

#23 Toyota driver, whose sponsors include McDonald’s and Jordan Brand took to social media to show off their newest family member with a post saying, Let me tell ya ’bout my best friend. Asher meet the world.” That definitely means we’ll be seeing the junior Wallace around the race track sooner than we think. And why not in Air Jordans and the McD scheme mini cap?

Alongside the caption was a cute snapshot of the couple holding Asher, who was rocking a tiny red bandana. And now, an even bigger announcement—they’re expecting—has NASCAR fans, alongside family and friends, showering them with loads of good wishes.
