The two brothers are fighting it out, with heart-warming family announcements cheering them up.
Taking to X, Ty Dillon ecstatically announced the birth of his third child, Bear Dakota Dillon. He added four cute pictures of little Bear being fondled affectionately. Ty tweeted: “Bear Dakota Dillon, 8lbs 3oz! He made his fast entrance yesterday and we are so in love with him. God is so good! Dillon family of 5!”
