The couple's announcement
McCartney and Peterson shared the pregnancy news on October 1 and gave March 2027 as the due month. Reports based on that post form one announcement chain, not multiple independent confirmations.
Their family timeline
The couple married in 2021 and welcomed Archer on May 7, 2025. The second-baby news arrives while their first child is still a toddler, which is the key family context supplied by the report.
What has not been announced
No name or exact birth date has been made public. The due month is a plan stated in the announcement and should not be treated as a completed event.
Update note: Original Australian-source briefing preserving the announcement chain and avoiding duplicate-origin inflation.
