The county songstress posted two photos of her only son, Shelby Blackstock, on Instagram on May 10th. In one photo, he’s a newborn in his mother’s arms. She’s looking glamorous and ready to go on stage. In the second, he’s a grown man posing with Reba inside Studio 6B at 30 Rockefeller Plaza before Reba appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and the two share identical smiles.

“He made me a mother 36 years ago, and he’s been backstage with me ever since!” she captioned. “Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there.”
