Fans on Instagram were simply stunned by McCreery’s mature appearance in the new photo, especially those who remember watching him rise to fame on American Idol Season 10, which he won when he was just 17 years old.
McCreery, now a husband and father, has been married to wife Gabi since 2018. They welcomed their first child, son Merrick Avery McCreery, in October 2022, and they currently have another bundle of joy on the way.
“Our boy has become a man before our eyes😍” one user wrote in the comments, while another fan called McCreery “All grown up.❤️”
