The family milestone for Walters' family tops off an incredible first half of 2020 for the musician, whose band Six60 played a sold-out show at Eden Park in April.
The history-making show saw the band play to 50,000 fans, supported by acts including Drax Project and Dave Dobbyn.
Reflecting on the moment on Instagram, Walters called the concert "a dream come true".
It was an especially memorable night for his bandmate Marlon Gerbes, who proposed to his girlfriend Monica Cronin.
Gerbes shared his fiancee's post on his Instagram stories, showing the emotional moment and a short clip showing the band members celebrating.
