Toby Keith’s family just got a little bigger! His son, Stelen, and daughter-in-law, Haley, have welcomed a baby girl, marking the country legend’s fourth grandchild.
The couple announced the exciting news on August 15, taking to social media to share the first precious photo of their daughter. “Millie is here 💕 We love you so much little girl,” they wrote alongside the sweet snapshot.
In the photo, baby Millie is wrapped in a zip-up swaddle decorated with pink bows. Above her, a custom banner featuring her name and monogram, also adorned with pink bows, hangs proudly.
With her full head of dark brown hair, tiny button nose, and peaceful expression, Millie already has fans swooning.
OH MY GOODNESS I CANNOT BELIEVE IT 🥹😭 WHAT A BEAUTY!!!!,” one Instagram user wrote.
Another shared, “Congratulations to all! She is absolutely beautiful! Millie is a beautiful name for your precious little girl. God Bless all of you!”
Stelen and Haley announced that they were expecting in February. On Instagram, they shared a cute selfie-style photo where Haley can be seen holding images from an ultrasound.
“Baby Covel coming this summer,” they excitedly shared.
In May, their daughter was celebrated with an intimate baby shower, attended by Stelen and Toby Keith’s daughters, Krystal and Shelley.
Baby Millie is Toby Keith’s fourth grandchild, following Krystal Keith’s two daughters, and Shelley’s son.
Stelen and Haley wed in November 2021 in a stunning outdoor ceremony. The event took place at Cascata Gold Club in Boulder City, Nevada, just outside of Las Vegas.
Toby Keith walked Haley down the aisle. Upon the country star’s passing on February 5, 2024, Haley reflected on this moment and her relationship with him on social media.
“I’ll never have the right words to say. Toby was larger than life at home and on stage. It’s a complete honor to be his daughter-in-law. He took me in as his own and I’ll be forever grateful for that. He touched the lives of so many and I’m blessed to be one of those,” she wrote. “Posting an image that means so much to me. He walked me down the aisle in 2021 to marry his son. 🤍 Thank you for all of the prayers for our family during this time.”
Stelen was Toby’s only son. He shared a deeply emotional tribute on social media and promised, “It’s not goodbye forever; it’s just goodbye for now.”
You are the strongest man I have ever known. A fighter. A true titan of your industry. My guiding star. My coach. My hero. An embodiment of the American Spirit,” he wrote. “You are a man whose strength, prowess, and talent could only be trumped by his ability to be a father and husband. Your impact is forever stamped on the world and on millions of people, yet not one person knew you the way I did. You were my biggest champion and the guiding light in my darkest times.”
He added that his dad was “the best mentor a man could ask for” and praised his passion for music and the legacy he left behind.
“You truly did it your way, from the starting gates to the finish line, and never apologized for it.”
Toby Keith’s memory lives on through his music, his children and grandchildren.
