Stelen Keith Covel and his wife have welcomed Baby No. 1!

The new parents announced on Instagram on Friday (August 15) that daughter “Millie is here 💕 We love you so much little girl,” Haley Covel wrote in the caption of the couple’s shared Instagram post.

Covel, 28, and his wife announced in February that their baby would arrive this summer. They posted a selfie holding the sonogram images, and Covel included a subtle nod to his late father, legendary country artist Toby Keith, by wearing one of his merch t-shirts in the photo.

Keith was also a father to daughters Shelley Covel Rowland and Krystal Keith, who also have children of their own. Keith “passed peacefully…surrounded by family,” on February 5, 2024, following a battle with stomach cancer. He was 62. The country star’s wife, Tricia Covel, said when her late husband was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame that “he was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather — or Pop-Pop, to our grandkids — brother, friend, singer, producer, businessman. He was masterful at everything he did. ...Whatever he put his mind to, he excelled and he did the best he could do to be the best he could be.”

Covel is one of several people in the country music community to welcome a baby in 2025. Others include Aubrey Evans (Sara Evans’ daughter), Scotty McCreery, Lady A’s Charles Kelley and more. See the list of pregnancy announcements here.
