Stelen Keith Covel, Son of Toby Keith, Expecting First Child With Wife Haley
One year after the heartbreaking loss of country music legend Toby Keith, his legacy continues through a joyful new chapter in the life of his son, Stelen Keith Covel. Stelen and his wife Haley have announced they are expecting their first child together.
The couple shared the exciting news on Instagram, posting a series of heartwarming photos holding up sonogram images and smiling side by side. Their caption read simply but sweetly: “Baby Covel coming this summer.”
Stelen, the youngest of Toby Keith’s three children with wife Tricia Lucas, was born in April 1997. He follows in the footsteps of his older sisters—Shelley, whom Toby adopted after marrying Tricia in 1984, and Krystal, born in 1985.
This joyful announcement comes just over a year after the family suffered the devastating loss of Toby Keith, who passed away at age 62 following a battle with stomach cancer. In the days following his father’s passing, Stelen shared a touching tribute on Instagram, posting a childhood photo with his dad and writing:
“You’re the strongest man I have ever known. A fighter. A true titan of your industry. My guiding star, my coach, my hero. It’s not goodbye forever, it’s just goodbye for now. I love you, cowboy.”
As the Covel family looks forward to welcoming a new generation, the memory of Toby Keith lives on — not only in the hearts of his fans but in the growing legacy of his family.
