A new light shines in the Covel family.
Stelen Covel, son of the late country music legend Toby Keith, and his wife Haley have welcomed their first child—a baby girl named Millie Brooks Covel. The joyful news was shared via Instagram on Friday, August 15, with an outpouring of love from fans and friends alike.
The couple first revealed they were expecting back in February, sharing a sweet selfie—likely taken outside a clinic—where Haley proudly held up a sonogram. Subtly woven into the announcement was a tender nod to Stelen’s late father: he wore one of Toby’s signature pieces of clothing, with a glimpse of his father’s face peeking from an unzipped jacket. It was a quiet, heartfelt tribute to the man whose musical legacy lives on, now through yet another generation.
A Growing Legacy
Little Millie marks the fourth grandchild of Toby Keith, who passed away on February 5, 2024, after a courageous battle with stomach cancer. Toby already had three grandchildren through his daughters: Shelley, who has a son, and Krystal, who is a mother to two daughters.
The addition of baby Millie brings a renewed sense of joy to the family still mourning the loss of their patriarch—a bittersweet but beautiful continuation of life, love, and legacy.
