Toby Keith’s Son & Daughter-In-Law Share Photos From Blissful Baby Shower
Toby Keith’s Son, Stelen Covel, Is Expecting His First Child With Wife Haley
Toby Keith‘s son, Stelen, and daughter-in-law, Haley, recently celebrated the upcoming arrival of their first child during a fun and floral baby shower.
Stelen and Haley married in a stunning ceremony outside Las Vegas in 2021. Toby had been diagnosed with stomach cancer shortly before the ceremony, and was scared he’d miss it, especially since he agreed to walk Haley down the aisle.
“…my son was getting married, and his wife didn’t have a father,” Toby recalled in an interview with Audacy. “And she asked my son, Stelen, if I’d walk her down the aisle. I said ‘sure.’ And now I’m a month away from that, and I’m thinking ‘I might not even make it that far.’ I didn’t know, you know? When you get diagnosed, you just freak.”
But Toby made it to walk Haley down the aisle as promised. It’s a memory she treasures even more now since Toby passed away on February 5, 2024.
“Toby was larger than life at home and on stage,” she wrote in a tribute to her father-in-law after his passing. “It’s a complete honor to be his daughter-in-law. He took me in as his own and I’ll forever be grateful for that. He touched the lives of so many and I’m blessed to be one of those.”

Toby had three children with his wife, Tricia, and several grandchildren. His daughter, Krystal, said he was a devoted grandfather, and it’s “hard to find a candid picture where he doesn’t have one of our babies in his arms.”
Soon, the Covel family will have another baby to hold, because Stelen and Haley are expecting their first child. They announced their pregnancy on February 13. Stelen wore a Toby Keith t-shirt in their announcement photo.
“Baby Covel coming this summer,” they shared.

Stelen And Haley Covel Celebrate With Loved Ones At Beautiful Baby Shower
As Baby Covel’s due date approaches, Stelen and Haley recently celebrated with their loved ones during a blissful baby shower. They shared several pictures from the gathering, which was decorated with flowers in vibrant summer colors.
Stelen and Haley have remained relatively low-key since announcing their pregnancy, and hadn’t publicly shared their baby’s gender. But now we know they’re expecting a baby girl!
Someone who attended the Covels’ baby shower shared a picture with the caption, “We can’t wait to meet you baby girl Covel.” Haley re-shared that image on her Instagram Story.
Glittery pink cowgirl-themed cookies were on display at the shower, and many of the decorations were in shades of pink or peach. Haley wore a beautiful red dress with a floral pattern and posed for pictures with Stelen, his sisters, and other party guests.
The shower pictures were taken by photographer Katie Hass, who also photographed the Covels’ 2021 wedding. See all of the photos in the slideshow below!
We’re sure Toby was smiling down on his son and Haley during their baby shower…
