Fans React to Toby Keith’s New Granddaughter: “The Spitting Image of Her Grandpa” [PHOTOS]
The Covel family has a brand-new bundle of joy — and fans are convinced she already takes after her legendary grandfather, Toby Keith.
On August 15, Toby’s son Stelen Covel and his wife Haley welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Millie Brooks. The couple, who married in 2021, first shared the exciting pregnancy news back in February with ultrasound photos.

When Millie arrived, Stelen and Haley announced her birth on social media, posting a sweet picture of their newborn in the hospital. Her bassinet was decorated with pink bows and a banner proudly displaying her name. “Millie is here. We love you so much little girl,” they wrote.

Toby Keith passed away on February 5, 2024, following a long battle with stomach cancer. His loss is still deeply felt by family, friends, and millions of fans — making Millie’s arrival even more meaningful.
Most recently, Haley shared a photo on her Instagram Story showing Millie fast asleep in her arms while she leans in to kiss her on the cheek. Fans couldn’t help but point out the striking resemblance between the newborn and her famous grandfather.
