Stelen is the youngest of Keith's three children with wife Tricia Lucus. The singer adopted Tricia’s first daughter, Shelley, 44, after the two wed in 1984. The pair then welcomed their first baby together, Krystal, 39, in September 1985. Stelen, their only son, was born in April 1997.

The couple's exciting announcement comes a little over a year after Keith died at age 62. He had been diagnosed with stomach cancer two-and-a-half years prior.

Shortly after his death was announced, Stelen penned a heartfelt tribute to his dad on Instagram.

"You are the strongest man I have ever known. A fighter. A true titan of your industry. My guiding star. My coach. My hero," he wrote alongside a photo of himself as a child and his father in a pool.

"An embodiment of the American Spirit," the post continued. "You are a man whose strength, prowess, and talent could only be trumped by his ability to be a father and husband. Your impact is forever stamped on the world and on millions of people, yet not one person knew you the way I did. You were my biggest champion and the guiding light in my darkest times. The best mentor a man could ask for."

At the end of his tribute, Stelen wrote, "It’s not goodbye forever; it’s just goodbye for now. I love you cowboy. 🤠 🤍."

Haley also shared a tribute to her late father-in-law with a photo of him walking her down the aisle at her wedding in November 2021.

"I'll never have the right words to say. Toby was larger than life at home and on stage. It's a complete honor to be his daughter-in-law," she wrote. "He took me in as his own and I'll be forever grateful for that. He touched the lives of so many and I'm blessed to be one of those."
