Morgan Wallen, 27, revealed he is a father.
Morgan shared the news via Instagram on July 13 with a photo of his newborn son, Indigo âIndieâ Wilder, who was born on July 10.
Indie Wilderâs mother, Katie Smith, shared the news of the babyâs birth on Instagram on July 11, noting that he weighed 6 lbs., 13oz.
âLittle Wilder, Iâm a changed man,â said Morgan on Instagram. âSince you came into the world Friday, I see mine differently now. Itâs not just me anymore, and Iâm glad itâs not. This year has been the hardest of my life in so many ways, but thatâs not what i will remember it by. You are. You are a gift and this tough year just made sense. Iâll be the Dad you deserve as well as the co-parent your mother deserves. Since you were born, I know that every decision I make will be with you in mind. I promise Iâll always protect you, and do my best to be an example of a good, godly man just like my daddy was for me.
âI knew this day was coming when I got to share this news with yâall. And Iâm glad that day is here. I didnât know what being a dad would feel like, honestly have been a little scared. But itâs the coolest damn feeling, and Iâm ready for whatever God has planned for me and my little guy. Heâs healthy and happy and while Iâm typing this Iâm getting in the truck to go hold him right now. Thank you for all the love and prayers. Thank you to my friends and family who have called and texted me letting me know how happy they are for me and that I have their support. I canât wait to see him hook into his first big one. Indie Wilder.â
Morgan has been turning heads with his music, mullet and more since bursting on the scene two years ago. The 27-year-old native of Sneedville, Tenn. (population 1,346) scored back-to-back-to-back No. 1 singles with âUp Downâ (June 2018), âWhiskey Glassesâ (June 2019) and âChasinâ Youâ (May 2020).
