“High Road” hitmaker Koe Wetzel is a dad. He and partner Bailey Fisher welcomed their first child, daughter Woods Madison Wetzel, on May 23.
Fisher initially shared the news with fans, posting a photo of the couple’s newborn daughter on Instagram and captioning it, “Woods Madison Wetzel, born May 23rd, 6:49 am, 5 pounds 11 ounces.”
Fisher also wrote in the caption, “My whole heart outside of my body.”
Wetzel also shared the news on his Instagram on Tuesday, May 27, with a photo of the singer with his daughter snuggled against his chest. “The most beautiful thing these eyes have ever seen,” he captioned the photo, adding, “The world is yours Woods Madison Wetzel.”
Fans previously speculated that the couple’s child was on its way when, hours before Wetzel was set to open the initial night of HARDY’s Jim Bob World Tour, Wetzel canceled his first three opening sets on the tour over the Memorial Day weekend, missing the shows May 22-24 in California and Nevada.
Wetzel shared a statement on Instagram at the time, telling fans, “Unfortunately due to a family medical event, I’ve got to get back to Texas. We hate to miss this first weekend of the JimBob World Tour with our brother HARDY, so make sure y’all show Stephen Wilson Jr. and McCoy Moore all the love. Hoping to get back out next week and party with y’all in Salt Lake City, Utah. Thanks for understanding. Much love and see you soon. – Koe.”
The next scheduled date on the Jim Bob World Tour is May 29 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Last year, Wetzel’s collaboration with Jessie Murph “High Road” spent five weeks at the top of Billboard‘s Country Airplay chart, while his album 9 Lives debuted in the top five on the Top Country Albums chart. Another track from the album, “Sweet Dreams,” also reached the top 10 on the Hot Country Songs chart.
