Surprise! Morgan Wallen is a daddy! TheVoice alum and his ex KT Smith welcomed Indigo “Indie” Wilder on Friday (July 10) in Nashville.

Wallen announced the birth of his son on Instagram, saying:

“Little Wilder, I’m a changed man. Since you came into the world Friday, I see mine differently now. It’s not just me anymore, and I’m glad it’s not,” Wallen captioned a photo of him holding the newborn.

The proud new dad added a heartfelt promise to his son. “I’ll 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 I’ll always protect you, and do my best to be an example of a good, godly man just like my daddy was for me.”

Little Wilder, I’m a changed man. Since you came into the world Friday, I see mine differently now. It’s not just me anymore, and I’m glad it’s not. This year has been the hardest of my life in so many ways, but that’s not what i will remember it by. You are. You are a gift and this tough year just made sense. I’ll 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 I’ll always protect you, and do my best to be an example of a good, godly man just like my daddy was for me. I knew this day was coming when I got to share this news with y’all. And I’m glad that day is here. I didn’t know what being a dad would feel like, honestly have been a little scared. But it’s the coolest damn feeling, and I’m ready for whatever God has planned for me and my little guy. He’s healthy and happy and while I’m typing this I’m 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 can’t wait to see him hook into his first big one.

Wallen’s ex-girlfriend also shared photos of the 6 lb. 15 oz. baby on social media. “When you pray for God to send someone who reciprocates your love for them – and he sends you the most perfect version of that…,” Smith wrote. “Yesterday was nothing short of complete bliss. Indie Wilder you are your mama’s answered prayer times infinity and the cutest little human ham hunk I’ve ever laid eyes on.”

 Morgan Wallen found country music success after competing on season 6 of The Voice in 2014. He was originally on Team Usher, but after losing a Battle Round was stolen by Adam Levine.
