Fans didn’t know it at the time, but Toby was diagnosed with stomach cancer shortly before the wedding. He went public with his diagnosis a few months later and sadly passed away on February 5, 2024.
In addition to being a country music superstar, Toby Keith was a husband and father. He married Tricia Lucus in 1984 and adopted her daughter, Shelley, that same year.
Toby and Tricia welcomed another daughter, Krystal, in 1985. She has followed in her father’s musical footsteps and is known for her song “Daddy Dance with Me.”
12 years after Krystal was born, Toby and Tricia welcomed their only son, Stelen.

Toby went by his stage name, Toby Keith, when he performed. But his legal last name was “Covel,” which is the last name Stelen carries. It’s also the name his wife, Haley, has taken as her own.
Stelen and Haley were together for years before they said, “I do.” Stelen first shared a photo on social media with Haley in 2015.

Toby Keith Walked His Daughter-In-Law Down The Aisle When She Married His Son
Toby walked Haley down the aisle at the wedding. During an appearance on Audacy’s Katie & Company in December 2023, he shared how worried he was when he received his cancer diagnosis shortly before Stelen and Haley’s big day.
“And my son was getting married, and his wife didn’t have a father. And she asked my son, Stelen, if I’d walk her down the aisle. I said ‘sure.’ And now Iâm a month away from that, and I’m thinking âI might not even make it that far.’ I didnât know, you know? When you get diagnosed, you just freak.”
But Toby fulfilled his promise and walked Haley down the aisle before she and Stelen said their vows. After he passed away, Haley shared a photo of Toby walking her down the aisle and said:
“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. He took me in as his own and I’ll forever be grateful for that. He touched the lives of so many and I’m blessed to be one of those.”
