Garth Brooks Becomes a Grandfather
Congratulations to Garth Brooks and family! The superstar’s daughter August welcomed a daughter, Karalynn, into the world earlier this week.
Brooks wanted to thank fans “for their warm wishes and sweet celebration of Baby K’s arrival” (quote via PEOPLE).
“Our children’s lives have always been extremely private and they have been endlessly encouraged to be their own people,” he continued in a statement. “We have always wanted them to be individuals and not be known as ‘someone’s daughters.’
“I have been amazed and grateful how the press has always respected this. I now ask that respect to please continue as this young family begins the greatest days of their lives.”
Brooks has been on semi-retirement to help raise his daughters in Oklahoma, however, the singer is considering a full-time return to music once his youngest daughter graduates high school next year.
Karalynn is the first grandchild for Brooks.
