Dierks Bentley Baby Born — Country Singer’s Wife Gives Birth To A Boy

Dierks and Cassidy welcomed a baby boy named Knox who weighed in at 6 lbs., 12 oz. The pair have two daughters together: Jordan Catherine, 2½, and Evalyn Day, 5.

“Knox met his big sisters Thursday morning,” Bentley’s rep told People. “Cassidy is doing great!”

Dierks shared the exciting news himself on his Twitter page — while sharing a funny dedication to his wife:

The couple’s girls love doing “guy stuff” with their dad — and now they have a little brother to share their love of the outdoors with.

“They love going camping and fishing. I do a lot of that stuff with the girls anyway so it’ll just be an extension of that with a boy. I love being outdoors so I’m just looking forward to passing that on to the girls and our son,” Dierks told People when he found out his wife was expecting a son.
