Garth Brooks is Grandfather, Welcomes Brand New Baby Girl Karalynn

Garth Brooks can now add ‘“grandfather” to his list of accomplishments. The singer welcomed into the world a brand new, baby girl named Karalynn.

Country music megastar Garth Brooks announced on Friday that his daughter gave birth to a baby girl last week. Now that his little girls are all grown up, the new grandfather is contemplating coming out of retirement.

Garth Brooks, one the most well known and highly decorated names in country music history has something else to be proud of. The 51-year-old became a grandfather for the first time when his second-oldest child, August Anne Brooks, 19, welcomed her first child Karalynn into the world last week.

Brooks' publicist released a statement on the singer/songwriter’s behalf, on Friday:

“Our family would first like to thank everyone for their warm wishes and sweet celebration of Baby K's arrival. Our children's lives have always been extremely private and they have been endlessly encouraged to be their own people. We have always wanted them to be individuals and not be known as 'someone's daughter."

Turns out his children didn't have to pretend Chris Gaines was there father in order to have a semi normal life. Brooks added:

'"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 good reason to be thankful for the quiet life. The pop-country musician is bigger than the Beatles...well sort of. Brooks sits atop the Recording Industry Association of America's best selling chart's--just below Elvis Presley and outselling The Beatles by nearly five million records.

He might not be finished there. Brooks who has been in state of semi retirement also announced that he may b e returning to music full time after his youngest Allie graduates from high school next year.

Congratulations to Garth and the girls.
