Dierks Bentley became a father of three on Wednesday (October 9th), as his wife Cassidy gave birth to son, Knox. He took to his Twitter account to announce the news, “Well…our boy knox is here! about to have the best tasting cold beer of my life! so proud of my wife. she rocked it.” In another post, he added, “mad respect for doctors, nurses and everyone at hospitals. can’t believe y’all do that day in and day out. hard work making miracles happen.”

Knox joins his two big sisters, five-ear-old Evie and two-year-old Jordan.

Dierks, who’s climbing the charts with “I Hold On,” is expected to perform in Lincoln, Nebraska tonight.

Dierks Bentley (3^rd child) OC: …boy’s game. :47
“It seems like just yesterday running in first gear, full-bore all the way, and now I’m here with a third kid on the way. It’s crazy, but it’s just life. It’s one of those things that you can’t structure or plan, and it’s incredible. I wouldn’t want it any other way. It definitely presents lots of challenges and it’s a totally different world. I was hanging out with the Florida Georgia Line boys recording some stuff, and I remember that life really well. I go on stage and the hour and a half I’m up there rocking and just the whole vibe of the guys on the road in general is a lot like that. But when I get home, it’s a totally different reality that I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world. Just hanging with my girls and doing the things we do and seeing life through their lives, it’s incredible. It takes a man to do it. It’s not a boy’s game.”
