The country music superstar acknowledged in a statement Friday the birth of his first grandchild, Karalynn, who was born to his daughter August earlier this week.
The 51-year-old "Friends in Low Places" singer says he'd like to thank everyone "for their warm wishes and sweet celebration of Baby K's arrival."

August was the second to graduate from high school and Brooks says he's considering a full-time return to recording and performing when his youngest, Allie, graduates from high school next year.

"Our children's lives have always been extremely private and they have been endlessly encouraged to be their own people," he said in the statement. "We have always wanted them to be individuals and not be known as
'someone's daughters.
