Thirty-one years ago today (March 24, 1984) was a happy day for Toby Keith. It was on this day that Keith wed Tricia Lucus, when he was just 22 years old.
The marriage made Keith a father to Shelley, Lucus’ daughter, who was born in 1980 and adopted by Keith after their nuptials. Together, they also had daughter, Krystal Keith, a singer-songwriter, and son, Stelen Keith Covel.
The couple met when Lucus (now Tricia Covel) was 19 and Keith was 20, at a club.
“He was just one of those larger-than-life guys, full of confidence,” she recalls to People magazine.
