Canaan Smith and Wife Christy Welcome Baby Girl: “It’s Crazy How Much It Changes You”

Canaan Smith and wife Christy welcomed their first child—a baby girl named Virginia Rose Smith—on Oct. 31.

As Canaan told NCD on Nov. 12 during CMA Awards week, he’s having a “blast” as a new dad.

“I’ve got a brand-new baby girl in the house—I’m up all night,” said Canann to NCD. “She’s 12 days old. It’s awesome. It’s so much fun. It’s crazy how much it changes you instantaneously. I’m not getting any sleep, really. My wife is getting even less. I’m helping where I can, but it’s a blast. We’re having a great time.”

Canaan and Christy got married in August 2014. Congrats to the happy family.
