Love & Theft star Stephen Barker Liles a new dad

Country star Stephen Barker Liles is a new dad after his fiancee Jenna Kennedy gave birth to the couple's first son on Monday (02Dec13).

The Love & Theft star’s newborn, Jett, arrived a day ahead of schedule and Liles has poured out his feelings to Country Weekly magazine.

He says, "It was the greatest rush I have ever experienced. Jenna and I are so thrilled to be parents. It's the best thing that has happened to us.

"Jenna was awesome, calm and collected. We checked in, stayed up all night and watched (sports news show) SportsCenter and Friends and listened to Mozart. We can't wait to take him home and for the whole world to meet him!"

Little Jett, who was born at a Nashville, Tennessee hospital, is the second Love & Theft baby of the year - Liles' bandmate Eric Gunderson and his wife Emily welcomed their first child, Camden William, in March (13).

The new parents are set to wed next year (14).
