(antiMusic) Clay Aiken isn't the only Idol runner-up to become a father recently. Maybe it was the timing of the Aiken news, but we received a press release about Daddy Bo early this morning, though the baby was born early last week. Nevertheless here is the announcement: Bo Bice (age 32) and wife Caroline (age 27) welcomed new baby Caleb James Bice on Tuesday, August 5th in Nashville, TN at 3:32pm. The baby boy was born a healthy 7 lbs 15 oz. at Centennial hospital.Bo has been on tour all over America this summer eagerly awaiting Caleb's arrival. With the new baby finally here, Bo will be taking some time with his family.
"It's a really awesome experience having a child." Says Bo. "With Aidan, it was all new and unexpected, uncharted territories. With Caleb, we are very excited about him coming and are prepared for certain things, but I'm sure he'll bring a whole new world we've never experienced, just like Aidan. The Lord has blessed us a lot."
The southern rocker and first runner up on American Idol is currently on the bill for the "Forty Years Ago Today" tour. Bo has been promoting his current album "See The Light" available exclusively through Wal-Mart or at BoBice.com Bo has also been working on the "Brothers of the Southland" album on which he sings two songs "These Dreams" (Molly Hatchet, Allman Brothers) and "Can't You See" (Marshall Tucker Band)
Bo enjoys being on the road and in the studio, but with the arrival of Caleb, Bo will be spending some quality time, for his family. Bo and Caroline wed back in 2005 and became parents that same year when their first son Aidan was born. The 2 year old Aidan is very excited about being a big brother for the first time. The family currently lives outside Nashville, TN, where Bo's Rock Hound Studio is located.
