Jake Owen Welcomes First Child And New Number One Hit In Same Week
Did you have a wonderful Thanksgiving? Jake Owen sure did!
On Thanksgiving Day, his wife Lacey Buchanan Owen gave birth to their daughter Olive Pearl Owen.
Owen didn't waste any time sharing the news on social media. Shortly after the birth, he posted that "Today is the greatest day of my life" and shared a picture of himself with his daughter (whom he called "Turkey Baby") on Twitter.

If Jake's week wasn’t already blessed, along with welcoming his daughter into the world, a few days later he had more reason to celebrate. His latest single “The One That Got Away” hit the top of the charts.
Didn't think my world could get any better.. Having a child and #1 song in the same week is something I'll never forget. THANK YOU ALL! Wow.
