Sammy Kershaw and his girlfriend Mendy Gregory are celebrating the birth of their daughter.

They have named her Natelia Mae. Sammy is 61 and his other children are all grown up, so needless to say he's pretty excited about the new baby. "She is a gift from God," Sammy said in an interview with People. "Natelia was my grandmother's name and Mae was Mendy's grandmother's name." He also feels like this is a second chance for him. "I guess the hardest thing that I've gone through with this business is I missed my children growing up because I was gone so much," he admitted. "I have great kids but I was gone all the time so I can't really take all of the credit for having great children."
