Brantley Gilbert Is in Full-On Dad Mode, and the Picture Is Adorable
Brantley GilbertĀ isĀ known as one of the toughest guys in country music, but a teething baby can conquer even the coolest of daddies.
In a new photo, Gilbert looks like he recently surrendered.
āTeething baby got him like...,ā wrote Gilbertās wife Amber on her Instagram page on Sunday (July 15) alongside a pic of Gilbert collapsed in what appears to be a much-deserved nap. āBarrett Hardy finally had a tooth poke through and we have the bags under our eyes to prove it!"
Before you feel too sorry for him, however: "Letās be honest though. Brantleyās normally like this anyway," his wife wryly confesses.
It appears to be a teething saga over at the Gilbert house these days. Just a few days before, Amber mentioned their sonās questionable behavior in another Instagram post, alongside the hashtag #noteethyet.
āHappy 8 months to this little fern-destroying rugrat,ā she wrote alongside a pic of their little one pulling the leaves off a household plant. āHe loves to pull all the leaves off while Iām watering the other plants every morning.ā
But thatās okay, it's all worth it. Gilbert sounds like he couldnāt be happier being a daddy to baby Barrett, who was born last November. He enjoys singing to his son, which no doubt is an effective soother for sore gums/temperaments.
āHe seems to dig āJesus Loves Meā pretty good,ā Gilbert said in an interview earlier this year. āAnd I know thereās gonna be people reading this that go, āI cannot imagine that dude singing āJesus Loves Meā to a child. Thatās almost like a horror movie!ā I also gotta sing him a little bit of Skynyrd.ā
Whether the rest of the teeth come through quickly or not, it looks like Gilbert wonāt be getting much sleep anytime soon, anyway. He'll be heading back out on the road with none other than Kid Rock and Wheeler Walker, Jr., on Aug. 3 on the Red Blooded Rock 'n' Roll Redneck Extravaganza Tour.
