Morgan Wallen Was Never The Same After Becoming A Dad To Son Indigo Wilder

May 2024 · 2 minute read

Morgan Wallen has one child, a little boy named Indigo Wilder. He was born on July 13, 2020. In May 2022, Morgan Wallen shared that becoming a father has helped him to become a better person. "I think mostly I can attribute it to being a dad," Wallen said about his journey with ET. "Just seeing that I have another life that I'm responsible for kind of put things into perspective for me, so, I just didn't really have a choice." Although Indigo was born months before Wallen's racial slur scandal, the singer shared a similar mindset when introducing the child to his 5.5 million followers. "Little Wilder, I'm a changed man," posted Wallen to Instagram in 2020. "Since you came into the world Friday, I see mine differently now. It's not just me anymore, and I'm glad it's not. This year has been the hardest of my life in so many ways, but that's not what I will remember it by. You are. You are a gift and this tough year just made sense." 

Given the timeline, Wallen was likely referring to his arrest that took place at Kid Rock's restaurant. According to AP News, Wallen was charged with disorderly conduct and public intoxication on May 24, 2020 — roughly two months before Indigo's birth.
