• Toby Keith revealed in 2021 that he was diagnosed with stomach cancer.
• The father of three is married to Tricia Lucus, and his family has supported him.
• Toby also has the support of his fans, who stood up for him when he received a harsh comment in a new video.

Country music singer Toby Keith is married to Tricia Lucus. The couple are parents to Krystal, Stelen, and Shelley. Tricia was already a mom to Shelley before she and Toby got married. The mom of three welcomed Shelley from a previous relationship.

Toby adopted Shelley and is raising her as his own. The dad of three values his kids. The romance and love between him and his wife are also intense. The couple support each other and have helped one another get through challenging times.

Tricia speaks positively of her husband. She previously said everyone thinks Toby is the most romantic person on the planet. She added that he buys her flowers, but mostly, she asks him to save the money as roses die in five to seven days and instead buy her an outfit or take her to dinner.

Family is the main focus for the Oklahoma-born singer-songwriter. Toby can also always count on his family for support. In June 2022, he announced that he had been diagnosed with stomach cancer in the fall of 2021. He added that he had spent the previous six months receiving chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery.

Toby said everything was good so far and that he was taking time to breathe, recover, and relax. The singer took the chance to spend time with his family and promised to reconnect with his fans sooner than later. Toby's son, Stelen, and his wife, Haley, took to Instagram to ask their fans to pray for their dad as he battles cancer.

Fans defended Toby from this troll, calling the online user's statement "Heartless."

The singer, who is also a grandfather, recently gave an update on his stomach cancer diagnosis. Toby, who received the Country Icon Award at the People's Choice Country Awards, said he was feeling pretty good. The 62-year-old has good and bad days as he battles stomach cancer, but he generally manages to keep his spirits up.

Upon receiving his award, Toby's daughter Krystal took to Instagram to praise her dad for his prowess in songwriting and singing. Krystal said her dad was her music icon and that she was glad he was finally getting recognition for his work. "I could not be more proud and in awe of him ❤️❤️❤️," she wrote.

Toby, who recently celebrated his 39th wedding anniversary with his wife, has the support and love of his family as well as his fans. His fans stood up for him against an online troller who pointed out how his appearance has changed.

Toby's Change in Appearance and Fans' Support

Toby's battle with stomach cancer diagnosis has greatly altered his appearance. The once larger man has been replaced with a much slimmer version. The loss of weight is evident in the actor's face as his cheeks are barely what they used to look like.

The singer recently shared a new video of himself, where his body changes are evident. An online user commented on the video, asking him to "Gain some weight." Fans defended Toby from this troll, calling the online user's statement "Heartless." "Telling K to gain weight is heartless, are you serious," another fan agreed.

The "Should've Been a Cowboy" singer's fans pointed out that he has stomach cancer, so he would not be able to gain weight even if he wanted to. "He's fighting for his life not your weight approval," a fan wrote.

Other fans flooded the comment section, wishing Toby a quick recovery and sending him love and prayers. "Love you, Toby, I always love always will. Keep fighting the good fight," a fan told the singer.

Toby took time off work when he revealed he was battling stomach cancer. Now, the singer has said he is ready to go back to entertaining his fans in live concerts even as he continues fighting stomach cancer. Toby is still vibrant and holding out hope, thanks to his family and fans' support.
