Introduction
The video explores the personal life of country music star Dwight Yoakam, focusing on his relationship with Emily Joyce and the birth of their son. Dwight was born on October 23, 1956, in Pikeville, Kentucky, and raised in Columbus, Ohio, though he considers California the place where he truly came of age. His unique rockabilly sound was initially not embraced in Nashville, leading him to pursue his career on the West Coast.
Dwight began dating Emily Joyce in 2010. Emily, born on November 11, 1983, in Omaha, Nebraska, is a professional photographer with her own business. After a decade-long relationship, the couple married quietly in March 2020 in a private ceremony at Saint Monica Catholic Church in Santa Monica, California.
Later that year, on August 16, 2020, Dwight and Emily welcomed their son, Dalton Loren Yoakam. The video features a brief clip of Dalton dancing in his father’s studio in Bakersfield, California, a city closely tied to Dwight’s musical roots.
In addition to family life, Dwight continues his work in music and entertainment, including hosting his radio show, The Bakersfield Beat. The video invites fans to share their thoughts in the comments if they follow Dwight’s career.
Overall, the video highlights a more personal and family-oriented side of Dwight Yoakam, showcasing his long-term relationship, late-in-life fatherhood, and ongoing dedication to his musical legacy.
