Hayes and his wife, whom he married in 2004, share daughters Lela, Loxley and Everly as well as sons Chapel, Baylor and Beckett.

In an interview with \"Good Morning America\" last April, Hayes opened up about putting his family first in the wake of his newfound success.

\"If I have to choose between family or fame, it's an easy choice for me,\" he said. \"Fame isn't that great and family is.\"

One way he prioritized his family was by deciding to bring his wife Laney and their kids with him from show to show so they can spend more time together.

\"My wife and kids aren't home alone being 'Walker's family,'\" Hayes said.
