Jason Aldean, a prominent figure in country music, has celebrated significant milestones not just in his career, but also in his family life. He welcomed his daughter Keeley with his high school sweetheart, Jessica Ussery, in 2003, followed by another daughter, Kendyl, in 2007. The couple divorced in 2013.
In 2015, Aldean married Brittany Kerr, a former American Idol contestant. Their family grew with the birth of their son, Memphis, in 2017, and daughter, Navy, in 2019.
Reflecting on his journey, Aldean spoke with PEOPLE in November 2021 about balancing a thriving career with family responsibilities. "It feels good to know that for the last 16 years, I’ve had a chance to wake up and go do a job that I truly love to do," Aldean remarked. He further expressed that if he were to lose it all tomorrow, the well-being of his children would give him peace: "My kids are good. It’s been great. I got no regrets at all."
Aldean also acknowledged the challenges of touring, noting that he missed certain childhood milestones. "I don’t wanna say I’ve accomplished everything that I set out to do because I haven’t, but I’ve accomplished a lot more than what I thought I would. I got four beautiful kids. I got a beautiful wife and had a great career," he stated.
However, his rise to fame has not come without controversy. Recently, the release of his music video for "Try That In A Small Town" sparked criticism, with some claiming it romanticized gun violence. Following a temporary ban from Country Music Television’s video rotation, Aldean was invited to perform at the 2024 CMT Music Awards.
Here’s a closer look at Aldean’s children: Keeley, Kendyl, Memphis, and Navy.
