Jason Aldean's 4 Kids: All About Keeley, Kendyl, Navy and Memphis 

As Jason Aldean rose to fame in country music, he expanded his family.

The “Hicktown” singer had his first child Keeley in 2003 with his high school sweetheart-turned-first wife Jessica Ussery. The former couple had another daughter, Kendyl, in 2007 before splitting in 2013.

Two years later, Aldean married his ex american idol contestant Brittany Aldean, with whom he had his first son Memphis in 2017. Their daughter Navy joined the family two years later.

In November 2021, Aldean spoke with PEOPLE about making it to the top of the country charts while raising a family.

“It feels good to know that for the last 16 years I’ve had the opportunity to wake up and go do a job that I really love,” Aldean said. “If everything was gone tomorrow, I would say, ‘My kids are good. It was great.’ I have no regrets at all.”

Still, it wasn’t always easy raising a family while constantly on the road, and Aldean said he missed out on some childhood milestones due to his touring schedule.

“I don’t want to say I’ve accomplished everything I set out to do because I haven’t, but I’ve accomplished a lot more than I thought I would,” Aldean told PEOPLE. “I got four beautiful children. I got a wonderful wife and had a great career.”

As his children grew up and he became more famous, Aldean faced criticism for some of his songs and right-wing political opinions. In 2023, after he released the music video for his song “Try That In A Small Town,” critics said the lyrics and video romanticized gun violence and perpetuated racist stereotypes. After a brief ban from Country Music Television’s music video rotation, Aldean has been invited back to perform at the 2024 CMT Music Awards.

Here’s everything you need to know about Jason Aldean’s kids, Keeley, Kendyl, Memphis and Navy.

For his oldest child’s sweet 16, the “Big Green Tractor” singer posted a birthday tribute on Instagram. “As happy as I am to see her grow, I still think of her as that little girl who dances on stage, holds her microphone and pretends to be the star of the show,” he wrote in the caption. “I’m so proud of the person she’s turning into, and even more proud to be her dad.”

In 2016, after Aldean married his second wife, Brittany, the country musician opened up about Keeley’s personality and said that both of his older daughters were excited about the idea of ​​becoming big sisters.

“Keeley has always been a mother hen with babies type, so we’d have a built-in babysitter!” he told PEOPLE. “And Kendyl has always been a little sister, so if she was a big sister, I think she’d be pretty thrilled.”

Aldean joked in 2021 that he has one son in a family with three girls.

“I really feel sorry for Memphis, though,” he told PEOPLE, laughing. “It’s him and three sisters, so he doesn’t stand a chance. I never thought I’d have kids again at 40, but now I can’t imagine life without them. I was an only child… so having a big family was something I wasn’t really had, I love having them all there and just seeing them interact.”

Just over a year after the birth of Memphis, the couple had a baby girl.

“Today our family became complete as we welcomed our daughter Navy Rome into the world,” the country star announced on Instagram, sharing a photo of the newborn. “Born 2/4/19 weighing 7lbs 12oz and looks identical to her big brother.
