Trace Adkins is the proud father of five daughters: Tarah, Sarah, Mackenzie, Brianna and Trinity.
The country singer shares Tarah and Sarah with his first wife, Barbara Lewis, whom he divorced in 1990. He welcomed Mackenzie, Brianna and Trinity with his third wife, Rhonda Forlaw, before they divorced in 2014 after 16 years of marriage.
Trace is a protective dad, as he revealed to Taste of Country in September 2022. “You’re in protected mode. I’ve talked to my girls a lot, I work as a security guard and I work as a pack mule,” he said of his daughters’ outings.
He added: “I go to the mall with them and carry the money and carry all the things they buy, and I double as a security guard.”
Here’s everything you need to know about Trace Adkins’ five children.
Tarah Adkins Webber
Tarah Adkins Webber is married to her husband David Webber. They have three children together: two sons and a daughter.
According to her biography on X (formerly known as Twitter), the family lives in Franklin, Tennessee. She is also said to be an “advocate for toxin-free beauty products” and previously worked with beauty company Beautycounter.
Sarah Adkins
Little is known about Sarah Adkins, as she chooses to stay out of the spotlight.
However, Trace shared with PEOPLE in 2022 that Sarah, Tarah and his third wife, Rhonda, conducted an intervention in 2001 that pushed him to overcome his alcohol addiction.
“I had a moment of clarity,” he said. “I know it sounds simple, but I just said, ‘Wow, I’ve got the world by the balls. All I have to do is stay sober.’ ”
Trace also said Country weekly in 2007 that he struggled with alcohol addiction during the childhood of his first two daughters.
“I feel so guilty about it and they know it and take full advantage of it. I very rarely say ‘no’ to them,” he said. “But I feel guilty that my older two girls don’t have a father like my three little ones do.”
He continued: “It’s not just about drinking and things like that, it’s also about age. I was a young man. I didn’t even know who I was yet. I was just still fumbling and groping my way in the dark, through this life, trying to figure out who I was and what I was doing.”

Mackenzie Adkins is the oldest daughter of Trace and Rhonda. She attended college at the University of Tennessee, where she majored in public relations. While there, she was president of her sorority, Kappa Kappa Gamma.
Mackenzie currently lives in Nashville, where she works for her mom Rhonda’s boutique entertainment consulting agency, Rhonda & Company. According to her LinkedIn, she works as the company’s head of public relations and director of social media content.
Mackenzie and her mom are partners in the Women’s Music Business Association, which is dedicated to advancing opportunities for women in the music business.
When he is not working, he likes to travel and attend concerts. She recently visited Denver, Chicago and Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Brianna Adkins
Brianna Adkins is the middle child of Trace and Rhonda’s three daughters.
She is a model and Trace shared on Twitter in April 2019 that Brianna signed with AMAX Army as a model and that he “couldn’t be more proud of her.” Her mom also shared photos of Brianna as a model on Instagram.
In 2011, Brianna received PETA’s Compassion Award for rescuing two puppies from a fire that destroyed their home, writes The Boot.
A neighbor tried to stop her, but she refused to be stopped, Trace said. “I told her, ‘I’m proud of you. I’m proud of you for the way you saved those puppies.’ ”
Brianna also has severe food allergies. At just 9 months old, she experienced a near fatal severe food allergic reaction after licking the lid of a peanut butter.
“It didn’t seem like there was any peanut butter on it, but the reaction was almost immediate,” Trace shared with The Red Book 2008. “She started to swell, to the point where she was almost unrecognizable … Just from the protein on the eyelid.”
He added that she is a “trumpet”.
“We’ve all had to change our diets to get around the things she’s allergic to – all the nuts, dairy and eggs,” he explained. “We rarely eat in restaurants because it’s too risky. It’s just how we live.”
