Kane Brown’s Children: Raising the Next Generation of Country Music

You know him best as the man behind monster hits such as “Heaven” and “What Ifs.” He's won multiple American Country Music Awards and was the first Black man to headline and sell out Fenway Park. But to Kingsley Rose, Kodi Jane, and Krewe Allen, Kane Brown is simply “Dad.” We shine a spotlight on how Kane balances fame with fatherhood and the impact his children are having on his career.

Kane could never have imagined how his life would change when Katelyn Jae attended one of his 2016 concerts. She went reluctantly on a mutual contact's insistence, and Kane couldn't take his eyes off her. They barely spoke that night, but Kane slid into her DMs and asked her out. Katelyn said she knew she would marry Kane on that first date. As his profile grew following the release of his self-titled debut album that year, the relationship with Katelyn helped anchor Kane. He proposed in 2017, and the pair married in a private ceremony on October 12, 2018.

They started a family quickly, with daughter Kingsley Rose arriving just over a year later on October 29, 2019. With the arrival of a second daughter, Kodi Jane, on December 30, 2021, Kane Brown's family continued to grow. On June 18, 2024, Katelyn gave birth to a son, Krewe Allen.

Kane, whose father was incarcerated in 1996, is determined to be the male role model for his children that he didn't have when growing up. While his mother, Tabatha Brown, tried her best, money was tight, and they spent some time living in a car. When she remarried, Kane's stepfather was physically abusive. This challenging upbringing inspired Kane to give his children the stability and constant fatherly presence his childhood lacked.

Despite his busy schedule, Kane prioritizes family time. When he's away from home, he videochats to stay connected with his family. “Six to seven FaceTimes a day — just talking to the babies, seeing what they're doing,” he said.

He also tries to bring his children on tour whenever possible. In January 2025, he told CMT that the whole family would accompany him on his upcoming American tour. While daunted by the prospect of spending 28 days on a small tour bus with the whole family, he was also excited about bringing Krewe on the road for the first time.

Kane's devotion to his family is evident when browsing his social media pages, which regularly feature photos and videos of his wife and kids. Posts show Kane and his family dressed up for Halloween, enjoying vacations at Disney World, and chilling out in the pool.

After being without his father from the age of three, Kane told CBS Mornings: "I just always knew that I was going to try to be there for her or him — we didn't know — but I was just always gonna try to be there. And I just always wanted to give them the life that — I know a lot of people say this — but I did want to give them the life that I never had."

This doesn't mean Kane wants to overindulge his children, though. When his daughter Kingsley turned 5 years old, Kane told her that an upcoming trip to Disney World would be her gift.

"Of course, she ended up getting presents. Not from me, though, I will say, not from me,” he clarified. “I don't want her to be spoiled, but she got presents."

Over the years, Kane Brown's daughters have shared many memorable moments with their dad. In 2024, Katelyn surprised her husband by bringing Kingsley on stage during the Nashville show. He was visibly shocked as he bent down to embrace his then 4-year-old little girl. The sight of Kane rocking his daughter while he sang “Thank God” with his pregnant wife was one fans won't forget.

Kane also loves to lead impromptu family dance parties. As he's posted videos of his girls boogying after eating all their breakfast and dinner, with Kane crouching down to match their height and scooping them up in his arms, these fun events seem to be a reward for finishing meals.

Becoming a father has had a profound influence on Kane's music. Days after Kingsley's birth, he released “For My Daughter,” a beautiful country ballad pledging his commitment to being a better father than his own. While he didn't write “Backseat Driver” from his 2025 album The High Road, his own experiences with inquisitive children helped him connect to the lyrics.

These songs have been well received by fans, who feel Kane's experiences as a father have added a greater depth to his music. “The love you have for your kids is one of your best qualities,” one fan commented on social media after Kane shared a teaser video for “Backseat Driver.” As his children grow, Kane plans to release more music inspired by family life. “I'll eventually release a dad record,” he told radio host Ben Earle.

Kane's close bond with his children ensures they have plenty of exposure to life in the country music industry. While Kingsley has shown she's already comfortable onstage, Kane said Kodi doesn't enjoy being in the spotlight. She does love singing and dancing, though, so perhaps her nerves will fade over time.

The kids have plenty of opportunities to explore music at home. "We're putting a studio in the house right now, so we're gonna put the babies to bed and just work on some music," Kane said in 2024. This space will allow Kane to share his love of music with his children without leaving their home.

As Kane and his wife Katelyn are both singers, they've most likely passed some musical talent on to their kids. Footage of the little ones stepping on stage, dancing at home, and enjoying life on tour shows they've inherited their parents' love of music. Only time will tell whether Kane Brown's kids will follow in their parents' footsteps and have a future in the country music industry.
