Off The Record: Kenny Rogers, Proud Dad of Five

Country music legend Kenny Rogers was not only a beloved performer but also a devoted father.

Across five marriages, he raised five children, each marking a unique chapter in his life. He became a father for the first time in 1958 with daughter Carole, then had sons Kenny Jr. and Christopher in later marriages. After marrying Wanda Miller, Kenny welcomed twin sons, Jordan and Justin, at age 65. Though he once doubted becoming a parent again, he embraced fatherhood later in life with newfound joy and purpose. His children recall him as fun, loving, and deeply involved. Kenny eventually retired to spend quality time with his twins, valuing moments he missed with his older kids. Even after his passing in 2020, his legacy lives on through music, memories, and traditions with his children—especially their cherished “Super Saturdays.” Kenny Rogers was, above all, a father who never stopped growing in love.
