Kane Brown is still getting used to life as a dad of three, and according to him, adding their first boy to the mix over a year ago has completely changed the dynamic at home.

The country star and his wife Katelyn Brown are parents to daughters Kingsley Rose, 6, and Kodi Jane, 4, as well as their youngest, son Krewe Allen, who will turn two this June. While he’s always been a proud girl dad, the singer admits there’s something about having a son that has unexpectedly softened him a bit as a dad.

When Audacy’s Katie Neal asked Brown what the biggest learning curve has been in going from an all-girl dad to having a son, he admits he’s unexpectedly found that he has a “soft spot” for his son.

“I thought that I was sweet on my girls, but there’s something about my little boy that I wanted to be tough, but I cannot get onto him.”

Still, he says Krewe has already shown that he will bring the “drama” if dad tries to discipline him.

“He’s about to be two, but if you get onto him and he thinks he did something wrong, his head just goes,” Brown says, showing his head looking to the ground. “And he drops down and he’ll just walk to a wall and put his forehead against the wall in the corner.”

Brown struggles to watch the sadness wash over his little one, often making him want to instantly pull him in for a hug and make things better. But whenever he does let his guard down and goes easy on Krewe, Katelyn is quick to call him out.

“Then Kate Just looks at me. She’s like, ‘That’s crazy.’ Because I discipline my daughters…she’s like, ‘You have such a soft spot for him.”

The Chattanooga native believes that connection might come from seeing himself in his son. Even though Krewe clearly has his sweet moments, Brown admits he can also unleash plenty of mayhem in an already chaotic household.

“Kodi and Krewe, those two are wrecking balls. Because Kodi doesn’t know if she wants to be the older sister or the baby. So she’ll bounce back and forth, and you never know which Kodi you’re going to get. And then Krewe is just, I mean, he’s just a straight, dude, just running around, smashing into things, hitting people…It’s so different having a boy.”

Meanwhile, his oldest daughter Kingsley has already started her lessons through homeschooling. The couple hired a teacher to come in and handle the daily lesson plans, but Brown will step in to help out with homework from time to time, especially when math is involved.

“We did homework in Florida because our teacher couldn’t come down there and we had to do it for a week. And just getting them to focus,” Brown said, insinuating how being a teacher, even to just one kid at a time, is no easy task. “I think bringing in a teacher makes that school atmosphere. So it’s not the parent.”

He added, “Good thing was I was really good at math. So anything Math, I love.”

Life looks a lot different for Kane and Katelyn Brown these days. When they first got married in Franklin, Tennessee, on Oct. 12, 2018, their home was likely much quieter than it is now, however it’s obvious the couple wouldn’t have it any other way. Katelyn also previously revealed on her Instagram stories they are done welcoming any more kids and content being a family of five.

At the time, she received a question from a fan asking if they will go for baby number four, to which she responded, “we are complete.”

Even with his busy home life, the “Miles On It” singer isn’t slowing down when it comes to his career. He is gearing up to release new music, is set to open his own bar downtown Nashville and has a packed scheduled of festival dates and performances on the books for 2026.

Meghan Patrick recently took some time between stops on her headlining The Golden Child Tour to spend time with adoptable puppies from Wags & Walks, and she opened up about her music, her fans, and her private life with husband, Mitchell Tenpenny.

On a beautiful spring day in Nashville, Patrick joined us for the Pupdate. A self-admitted dog lover, she was more than ready to get down on the floor and play with the trio of adorable Chihuahua mix puppies.

As the puppies frolicked around her, Patrick did her best not to get too distracted as she told us about the dogs she shares with her husband, including Cash, who was Mitchell’s dog before they met.

“He’s my adoptive son,” she laughed. “Much to Mitchell’s dismay kind of prefers me and mostly cuddles with me.”

Then there’s her dog, Annie. “She’s been with me through everything,” Patrick admitted.

At just 38 pounds, she said Annie would make a “perfect bus dog.”

“My biggest goal in life, honestly, of getting a bus is so that I can bring Annie with me… I actually wrote a song about it called ‘Bus for Annie.’ So buy my record so I can get a bus and take my dog on the road,” she laughed. 

Reflecting on her career, Patrick described the last couple of years as “pretty incredible” and credited not only her team but also her growing confidence for the trajectory her career is on.

“I feel like I’ve really stepped into my own and had the confidence to make the music that is authentic to me and that has the message that I want to put out there. And just kind of doing it unapologetically,” she declared. 

Patrick’s latest album Golden Child (and its deluxe version, The Final Chapter) found the singer/songwriter digging deeper than ever before and tackling subjects that may seem taboo for some, including domestic violence. But that honesty is exactly what helped fans connect to the project.

Of the album, Patrick shared, “It’s been bigger than anything I’ve ever released just in terms of the fan reactions and everything. It was a deeply personal album for me. It was very cathartic and healing for me to make that record. And it’s been amazing to see just how cathartic and healing it’s been for the fans too.”

She recalled a moment in her career when she began reflecting on the kind of music she truly wanted to make and what she wanted to say through her art, a realization that ultimately became a turning point.

“A few years ago, I kind of came to the realization that my goal with music was bigger than just making a career out of it. It was, okay, ‘what is my actual purpose here?’ And ‘what am I meant to do through my music?’ And I think that for me, I’m meant to help other people heal…And I try and do that by just sharing my own experiences and just making really honest music about some of the stuff that other people don’t want to talk about in music.”

Because of that, she has built a deep connection with her fans.

“The kind of fans that I’ve made because of this record are like really diehard fans because the music isn’t surface. So the relationship that I build with those fans isn’t surface either, which is really rewarding and fulfilling.”

She doesn’t take that relationship for granted, especially knowing how “cutthroat” the music industry can sometimes be.

“You get a lot of nos and you don’t always get recognized for your music. It feels like sometimes we’re more in the entertainment industry than the music industry,” she pointed out. “And unless you’re making headlines about something besides your music, then you kind of just get overlooked. But the fans, they’re the reason why I keep doing what I’m doing.”

As for her personal life, Patrick occasionally shares glimpses into her life at home with Tenpenny and the couple has walked red carpets together. However, she explained that they often choose to keep much of their relationship private.

“Mitchell and I, obviously both being artists, there’s plenty of opportunities for us to kind of use that, but…my marriage isn’t for sale. It’s not up for sacrifice and it’s very precious to me. It’s sacred to both of us,” she declared. “And so we keep our life fairly private. I mean, we share what we want to, and maybe we would get more attention if we shared more, but it’s not worth it to us. We have a really beautiful relationship and we want to protect it above all.”

Meghan Patrick is in the midst of her The Golden Child Tour and next week, she’ll make her way to Nashville to perform at Country Radio Seminar’s coveted New Faces of Country Music showcase.
