Josh Turner has realized several dreams, including having a recording contract, No. 1 songs and being able to sing for a living. However, one of his biggest dreams to come true is that of father.
“It’s something that I’ve always desired. It’s something I’ve always wanted. Jennifer [my wife] and I both have always wanted children, and having the children now and having them be a part of your life and knowing that I’m responsible for them and their life and teaching them things, just a lot of different aspects of life, great for me,” says Josh. “It’s very fulfilling.”
Josh is the father of four boys — Hampton, Colby, Marion and Hawke (who was born in September).
Josh is currently climbing the country charts with his latest single, “Lay Low,” which is from his forthcoming album, due out later this year.

“There’s a lot of great things about it to me. For me, it’s something that I’ve always desired. It’s something I’ve always wanted. Jennifer [my wife] and I both have always wanted children, and having the children now and having them be a part of your life and knowing that I’m responsible for them and their life and teaching them things, just a lot of different aspects of life, great for me. It’s very fulfilling. It’s hard to just be their father, because you want to be their friend and you want to do a lot of fun things with them, but I’ve realized that that’s not really my place. It’s my place to be their father and raise them up in the way that they should go. It’s true – they are our replacements and so, we have to just teach them about where they came from and where they’re headed.”
