Brad Paisley's Children: Meet His 2 Sons, Huck And Jasper

Country star Brad Paisley has spent more than 25 years writing songs about trucks, fishing and small-town love, and at home he’s a dad of two boys. He and his wife, actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley, have two sons: William “Huck” Huckleberry Paisley, born in 2007, and Jasper Warren Paisley, born in 2009. The couple share very little about them online, and in the rare family photos they post, the boys’ faces stay hidden, according to Taste of Country.

Brad Paisley has two children, and both are sons with Kimberly. Huck is 19 and in college, while Jasper is 17. Here’s a quick look at both boys.

William “Huck” Huckleberry Paisley (Born 2007)

Huck was born on February 22, 2007, in Nashville, Tennessee. He’s the couple’s first child, and CMT reported that he was named after Mark Twain’s Huck Finn. Brad later told People that before Huck arrived, he wondered how a “free spirit” like him would give that life up. Fatherhood changed his view fast. “Having Huck has taught me the importance of quality time,” he said, at a time when he was touring three days a week.

As a small boy, Huck was full of energy. “He’s not a laid-back kid. He’s a go-getter. He’s ready to go when he gets up,” Brad said when Huck was two, describing him as “very animated, fiery and dramatic.” Brad also shared his favourite question from those years, when Huck asked his mother, “Mommy, does Jesus play the banjo?”

Huck has also been a tough music critic at home. Brad told Billboard in 2014 that “Huck and Jasper are great critics.” When Huck first heard a rough demo of “River Bank” in the kitchen, he asked, “What is that?” and said it didn’t sound like his dad. He meant it as a compliment, and Brad said that’s when he knew the song was good.

One of the sweetest family stories involves a former president. Speaking on TODAY in 2025, Kimberly recalled a lunch with the Bush family in Kennebunkport, Maine, when the boys were four and two. She was nervous they would misbehave, and then one of them started pulling funny faces at the table. “I turn and look at the president, and he’s [making faces back],” she said. “They had this really special connection.”

Huck Goes to College

Huck left home for college in August 2025. To mark the day, Kimberly shared on Instagram a note he wrote her on September 22, 2014, when he was seven. It read “Com visit me in calij” and ended with “You promes,” Taste of Country reported. The family has not named his school.

Huck isn’t heading into country music or acting. In a joint interview with Parade in 2025, his parents said he’s “really interested in visual art and storytelling” and has “written a bunch of plays.” He also plays the piano, and Kimberly posted a photo of him at the keys in May 2019. On his 15th birthday in 2022, she praised his “brave and kind” heart on Instagram.

Jasper Warren Paisley (Born 2009)

Jasper was born on April 17, 2009, weighing 9 pounds, 10 ounces after arriving 12 days late, People reported. His first name came from a dream. “My wife had a dream that we had a little boy and named him Jasper, so we named him Jasper. That’s the only reason,” Brad said. His middle name, Warren, honours Brad’s grandfather Warren Jarvis, who gave Brad his first guitar when he was eight.

Jasper is the family’s animal lover. For his 13th birthday in 2022, Kimberly described him on Instagram as “wise and patient beyond his years, dryly funny and passionate about good things.” She added that one of his gifts was a bug trap, so he could catch insects in the house and take them outside instead of killing them.

His love for animals once turned Brad into a fish doctor. When one of Jasper’s pufferfish stopped eating because its beak-like teeth had grown too long, Brad sedated the fish and clipped them himself. “They’ve got like a beak, and I clipped it and thought I killed him, but he made it!” Brad told People.

Jasper and “Truck Still Works”

Jasper also has a sharp ear for his dad’s music. In 2024, Brad played him the new single “Truck Still Works,” and Jasper asked if his father had written the sequel to the 2003 hit “Mud on the Tires” while he was away at camp. He called the song a banger and suggested naming the tour after it, Brad told Holler. Brad did just that, and the Truck Still Works World Tour opened on May 21, 2025. Brad said it was great to see his son acting like a fan.

When Huck left for college, Brad joked to Parade that Jasper was “looking forward to having the house to himself.” Jasper turned 17 in April 2026.

Brad Paisley’s Wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley

Kimberly Williams-Paisley is the boys’ mother and Brad’s wife of more than 23 years. She was born on September 14, 1971, in Rye, New York, and is best known as Annie Banks in Father of the Bride (1991), where she played the daughter of Steve Martin and the late Diane Keaton. She later starred as Dana in According to Jim and joined 9-1-1: Nashville as Cammie Raleigh in 2025.

Brad first saw her in Father of the Bride years before they met. He cast her in his music video for “I’m Gonna Miss Her (The Fishin’ Song),” and the two began dating in 2001. They married on March 15, 2003, at Stauffer Chapel on the Pepperdine University campus in Malibu, California.

Family Life

Brad and Kimberly raise their sons in Tennessee and keep them out of the spotlight on purpose. The couple have said they want to bring the boys up to be humble and kind. Brad once put it simply to Fox News: parents have to teach those values, because kids won’t pick them up on their own.

The boys stepped up when their mother needed them. Kimberly lost much of her voice in 2022, and it took about two years to recover. “My kids were great cheerleaders for me,” she told People in 2024. She said they would fetch people at events when she couldn’t call out to them herself.

The family has also faced a hard loss. Their former home in Pacific Palisades, California, the first house the couple bought together, burned in the January 2025 wildfires. Brad kept working through it, releasing the holiday album Snow Globe Town in November 2025 and Tacklebox (Disc 1) in July 2026, followed by his Brad Paisley Live tour that August.
