(AUDIO) BRANTLEY GILBERT WANTS HIS KIDS TO HAVE THEIR OWN IDENTITY

current single: “OVER WHEN WE’RE SOBER” featuring Ashley Cooke

If you look at Brantley Gilbert or his wife Amber’s social media, you will see pictures of their kids, but what you won’t see are their faces.  The couple is very careful to only post pictures of the kids from behind or with their faces strategically obscured. Brantley has no judgement about any of his peers who choose to openly post their kids on social media, but he explains why he and Amber have chosen to conceal their kids’ identities.
