Jennifer Nettles son, Magnus, is three and a half, and he has been touring with her since he was born, and Jennifer wouldn’t have it any other way. She says, “I couldn’t do it without him. I couldn’t leave for the amount of time that I have to, to devote to my work, and leave him and not do it with him. So I am grateful that at this stage that I’m able to do that.”
Magnus will turn four in December, which means Jennifer will soon have to consider schooling options for him. She says, “As he gets bigger, then we will see where school is concerned between traditional and homeschooling, and how much I want to take him with me, and how I change my touring around what he needs, you know, too depending. We will see how it goes, but I am hopeful that I’m able to offer him something unique that will give him good life skills in this life.”
Jennifer just released her latest single, “Hey Heartbreak,” and she is also getting ready to release her new Christmas album, To Celebrate Christmas, on October 28th, which she’ll be supporting with three Christmas tour dates in early December. Visit JenniferNettles.com for more details.
