Jennifer Nettles son, Magnus, just turned three in December, and Jennifer laughs and says, “He is a ‘threenager’ for sure. There are moments where he can go from being completely happy and pleasant to all the sudden breaking down into a heap on the floor just because the dinosaur fell over. I mean, it’s pretty amazing to watch their little emotional synapses connect.”
The more of Magnus’ personality that develops and the more that Jennifer gets to know her son, the more she falls in love with him. She says, “Some people say, ‘Oh, I fell in love from the time I saw them.’ No, I didn’t. I felt instinctive and protective and completely nurturing, but I didn’t know him. He is his own person and the more I get to know him the more in love with him I absolutely am.”
As for Magnus’ personality, she says, “He is shy, he’s quiet until he really warms up and I can’t wait to see what he’s going to do in life. And definitely this far, especially with the drama, I can tell he’s passionate, so it’s a lot of fun.”
Jennifer just wrapped up the CMT Next Women of Country Tour, but she’ll continue touring through June, promoting her new album, Playing with Fire, which comes out on June 13th, and will feature her latest single, “Unlove You.”

Jennifer Nettles – raising a threenager (1:01)
“So, Magnus just turned three on December 6th and he is a ‘threenager’ for sure. There are moments where he can go from being completely happy and pleasant to all the sudden breaking down into a heap on the floor just because the dinosaur fell over. I mean, it’s pretty amazing to watch their little emotional synapses connect, and what fun for me as his mom to really start to get to know him as a personality. You know, some people say, ‘Oh, I fell in love from the time I saw them.’ No, I didn’t. I felt instinctive and protective and completely nurturing, but I didn’t know him. He is his own person and the more I get to know him the more in love with him I absolutely am. He is shy, he’s quiet until he really warms up and I can’t wait to see what he’s going to do in life. And definitely this far, especially with the drama, I can tell he’s passionate, so it’s a lot of fun.”
