Do Jennifer Nettles and Justin Miller Have Kids?
In 2012, Jennifer and Justin welcomed their first child, son Magnus Hamilton Miller. The “Stuck Like Glue” singer later opened up about how motherhood changed everything about her life and career.
“After having become a mom, I think I was emboldened by the vulnerability it was to go through that life change,” Jennifer told Entertainment Tonight in 2016. “So, this record is bold in a lot of ways. I think I have a lot to say and different ways to connect with my fans, and with new fans, that I haven’t before. … There is not one aspect of my life that having a child did not change.”
As for how Magnus has had an impact on Jennifer’s music career, she noted that he goes “everywhere” with his mom, “which definitely slows somebody down in the airport, for sure, but it is so welcomed and he is a seasoned little gypsy baby-world traveler,” Jennifer joked during her interview.
“He has more sky miles at his age than I did before I was 30!” she added. “The tour bus is different, the amount of free time I have is different, but that’s the same with any working parent. Your life is completely changed.”
