Country singer Chris Stapleton has five children with his wife, Morgane Stapleton. The couple’s two oldest children are named Waylon and Ada Stapleton. His twin sons, Macon, and Samuel Stapleton then followed years later before the celebrity couple welcomed their youngest child, a son whose name is yet to become public knowledge, in 2019.
Chris Stapleton and his wife have mostly kept their kids away from the spotlight, and at the 2018 CMA Fest, he told the interviewer that life in the spotlight was what he signed up for and that his kids did not. He further stated that he wanted to give them a chance to be kids. Here’s what we know about them.
How Many Kids Does Chris Stapleton Have?
Chris Stapleton and his wife, Morgane Stapleton, met in 2003 while they were both working in a publishing house and still very much in the trenches of the country music scene in Nashville. Their relationship blossomed from friendship to romance while they were working together, and in 2007, they decided to make things even more official by agreeing to become husband and wife.
Throughout a union that has been more than a decade, The Stapletons have become parents to five children. For the most part, though, the Traveler crooner and his wife have insisted on keeping their kids Waylon, Ada, Macon, Samuel, and another unknown son away from the spotlight.
On a few rare occasions, the public and the media have caught a glimpse of these kids, but the singer has made it quite clear that he wants them to experience what being children feels like without the prying pressure that life in the spotlight can come with.
Waylon Stapleton Is Chris Stapleton’s Oldest Child
- Date of birth: 2009
- Age: 15 years old
- Occupation: Student
Chris Stapleton’s first child, a son he and his wife named Waylon Stapleton, was born in 2009, in Nashville, Tennessee, United States. His exact date of birth is yet to become public knowledge, but by all accounts, the celebrity child is around 15 years old.
Born Morgane Hayes on January 25, 1983, Waylon’s mom is also a country musician who has worked with his Dad since they became acquainted with each other in the early 2000s.
Despite his parents’ reluctance to expose him to the spotlight, Waylon, who was born a couple of years after his parents’ wedding, has made a few public appearances alongside his parents and sister.
He was photographed in a print short-sleeve button-down shirt, black pants, and sneakers alongside his sister and Dad in June 2019 at the Toy Story 4 premiere, and again at the March 2022 ACM Awards ceremony where he reacted ecstatically when his Dad was announced the winner of the Male Artiste of The Year Award.
Other than those appearances, Waylon has lived his life behind the scenes, and while not much information is available on how he conducts his affairs, one would assume that he is still in the process of acquiring a quality education.
Waylon has four younger siblings, all living with him and their parents in Nashville, Tennessee.
Ada Stapleton Is Chris Stapleton’s Only Daughter
- Date of birth: November 2010
- Age: 13 years old
- Occupation: Student
Ada Stapleton was born in November 2010, just about a year after her older brother Waylon was born. She is currently 54 years old, and she shares a few similarities to her older brother in the sense that the exact day of her birth has yet to become public knowledge.
Ada is Chris Stapleton’s only female child, and that inevitably grants her special status in her father’s eyes, considering that she has four brothers. Like her older sibling, Stapleton’s daughter lives her life away from the limelight, a decision her parents arrived at to protect her childhood experience.
Despite that, she has gotten a taste of living in the spotlight as she was present at the previous public events where her brother Waylon was pictured. At the 2019 event, she was pictured rocking a denim jacket over a floral print gown while she matched her brother’s suit-wearing outfit at the ACM Awards show in March 2022.
Ada, who is just a year younger than Waylon, is also most likely in the process of getting a standard American formal education, and only time will tell what will become of her afterward.
Chris Stapleton’s Twins Are Around 6 Years Old
After Waylon and Ada were born, Chris Stapleton and his wife projected the impression that they were done with having children but all that changed a few years before the singer’s 40th birthday.
The twins’ mother gave the public an inkling of what was to come when she revealed that she was pregnant with the twins while celebrating her 10th wedding anniversary.
Macon And Samuel Stapleton Were Born A Month Early
- Date of birth: April 2018
- Age: 6 years old
Macon and Samuel Stapleton, Chris Stapleton’s twin sons, were born in April 2018, at Centennial Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee. According to several close sources, Chris laughed for about 20 minutes after he and his wife were told that they would be having twins. According to the singer his laughter was prompted by the shocking news.
Another important aspect of Macon and Samuel’s birth that is not widely acknowledged is the fact that they were born a month earlier than their due date. The twins’ mother took to Instagram to inform the public of Macon and Samuel’s birth and acknowledged the incredible efforts of the medical personnel who took care of them while they stayed in the NICU of the hospital.
Chris and his wife have adopted the same strategy in raising their twins as they did with their two older children in the sense that the 6 year olds Macon and Samuel have been kept away from media and public scrutiny, as such, there is little information about what they are up to at the moment.
The Identity of Chris Stapleton’s Youngest Child Is Unknown
- Date of birth: May 2019
- Age: 5 years old
Chris Stapleton’s youngest child is a son whose identity including his name has been withheld from the public and the media. However, we have it on good authority that the singer and his wife welcomed their youngest child in May 2019, and he is currently 5 years old.
Like his older siblings, the youngest member of the Chris Stapleton family also lives his life away from the public and media view.
Chris Stapleton Has A Good Relationship With His Children
Chris Stapleton has a very close relationship with his children. While receiving his ACM Award in March 2022, he acknowledged their presence and thanked them for their support even in his usually long absences.
It was a gesture that was well received by them, and one could argue that the singer’s excellent relationship with his kids would continue for the foreseeable future.
