They wish their child to have something close to the wild streak of his fictional namesake. William Huckleberry Paisley, or Huck as fondly called, is growing up in Tennessee alongside his younger brother, Jasper Warren Paisley. Huck is currently a high school student.

Kim and Brad Were Married When They Had Huck
Brad Paisley got married to his wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, in 2003. The couple had already lived four years as husband and wife before they welcomed their first son, William Huckleberry Paisley.
The couple’s union is quite unlike the normal celebrity marriage that does not last long as it has withstood the test of time and is slowly inching towards its second decade.

Is William Huckleberry Paisley Showing Signs of Following in His Father’s Footsteps?
At 17, William Huckleberry Paisley is very young, and there is no denying that the young man has his whole life before him.

Perhaps his interest lies in the direction of his mother’s profession, but time, as they say, will tell.
Brad and Kim are Training William Huckleberry Paisley and his Brother to Grow Up Normal
Most celebrities would resort to over-pampering their kids, but not Kim and Brad, who pride themselves on keeping a home as normal as possible. The celeb duo deliberately keeps the boys away from too much publicity; Brad bluntly refused to even bring them to his performances like the 2017 CMA Fest that was hosted close by in Nashville.
The father of two sees exposing young children to a lot of public attention as abnormal. Brad and Kim do not just make efforts to keep their boys protected from public scrutiny; they also try to teach them to be kind and humble.
According to the country musician, kids may not likely embrace such virtues as kindness and humility immediately; thus, a conscious effort must be made to imbibe them from an impressionable age, and from what he is seeing, Huck and Jasper are doing just fine.
The proud parents also monitor their children’s daily activities, and according to them, they restrict the boys from too much television time within the week. The family TV rule for the Paisleys says weekends should be enough for all the screen time they would need. During the week, the boys can do a lot of other interesting things apart from sitting down to watch TV.
William Huckleberry Paisley and his brother, Jasper, are growing up without a nanny. It is only them and their parents in their Franklin, Tennessee-based log house. Kim and Brad are committed to bringing up well-behaved kids, and spoiling them is entirely out of the question.
For the members of the Paisley family, there is a purpose for everything in life, and whatever you get must be earned. Huck and his younger brother, Jasper, even share a lot of things such as a room, bathroom, and toys; this, the parents said, is a good way of instilling humility from a tender age.
