As mentioned, Kenny Rogers was the dad of twin sons, who were born in 2004. Their names are Justin and Jordan, per the New York Times. The twins frequently appeared on the singer’s Instagram, whether a family dinner celebrating Rogers’ birthday last August or in a throwback picture for the boys’ own birthday. Rogers also shared a precious old photo on Mother’s Day of the twins as kids with him and their mother, Wanda Miller.
According to Heavy, Rogers married Janice Gordon from 1958 to 1960 and they share a daughter, Carole Billingsley. He married Jean Rogers from 1960-1963, although they had no kids together. When he married Margo Anderson from 1964 to 1976, they had a son named Kenny Jr. He and ex-wife Marianne Gordon, who were together from 1977-1993, had a son named Christopher.
Apparently Rogers felt he’d missed some pivotal moments during his older sons’ early years and didn’t want a repeat with the youngest. He told The Boot in 2013, “In my autobiography I talk about, there’s a fine line between being driven and being selfish, and I think I may have crossed that line a couple of times when I was younger. And I don’t wanna do that with the boys. I’m determined to be there and be a dad to them at all costs.” If his Instagram is any indication, Rogers followed through on that promise.
