Trace Adkins: A Country Star, a Loving Father, and… a Quiet Grandfather of Three
While Trace Adkins is best known for his deep baritone voice, chart-topping country hits, and larger-than-life presence, few fans realize there’s another side to him: a quiet, family-focused man who’s already a grandfather – three times over.
His eldest daughter, Tarah Adkins, was born in 1983 from Trace’s first marriage to Barbara Lewis. Unlike many celebrity children who grow up in the limelight, Tarah chose a quieter life, one rooted in wellness, family, and sustainability. She currently resides in Tennessee, where she is married and raising three children – making Trace a proud (though very private) grandfather.
Rather than pursuing a career in music or entertainment, Tarah has found her passion in the world of non-toxic beauty. As an advocate for natural skincare and clean living, she’s built a small but loyal following on social media where she educates others about safe products and holistic health. Her work is rooted in integrity and concern for both people and the environment.
Despite their different paths, Tarah and her father remain close. While they rarely appear together in public, it’s been noted that Trace often speaks warmly of her in private circles. During holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas, the Adkins family gathers – and those who’ve seen them together say the country star lights up most around his grandchildren.
This lesser-known family bond gives fans a new perspective on the man behind the music. Trace Adkins, the chart-topping cowboy, is also a doting grandfather who proudly watches his daughter build a meaningful life away from fame.
In an industry often driven by spotlight and spectacle, Tarah Adkins is proof that strength and authenticity run deep in the Adkins family. She’s carved out a life of purpose – one that her father, and now three little ones, admire deeply.
