From singalongs to tea parties to tractor rides and more, Jon Pardi has fully embraced life as a girl dad. In a new interview with Country Now and other outlets, the country star takes fans inside life at home, sharing what his two daughters Presley Fawn, 2, and Sienna Grace, 8 months, are most interested at the moment.

Before becoming a father himself, he believed that things like sitting down for a pretend tea party with his daughter was just a stereotypical activity for girl dads. However, it turns out it’s very much real and has even become a regular occurrence in his household.
“It’s freaking real. She got a little coffee cup tea type thing and she’s stirring around and she brings a little cup and she’s like, ‘it’s ready.’ That’s what she says. She doesn’t say tea but we drink a lot of coffee so…she’s got a little cup, a little spoon,” Pardi shared. “I had a full circle moment, like it is just a little girl thing. A little tea time thing.”
While Sienna enjoys her days sipping her “tea,” Pardi’s oldest daughter Presley is leaning into her passion for singing, following directly in her father’s footsteps. Unfortunately, he joked that his music doesn’t seem to be a huge hit at home as he “can’t get any of my songs in the tough catalog she’s got going on right now.”
“She wakes up singing and ‘Jesus loves me’…So she’s always singing. It makes her feel better. She wakes up in the morning and she starts singing.”
Pardi adds that Sienna also makes her voice known at just eight months old and often showcases what he describes as her “high pitch,” Mariah Carey inspired vocals. But more often than not, he tends to find her zooming around in her toy race car, showing off her adventurous side.
Meanwhile, Presley has taken a real interest in farm life and loves tagging along with her dad for tractor rides.
“It’s all sweet. They’re a lot of fun and they got a lot of personality and we do hang out quite a bit. Presley loves getting into the tractor. I promised her that when I get back today, we’re going to feed the cows and she rides with me in the tractor and we feed the cows. And so she loves all that stuff but she also loves her tea time and she loves to draw. And so the kids are very active in fun things.”
As their personalities continue to blossom the older they get, Pardi says he and his wife, Summer, are already seeing signs of who their girls might grow up to be.
“We think Sienna’s going to be a little more athlete and Presley is going to be more of a dancer singer, girl,” he shared.

Jon Pardi’s chaotic artist lifestyle doesn’t allow him a ton of down time, but when he does find himself at home, he makes sure to soak up every second with his family.
Starting a family has even started to bleed over into his career through heartfelt songs like “She Drives Away” and the unreleased track, “He Went to Work,” both of which are set to appear on his new album HONKYTONK HOLLYWOOD, dropping April 11.
Soon, the California native will be back to the demanding routine of touring with the launch of his 2025 headline tour named after his upcoming project. Beginning April 25, Pardi will take the stage of 16 arenas and amphitheaters across the US with support from Corey Kent on select dates and Kassi Ashton.
