Russell Dickerson Talks Baby No. 3 and Plans To Take His First Break in 12 Years

Russell Dickerson and his wife, Kailey, are getting closer and closer to welcoming a new addition to their family, and this time, they’ll be adding a baby girl to the mix. The country star teased that they are already working on choosing a name for their first daughter and revealed how their boys are feeling about becoming big brothers very soon.  

Just a few days ago, the couple took to social media to share their official gender reveal, capturing the shocking moment they learned they would be having a girl next month. They were initially speechless when they opened their eyes to see a room decked out in pink balloons, blankets, toys and dresses.

Kailey instantly asked, “what do we do with one of those?”

“I’m shooketh,” added Dickerson.

Following the announcement, the “Happen To Me” singer served as a co-host on the Country Countdown USA with Lon Helton, where he shared a further look into this new chapter of his life.

When asked if he plans to continue the trend in their household and give their daughter a name that starts with an “R,” just as they did with their sons Remingron, 6, and Radford, 3, Dickerson explained they may be ready to switch things up.

“I don’t know if we’ll keep doing the initial thing. We’ve got Remy and Rad.  I think that’s enough. We’re not gonna be the whole R kid family type of thing.  We’ll just pick one at random. God has selected a gender, and we’ve selected a name,” he shared.

The couple welcomed Remington in September of 2020 and Radford in October of 2023. Since they are both still young, they haven’t quite been able to wrap their heads around what it means to have a sibling on the way.

“They know she’s gonna have a baby, but they don’t know what it means. Rad has a doll where he can pretend he’s holding the baby.  But he wonders why we can’t have the baby now. Why do we have to wait? As much as they can, they know what’s coming, but I think it’s gonna rock their world.”

While Dickerson hasn’t ruled out having even more children in the future, he joked that they aren’t necessarily planning to match his fellow country star Thomas Rhett, who shares five kids with his wife, Lauren. For now, he feels that four could be a good number for them to manage, but he’d be happy to welcome another little one if it’s meant to be.

“Four seems feasible, and if we had a whoopsie daisy five…I’ve never met anyone who says they wish they had less kids. They always want more.  I believe that. I see us all gathered around the kitchen table when they have spouses,” he shared honestly.

For now, the couple is focused on raising their two boys and getting ready to welcome their third child. At the same time, they have been building their dream house for over two years and are hoping to officially move in before their baby girl arrives.

“It started as a renovation and then…our builder recommended we just scrap it, So that’s been a whole new process, and that’s why it’s taken so long.”

Russell Dickerson has been hitting the ground hard and nonstop to build his career over the past 12 years, but now that his personal life is getting busier, he feels it’s the right time to slow things down for a little while. He plans to finish up his next album by the end of the year and then take his first break in over a decade in order to enjoy some true family time.

“Now, having this baby, we’re going to take some time off, until maybe around May. We’re gonna shut it down,” he shared.

The country star has just a few more dates before officially wrapping up his tour dates for 2026. According to his official website, he will resume with a few dates in the spring, followed by a run of festival appearances in August.
