Cody Johnson + Wife Don't Agree on Parenting Strategies With Son

Cody Johnson and his wife welcomed their third child, and first son, Jaycee Daniel Johnson, back in October of 2025.

The couple already have two daughters, so they thought having a son would be a similar parenting experience and they both would continue agreeing on parenting philosophies. But, as the "'Till You Can't" singer hilariously tells me on Taste of Country Nights, that hasn't turned out to be the case.

In comparing their two parenting styles, Johnson said when his son cries he tells him, "Toughen up son, you'll be fine. Jesus, it's just a binky."

Whereas Johnson's wife, he says "is the exact opposite." She tells Johnson "'Don't be so mean to him.'" To which Johnson responds, "I'm like 'He's fine, he's grown already.'"

Let me remind you that the kid is not grown already. He is fresh out of the womb.

How Old Are Cody Johnson's Children?

Cody Johnson has 3 children, 2 daughters and a son. Clara Mae (10), Cori (8) and Jaycee (3 months.)

Johnson describes the love he has for his son as a "different kind of love" than the one he shares with his daughters.

"My girls, when they were little they would cry and I would be like. 'Oh come here baby, it's okay, it's okay,'" he says, complete with dramatic reenactment.

That is a far cry from telling his 3-month-old son to toughen up when he misses his binky. You can tell already that Johnson's son is going to be tough as nails, just like his daddy — a force to be reckoned with in the near future for sure.

30 Outlaw Country Songs That Define The Movement

With its roots in the '60s and the honky-tonk style forged by Hank Williams, outlaw country music began to snowball in the '70s as more and more artists bristled against the genre's commercialism, social conventions and the slick and shiny "Nashville Sound."

Though some artists like Johnny Paycheck and David Allan Coe had served jail time before their success, the "outlaw" label applied more broadly to those artists who rejected the status quo in Nashville. Many of the definitive songs of the movement speak directly to that rebellion, while others simply embody an artist-driven, independent musical vision that sidestepped Nashville's country hit formula of the day.

Keep reading for a round-up of 30 songs that define the outlaw country movement.
