Josh Turner Introduces His Third Son! (Photo)
33-year-old country music singer and actor Josh Turner recently introduced the world to his third son, 3-month-old Crawford Marion. They plan to call the new baby Marion.
Turner also has two other sons with his wife, Jennifer: 4-year-old Hampton Otis and 21-month-old Colby Lynch.
During an interview with People, Turner says of fatherhood: “Two was a lot of fun. Hampton was more of a learning experience … when Colby came along it was a lot of fun because it gave Hampton somebody to play with and it was interesting to see how they interact.”
“Now with Marion on board, it’s made it a lot busier for me because [wife] Jennifer trying to feed a newborn takes up a lot of her time and takes away from her sleep time too. We have friends who have up to nine children and they say three is the hardest number. I told Jennifer, ‘We’re either giving one away or having another one!’”
And Turner takes being a father very seriously. “Raising three boys is a huge responsibility for me, especially in this day and time when I look around and there’s a lack of good, strong, upstanding Christian men who are not afraid to be men and just own up to their responsibility.”
But even with three little guys running around, Turner and his wife still know the importance of maintaining their relationship. The two have been together since 2003, and when he’s on tour, Jennifer travels with him - playing keyboards and singing background vocals.
“We try to make time individually and time to be together as husband and wife. Even if we go away and talk about them the whole time we’re gone, we still realize that having that time to talk helps us to be better parents when we come back to the children…It’s something we have to make time for. We’ve seen a lot of parents let themselves go and not pay attention to what they need as people and as a couple. We definitely don’t want to fall into that trap.”
Smart couple! And congratulations to the fifth addition to the Turner brood!
