Jon Pardi Opens Up About His Perspective On Life After Welcoming Baby No. 2

Jon Pardi shared how fatherhood has shifted his outlook on life after he and his wife welcomed Baby No. 2 earlier this month.

Pardi responded to questions from social media users on his Instagram story while he was on a flight on Sunday (July 28). The Grand Ole Opry star replied to one question wanting to know how “being a father changed (his) perspective on life,” writing: “They ain’t lying when they (say) it goes by fast. So I never forget that! Time is precious.”

Pardi said one of the tracks “will be a huge father daughter song!” He and his wife, Summer Pardi , are now parents to two young girls. They welcomed their firstborn child, daughter Presley Fawn Pardi , in February 2023. Baby No. 2, Sienna Grace Pardi , followed on Tuesday, July 16 . The Pardis have since shared a video of the moment Presley met her baby sister , and Summer shared Baby No. 2’s birth story on her due date. Pardi said it’s been a challenge to balance fatherhood with his career as a singer-songwriter, though “I look up to military people who spend so much time away from their families and love(d) ones and sacrifice [their] lives and times for the USA. So singing, writing and touring is a lot but that’s a good perspective for me to always keep in mind.”

Though he couldn’t reveal a release date yet, Pardi confirmed on another slide on his Instagram story that his forthcoming record will be titled Honkytonk Hollywood . The California-born country artist released his latest full-length country album, Mr. Saturday Night , in September 2022. The 14-track collection included the title track, “Fill ‘Er Up,” “Last Night Lonely,” “Your Heart Or Mine,” “Longneck Way To Go” with Midland and more. Pardi followed that album with a 12-track Christmas project last year. His next album will add to a growing list of career-spanning hits like “Dirt On My Boots,” “Head Over Boots,” “Heartache On The Dance Floor,” “Heartache Medication,” “Night Shift” and more.
