The Late Kenny Rogers Had Five Children, Including Twin Sons Named Justin And Jordan
Country music legend Kenny Rogers retired from touring in 2017 to focus on his health and his family, including his twin sons, Justin and Jordan. Kenny had five children, with Justin and Jordan being his youngest, and the only children he shared with his fifth wife, Wanda Miller.
The twins, born in 2004, were only 13 years old when Kenny retired. They got the chance to spend a few more years with their dad before he passed away on March 20, 2020, at the age of 81.

Since Kenny’s passing, his team and his widow, Wanda, have occasionally updated fans on the twins’ lives. The boys graduated from high school in 2023 and were interviewed by PEOPLE that same year.
During the interview, Justin and Jordan shared some invaluable advice they received from their late father. Jordan was bullied as a young child, and Kenny offered some comforting words that Jordan still remembers today.
“I’d come home crying and my dad would say, ‘Just keep being yourself. You’re very funny,'” Jordan recalled. “Every day I still live up to that.”
Wanda Rogers also spoke to PEOPLE, telling them she sees “so much” of Kenny in their twin sons.
“I see so much of him in their mannerisms, how they stand with their hands in their pockets or behind their backs when they’re listening to something,” she said. “I always tell them, ‘That was your dad’s look.’ The older they get, the more they want to know about him. I hear them tell people, ‘My dad used to stand like that.’ It’s so sweet.”
Justin And Jordan Rogers Turn 21
Kenny’s twins celebrated their 21st birthday on July 6. His team shared a celebratory post on social media alongside a rare photo of the boys, which shows them smiling next to their delicious-looking birthday cakes.
“It’s virtually impossible to believe, but Kenny & Wanda’s wonderful young men, Justin & Jordan, celebrated the Big 21 yesterday!” the photo’s caption read. “Please join us in wishing them an incredible year and long, healthy, prosperous lives for decades to come!”
People couldn’t believe how grown-up the twins looked in their birthday photo. Their dad’s fans left lots of happy birthday wishes in the comments, such as:
“Happy Birthday! You look so much like your dad.”
“Congratulations, your father Kenny mentioned you two any time he had a chance during his shows. He was one of the greatest Country singers I had the pleasure of meeting.”
“So handsome both of you twins.”
“Happy Birthday. I hope that you have a great day.”
“Happy Happy Birthday!”
“Have the best 21st boys .. erm young men haha.”
“Happiest 21st birthday wishes!!”
