Wife of country megastar Jason Aldean, Brittany Aldean, is going all-in alongside her husband when it comes to not being politically correct. And that should be music to our ears because the more folks with influence in popular culture who embrace this line of thinking, the more bold people become and follow suit. More freedom of speech, more people speaking truth, is a good thing for real, legitimate progress as a society.
The 36-year-old mother of two gave an exclusive interview to Fox News during a recent charity event held in Nashville, where she discussed embracing the lifestyle of being married to someone famous and being on the road together as a family and why she’s opted to ditch being “politically correct” with her fashion choices.
“Initially, when Jason and I got married, it was a whirlwind,” Brittany explained during the interview. “And it was also a little, I was shell-shocked. And I feel like now, 12 years later, it’s just another day in the life. And as a matter of fact, he’s so normal and so humble that he makes it easy. And there’s no grounding that I have to do.”
“I don’t have to keep him grounded. He’s such an amazing person just at home and in the daily life that we live,” she added. “So it’s actually pretty normal, to be honest with you. It’s just situations like this or like the award shows where you sit back and go, maybe this is a little bit of a different life, but it’s awesome.”
The couple got engaged in September 2014, one year after Jason divorced his first wife, Jessica Ussery. Jason and Brittany married in Mexico on March 21, 2015. They share two children:a son, Memphis, and a daughter, Navy. Jason is also a father to two daughters with Ussery: Keeley and Kendyl. As a blended family, Brittany said life on the road can be “difficult” at times given Jason’s work schedule, but they’ve learned to navigate quickly.
“Our life as a family, being on the road a lot can be very difficult. It’s actually a little bit easier now that our kids are a little bit older. But you know, now they’re being homeschooled and so it can be a little bit of an issue sometimes. But all in all, they’ve grown up on the road. And so, being out there… it’s pretty simple,” Brittany told Fox.
She then revealed that when the family is at home, she loves to watch her husband be a hands-on father, but appreciates being given an opportunity to have a little downtime.
“My takeaway from him being home? Sometimes I love it. Sometimes I’m like, ‘Don’t you have a tour date? Don’t you have somewhere to go?’ No, but I love having him around. It’s he’s helpful. He’s loving. He’s just a great asset to the household, obviously. And so having him around is phenomenal until it’s been like a couple of weeks, and I’m like, ‘OK, can you go somewhere? Play golf,'” she said, laughing.

Brittany tries to use the platform she has to do good work, including supporting charities and causes that are near and dear to her heart, including Muttnation & Lucky Break Rescue, Heroes and Horses, and Mustangs of America Foundation.
“It’s important for me to be here for many reasons,” Brittany told Fox News Digital at Boot Barn and Wonderwest’s charity event and fashion show on Nov. 18. “I mean, I love fashion. And then you mix that in with charity. I don’t feel like it gets much better than that. And I’m just happy to be here representing country music in a way, and fashion in kind of an influencing, you know, hybrid. And so I just feel I feel honored that I was invited today.”
“I think with fashion, honestly, it’s about how you feel and what makes you feel comfortable,” she explained concerning her not always politically correct fashion choices. “But I think it’s nice to find pieces that you can add that may not be politically correct, if you will. Maybe they don’t technically go together, but it makes you comfortable, and it’s a cool accessory or a nice purse or a hat…it’s just a nice, you know, addition to your outfit that sets you apart from other people. So I think you can do the cookie cutter role, or you could also go a million different other ways. So it makes it fun.”
