Later, in agreement with Miller’s desire to embrace motherhood, Rogers went on to do some soul-searching and eventually realized not agreeing to have kids would be unfair to his spouse.

In an interview with the Independent, the artist said,

“I also didn’t want her to wake up at 50 and me be dead and for her to have to say, ‘I wish I hadn’t married Kenny, I could have had kids.’ So we went for it, and when I was told it was twins, man, I was thrilled. So was Wanda. It wasn’t just ‘We are going to have a baby’ it was totally overwhelming.”

Besides, in the same interview, Kenny said it broke his heart when he realized that he might not be able to see his twin sons go to college. He said,

“Someone will be talking about his or her child going to college and it breaks my heart…  I knew I wouldn’t be there at the prime of their lives.”

Back in 2016, the greatest musician decided to stop to go on a musical tour in order to spend more time with his boys and wife Wanda.

Rogers said CMT:

I hope my fans understand that I’m a father first and a singer second… I’m missing some very great parts of my boys’ lives. I know as well as anybody else how that time gets away from you. And I don’t want to miss it. I just worry about how much longer I’m going to be here, and I want to have time to spend with them. It’s pretty simple.”
