Revealed Truths About Kane Brown’s Parents, Siblings and How He Met His Wife Katelyn Jae

Kane Brown is an American singer from Chatanooga, Tennessee. He is the son of a White mother named Tabatha Brown and a mixed African-American and Cherokee father. The name of his father, who has been incarcerated since he was 3 years old, is not public knowledge.

Brown has two siblings: a younger half-sister called Heidi and a younger half-brother called CJ Cordell. He is married to singer Katelyn Jae. The duo were connected by a mutual friend in 2015, and they married two years later. They currently have two daughters.

Kane Brown Grew Up Without His Father By His Side

Kane Brown was born on October 21, 1993, and was raised in rural northwest Georgia and in the Chattanooga, Tennessee, area. Interestingly the singer did not grow up with his father by his side and the story behind this is quite mindblowing.

For a long time, Kane Brown never talked about his father publicly and fans of the singer were in the dark about what happened to the man. He, however, finally opened up in an interview with Pop Culture, revealing that he grew up without his father in his life. He explained that his father, a black American, was imprisoned in 1996 when he was just about 3 years old. The man has been in jail ever since.

Apparently, Kane Brown has never felt his father’s presence in a home setting since the man left home when he was so young. The absence of a father in his life as a child affected him for some time before he eventually got used to the idea.

Brown Is Now In Contact With His Father

Despite the fact that Kane Brown grew up without his father, this has not stopped him from finding out about the older man and being in contact with him. In his interview with Pop Culture, Brown revealed that he is in touch with his father and has visited the man in prison.

He also revealed that he found out his father is actually a drummer. Brown revealed that his father is very proud of his achievement as a singer and often brags about him. Brown has also joked that he would hire his dad as a drummer once the man is out of jail.

Unlike other people who develop hard feelings for their fathers if they do not take part in their lives from a young age, Kane Brown is actually cool with his dad and hopes he gets out of jail in time.

With His Father In Jail, Kane Brown Was Raised By His Mother

Kane Brown was born to a mother called Tabatha Brown whom he is very fond of today. After his father went to jail in 1996, the responsibility of raising him rested fully on his mother’s shoulders and she did her best in bringing him up.

Kane Brown’s childhood was not a very smooth one. With very limited resources, he and his family moved around a lot and were, sometimes, homeless. He lived in different places while growing up in northwest Georgia; the family first lived in Rossville then moved to Fort Oglethorpe and migrated to LaFayette before eventually settling down in Red Bank, Tennessee.

Because he was also moving around, Brown attended several schools while growing up. It is also noteworthy that at some point, after graduating from high school, he went to live with his grandmother, who also had a hand in raising him.

Brown’s Bond With His Mother Is Very Strong

Kane Brown and his mother are very close and he is especially very fond of the woman. Apparently, this is because of the way he was raised single-handedly by the woman as well as her guidance through the years.

Kane Brown has also taken time to make life better for his mother. In an interview on the Ty, Kelly and Chuck Show, the singer explained that he always helps his mother. He revealed that he bought her a car for her birthday and also got her a new apartment. He also paid her insurance for a full year and put her on his payroll.

It is apparent that Kane Brown has a very great relationship with his mother and is fully available to help her out in times of need.

 

Brown’s Sister Got Stabbed Multiple Times During A Fight

Kane Brown has a sister called Heidi Swafford. Very little is known about her but it appears the singer is also quite close to his sister and has maintained a close bond with her.

In July 2016, news emerged that Heidi Swafford had been stabbed multiple times during a fight. She was badly injured and was taken to a local hospital. The attacker was eventually arrested by the police.

In August that year, Brown told People that his sister was doing much better and was even texting him from her sickbed. It was evident that they were close.

Kane Brown Did Not Know He Was Biracial Until He Was 7 Or 8 Years Old

Having been born and raised in America, it is clear that Kane is an American man. However, it is also noteworthy that the singer is biracial. This is because his father is a black American who is also part Cherokee, while his mother is a white woman.

However, while growing up, Kane Brown did not know he was biracial. In an interview with People, Brown revealed that as a child, he actually thought he was fully white. This may have been because he never saw his black father around but only his white mother. He explained that he eventually got to know that he was biracial when he was about 7 or 8 years old.

Brown Suffered Racial Prejudice

At first, after finding out he was biracial, Kane Brown did not think it was a big deal at all until shortly after when he started suffering racial prejudice as a child. He told People, during the interview, that kids started calling him the N-word and this came across as very offensive.

It came to Kane Brown as a shock when he began attending middle school in Georgia and his peers started making fun of him for his skin color. The whole thing became really disturbing to him when he found out the meaning of the N-word and he started attacking those who referred to him with it. Because of this, he often got into fights.

Brown revealed that as time went on, he eventually developed some thick skin and got over the name-calling. He also started channeling his troubles into making music and he was able to live his life normally again.
