Kenny Rogers would be so proud of his twin sons, Justin and Jordan, if he could see them today.
Kenny was married five times and had five children. He shared Justin and Jordan with his fifth wife, Wanda Rogers, to whom he was married from June 1, 1997, until his death on March 20, 2020.
Kenny retired from touring in 2017 to focus on his health and to spend more time with his family, including Justin and Jordan, who were only 13 at the time. They were just a few months shy of turning 16 when their dad passed away in 2020.

Following Kenny’s passing, his widow, Wanda, has kept fans informed about major milestones in their sons’ lives. When Justin and Jordan graduated from high school in 2023, Wanda told PEOPLE she sees “so much” of Kenny in both boys.
“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.”
More recently, Wanda celebrated Justin and Jordan’s 22nd birthday on July 6th. She shared a heartfelt message to her sons, along with a photo of the three of them together.
“Please join me in wishing Justin & Jordan a HAPPY BIRTHDAY today!” Wanda wrote. “I’m so proud of our boys and grateful they are our sons, and I know Kenny felt the same way!“
She continued to say, “There is no doubt Kenny would be celebrating big if he were here…he is probably having ice cream in heaven in celebration of them today! … Justin & Jordan: I love you and hope you have the happiest birthday yet!“
