VIDEO: DARIUS RUCKER FEATURES HIS KIDS
On Last night’s CMA show, former Hootie and the Blowfish singer Darius Rucker became the first African-American to win the “Best New Artist” award. Without a doubt, Darius has hit singles like “Don’t Think I Don’t Think About It” and “It Won’t Be Like This For Long” to thank for his prestigious award. Above is the video for “It Won’t Be Like This For Long”, which features Darius and his three kids:Cary, Dani and Jack
Darius the Dad and husband…
On wife, Beth: “She worked at VH1, and she was in charge of taking care of us at a show once. We met there but didn’t really start going out for three years [laughs]. I don’t think she liked me too much.”
On 13-year-old daughter, Cary: “She’s grown into a beautiful, wonderful, smart woman. She makes me proud to be her dad, and I love her. She’s funny, talented, smart and all the things you want your kids to be.”
On 7-year-old daughter, Dani: “She wants to learn the guitar, so she’s going to start lessons soon. I want them all to play something. Be like multi-virtuosos and we can have a rockin’ family band!”
On 4-year-old son, Jack: “He’s a little flirt! He’s my boy; he’s a good kid, he’s got a lot of personality. He’s a lot like his dad — he’s got my sense of humor. He’s always trying to be funny.”

Such a sweet family. I love his baby boy’s big beautiful smile!
Co-Sign… =)
his kids are all cuties, but i dont like country music…
I listen to some country music but not alot…He actually sounds pretty good to me…Nice Family
Congrats to him! His family is beautiful.
I actually saw some of the award show and I caught his performance. It was a really good performance and the other artist and the fans really seemed to like him. When he received his award, he thanked everyone for accepting him. He was very humble. I’m not a big country music fan but I enjoy some of the music and I’m thinking about buying his cd. I wish him the best in his career.
His family is beautiful. His son is such a cutie.
Cute couple, cute kids! Some country music is cool by me. Variety is the spice of life as they say.
His son sorta looks like Ben Harper.
not Ben Harper, but Ben Harper’s son. As far as this dude’s music…..
I love Darious! I’m a big country music fan (Dixie Chicks in particular). Don’t knock it till you try it!
Side note: Aren’t there some people who you just KNOW are going to marry outside their race? lol. His family is gorgeous though.
I have to admit I was not surprised to see that his wife was wife, but then again I think his ex is black (the mother of his oldest daughter).
I heard about the award and I just have to hear him sing the country western stuff.
That boy has a big mouth! Cute though!
His son reminds me of Carol Channing (Hello Dolly!) with his big mouth.
Jinni (shaking my head). Comparing that baby’s mouth to that woman’s. Intentionally or unintentionaly mean–fess up
I wasn’t trying to be mean; just making an observation.
Don’t apologize. You are right too. Same mouth.
that lil boys is super cute love his smile. is it me or as i read what he said about each kid the sec daughter he didnt say much and the others he ahd different character traits and their uniquiness ( if thats a wrd)
WOW…REALLY BEAUTIFUL, I AM GLAD TO SEE A BLACK COUNTRY MUSIC
ARTIST. WE ARE TALENTED IN EVERY GENRE. BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW FAMILY!
CONGRATS HOOTIE!
I never listened to Darius Rucker when he was Hootie. But I listen to him now all of the time. I do listen to country !!! I think Dani and Jack look just like him !!! All of the kids are cute though !!!
Aww his Kids are cute. I am so happy he decided to go solo. I was so happy to see him win at the CMT’s last night…. I love country music too - fell in love with it when I attended college down south
Oh, that little boy is so inexplicably precious.
I like Hootie, cute family.
Darius children are adorable.
