Russell Dickerson kicked off his headlining All Yours, All Night tour in New York City on Jan. 25, and he had his wife, Kailey Dickerson, and their one-year-old son, Remington, by his side. “We waited to start a family until it was an option to keep the family together on the road,” Russell told HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY. “It’s been a financial sacrifice and a time sacrifice, but when my wife and I started dating, I was like, ‘I wanna keep my family together on the road.’ She was like, ‘I know what this lifestyle entails,’ but I said, ‘No, we can make it a family tour. We’ll keep the family together.’ And this is me keeping my promise.”
Russell and Kailey tied the knot in May 2013, and had their son in September 2020. Remington was born amidst the coronavirus pandemic, so the couple got to enjoy the first several months of his life at home. During summer 2021, though, Russell was back on the road. The singer credits Kailey with making sure everything went smoothly during that tour, as well as his current one.
“It’s astonishing [watching her as a mom],” he admitted. “Not just raising a kid, but also juggling everything that being on the road entails. We have bus stuff for Remington and for us. She’s just gathering everything together. I told her she literally keeps our family intact. She’s just absolutely crushing motherhood. She was born for this.”
Russell also said that Remington is “crushing” being on the road, and that the toddler is already excited about his lifestyle. “He’s talking like crazy now,” Russell revealed. “His vocabulary is getting bigger and bigger every day. When we were packing up to get everything on the bus, he was like, ‘Go go! Go go!’ He knew we were leaving for the road. It was just too tender.”
