Sadly, Darius and Beth announced their decision to ‘consciously uncouple’ while remaining close friends and parenting partners in July 2020. Get to know Darius Rucker’s children below!

Although each of his children show musical ability, Rucker would rather them all find success outside of the entertainment industry.
“If they were to ask me what I wanted them to do singing would be the last thing I would want them to do. Go be an engineer. Go be a doctor. Go get a real job. Get a family and live a great life…” Rucker revealed in a past interview with Life of Dad.
As for what he wants for his three children, it’s simple— have faith and be good people.
“That love of God is so important. My kids are great kids. I always stress to be good people. Be good to others. For me I tell them that it is easier to be nice than to be a jerk. I say it to my kids all the time. That is one of the things that I remember from growing up. My mom said how important it was to be a good person. That is one thing that I truly try to put into their lives. It is just second nature. It is to be nice and help folks,” the South Carolina native sagely explained.
