Jason Aldean is sharing his No. 1 tip for maintaining a healthy marriage with wife Brittany Aldean.
“I just think that sometimes you realize that you’re just not always going to see eye-to-eye on things,” Jason, 49, told Fox News Digital in an interview published on Tuesday, April 28. “There are certain things that she’s never going to see where I’m coming from and vice versa, right? And you just kind of have to go with it. Agree to disagree.”
The “She’s Country” singer continued, “But once you learn to kind of let go of that stuff instead of like let it just sit there and bother you all day … it’s like, ‘Yeah, we’re never going to see eye-to-eye on this, so let’s keep moving.'”
Jason and Brittany, 37, tied the knot in 2015 and share two kids: Memphis, 8, and Navy, 7. (The CMA Award winner is also dad to daughters Keeley, 23, and Kendyl, 18, whom he shares with ex-wife Jessica Ussery.)
“I just feel like we’ve always been super tight. I mean we’re best friends,” Jason told the outlet of his relationship with Brittany. “I feel like that’s why it works. We are super supportive of each other, whether it be my business ventures or her business ventures or whatever the case may be. I think she’s turned into a great business-minded person. She’s a great mom and all the things.”
The musician continued, “When you’re first getting married and getting together, you’re just like, ‘Well, this is fun.’ And then as time goes on, it’s like, she’s kind of figured out her place in all this. Because it was a big adjustment for her, you know, us getting married and her coming into a relationship where I have this established career and her trying to figure out how she kind of fits into all that.”
Jason gushed of his wife, “To see how she’s handled that has been amazing. Where we’re at now is, we have this amazing family, amazing life and careers, and it’s just, it’s been awesome.”
Jason and Brittany, who briefly competed on American Idol in 2012, released their first duet, “Easier Gone,” in January.
“It was something we’ve always talked about,” Jason explained to Fox News Digital. “It’d be cool to do this if the right song came along; that was always my thing. Because, you know, I always feel like the song has to come in. And then you kind of figure out who goes on it versus going, ‘Hey, let’s you and I do a song!'”
He added, “And a lot of times, I feel like with husbands and wives doing songs, it could go one of two ways. It’s either really cheesy or it could be cool. I’ve seen it both ways. So, I wanted to be really selective about what we did and for it to still be kind of on brand with me and my music and what I do. … We took Brittany into the studio, and she crushed it, did great.”
The song came as part of Jason’s 12th studio album, Songs About Us, which was released on April 24.
“It’s all over the board,” Jason told the outlet about the record. “It’s love songs, it’s heartache songs, it’s all of it. It’s just things that we all kind of experience on a daily basis and definitely that I’m experiencing at the moment. That’s kind of the meaning behind all of this.”
