Inside Ronnie Dunn's Marriage

March 2024 ยท 2 minute read

Ronnie Dunn is a one-woman kind of man. Janine and Dunn tied the knot in 1990 and haven't looked back. The couple had three children together: daughters Whitney and Harley, and son Jesse. They also have two grandchildren as of 2021, according to Wide Open Country. Per Fabiosa, Dunn is Janine's second marriage; she was first widowed after her husband died of cancer in the 1980s. 

Janine also urged Dunn to explore a solo career. Dunn recalled to Great American Country (via Fabiosa) that Janine told him he needed to "stop and spend time trying to find where you are in your heart" after over 35 years in the music industry. The Dunn family currently reside on a 600-acre farm in Nashville, dubbed "The Barn" per Country Living. Dunn joked to Southern Living that he shows off his handyman skills to his wife. "Janine is hard to impress but she does think it's cool when I fix things around the house," Dunn admitted. 

For Dunn, it's all about family. "While I work to write and gather 'dysfunctional' 'crying in your beer' songs for the upcoming hard core country record, I am reminded of the things that really matter in life...family, the children of my children!!" Dunn captioned on Instagram. He even offered sage advice to parents on Twitter: "Life goes by fast, sing as loud as you can while you can." The Dunns' love story is worthy of its own ballad!
