Dierks Bentley’s Kids: Annie And Gretzky
Dierks Bentley is always talking about his three kids and posting on his social media about what is going on in his family’s lives. He did that on Insta Stories this week about his middle daughter Jordan, who has her 13th birthday on Christmas Day.
From the looks of it, Jordan is an actress and scored the title role in a Tennessee theater version of Annie. Dierks posted a clip of her performance where she even sings. The clip shows her on stage dressed as Annie and doing a familiar duet for the famous play. Bentley writes over the clip, “Awesome weekend… Jordan is Annie.”
In the second slide, Dierks posted a photo of himself, his wife Cassie, and Jordan holding flowers. He wrote over that image, “So proud of you, Jordan…The kid works so hard.”
In the third slide, the proud dad focused on his youngest child, Knox, who got a big win in Florida with his youth hockey team. He wrote on that video clip of the team cheering, “And @knoxbentley7 and the @musiccictymarauders got the big W in Tampa.”

Earlier this year, Bentley entered a new phase of his life as a dad with a teenage daughter, who is sixteen and is learning to drive from Dierks himself. Bentley posted a funny video clip to his Instagram. In the clip, he’s in the passenger seat while Evie drives. The video starts with Dierks looking very concerned, and Evie says, “Okay, gas, brake, gas.” Bentley says, “Where’s my brake?” Then he tells his girl to make a return to a neighborhood street after she puts the car in drive. He then panics a bit and tells her to look both ways, advising her to “turn the wheel the way you want it to go.”
Evie laughs and says to her dad, “This is so cool.”‘ Dierks responds dryly, “Yeah, it’s really cool.”
He captioned the funny video, “Driving lessons with @eviedayb8 begin.”
