With another baby on the way, the country singer says he&#8217;s planning to take some time off and make family his priority for a while.<\/p>\n<h3>Russell Dickerson Is Pressing Pause on His Music Career<\/h3>\n<p>During an appearance on <em><a href=\"https:\/\/countrycountdownusa.com\/2026\/11\/russell-dickerson-co-hosts-11-7-8\/\" target=\"_blank\">Country Countdown USA<\/a><\/em>, Dickerson revealed that he&#8217;s never really taken a break during his career. That&#8217;s about to change.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve never taken a break in 12 years. But now, having this baby, we&#8217;re going to take some time off, until maybe around May. We&#8217;re gonna shut it down,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<p>Dickerson isn&#8217;t just taking a few days off between shows, either. He&#8217;s planning ahead so he can have everything in place before stepping away.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m gonna have a record done before the end of the year, so we can have family time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Russell Dickerson Has a Lot Going on at Home<\/h3>\n<p>Dickerson and his wife have been working on their dream house for the last two and a half years.\u00a0What started as a renovation turned into a much bigger project after their builder recommended starting over.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve been building a house for the last 2-1\/2 years. Hopefully we&#8217;ll get in before this baby gets here.\u00a0It started as a renovation, and then as we started, our builder recommended we just scrap it, so that&#8217;s been a whole new process, and that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s taken so long.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Are Russell Dickerson and His Wife Planning On More Than 3 Kids?<\/h3>\n<p>The new baby isn&#8217;t necessarily the end of the road for Dickerson&#8217;s growing family. While talking about his friend <a href=\"https:\/\/tasteofcountry.com\/tags\/thomas-rhett\" target=\"_blank\">Thomas Rhett<\/a>, who has five kids,\u00a0Dickerson admitted that\u00a0he&#8217;s not ruling out having four kids himself.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Four seems feasible, and if we had a whoopsie daisy five\u2026I&#8217;ve never met anyone who says they wish they had less kids. They always want more. I believe that,&#8221; Dickerson says.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Read More:<\/strong><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/tasteofcountry.com\/russell-dickerson-baby-gender-reveal-video\/\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0Russell Dickerson Was \u2018Shooketh\u2019 After Finding Out The Gender of Baby No. 3 \u2014 See the Reveal!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>He even has a picture in his head of what the future could look like.<\/p>\n<div class=\"branded-app-shortcode-inarticle\">\n<div class=\"logo-wrap\" rel=\"fwef\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;I see us all gathered around the kitchen table when they have spouses.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For now, Dickerson is looking forward to welcoming another baby and taking a break he hasn&#8217;t given himself in more than a decade.
