Jason Aldean says having young kids in his 40s is a “helluva lot different” than it was in his 20s

Jason Aldean admits that he never thought he'd be raising young children at 40 years old -- but now that he is, he wouldn't change a thing.

In the latest edition of People magazine, the singer reflects on the differences he's found between parenting young kids in his 20s, versus parenting young kids nowadays at age 44. Jason has two teenage daughters from his previous marriage to Jessica Ussery, and he says that back when his daughters were little, things were a "helluva lot different," especially when it came to balancing family life with his career.

Now, Jason finds himself a dad to young kids once again: He and his wife Brittany share three-year-old Memphis and two-year-old Navy.

Jason's 10th studio album, Macon, came out earlier this month. It's one half of a double album, the other half of which -- titled Georgia -- is due out next spring.
