When it comes to Jessie James Decker, there isn\u2019t much that the star doesn\u2019t do. She got her start singing and songwriting (she has nearly 210 million global career streams), created her own fashion empire with four stores, is a two-time New York Times<\/em> best-selling author with a memoir and cookbook and she’s a loving wife and mother-of-three. At 34 years old, she’s conquered a lot \u2013 and she has no plans of slowing down.<\/p>\n

She has a lot of projects in the air, and Decker has an easy answer as to why she’s involved in so much: \u201cI think I do it because I just enjoy being creative \u2014 and if it makes people want to watch or pay attention, then that\u2019s what happens! But I feel like the intention is to express yourself,\u201d the entrepreneur exclusively tells GRAZIA USA<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, I love singing, I love making music, I love cooking and I love creating recipes,\u201d Decker continues. \u201cA goal as a businesswoman is always to just create great things that can help other people. I\u00a0think one of my superpowers is being able to do a lot of things at once \u2014 and do it with a smile on my face.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a country artist first, singing has always been at the forefront of Jessie James Decker’s priorities. Jessie\u2019s latest single is a duet with fellow country singer and longtime friend Billy Currington titled \u201cI Still Love You<\/a>.\u201d Their duet has reached over 4 million streams and is nominated for Favorite Collaboration at the 2022 Country Now Awards. (She’s also nominated for Favorite Female Artist. Winners will be announced in late December.)<\/p>\n

\u201cI have never had a song take off as fast as this one before. I feel like we just put it out, but we are off to the races with this one!\u201d Decker says with a smile.<\/p>\n

The superstar is also taking her talents on tour with Kane Brown this year and into 2023. This will be her first arena tour since she opened for The Jonas Brothers back in 2009. \u201cIt’s kind of crazy to be at this place now,” Decker reflects. “Because ever since then I’ve been headlining my own tours, which has been at clubs like 3,000 capacity. But this is 50,000 capacity, which is always a goal as an artist.”<\/p>\n

Decker and Brown have done a few one-off performances together, but this will be the pair\u2019s first tour. \u201cHis team and crew and audience and fans are the absolute coolest,\u201d the performer continues, \u201cso I know it’s gonna be fun!\u201d<\/p>\n

Decker’s love for singing began at the early age of 2, and the beauty captivated listeners everywhere with her 2009 self-titled debut. She recalls that her \u201cmade it\u201d moment in the entertainment industry came a few years later when she was pregnant with her second child, Eric \u201cBubby\u201d Decker, Jr., and got to play at the Grand Ole Opry. \u201cIt’s just funny how life goes, but I wouldn’t have had it any other way. It was a very special day,\u201d Decker shares, noting it was something \u201cyou just dream of as a little girl.\u201d<\/p>\n

The performer shares three children with her husband, former NFL star Eric Decker, 35: Vivianne \u201cVivi,\u201d 8, Eric \u201cBubby” Jr., 7, and Forrest, 4. The family of five currently reside in Nashville, Tennessee \u2014 the perfect town for a beloved country singer.<\/p>\n

Eric and Jessie met in 2011 when they were set up on a date by mutual friends. The pair quickly fell head over heels for each other, becoming a power couple in the spotlight. In 2013 the two lovebirds starred in their own reality television show on E!,<\/em>\u00a0Eric & Jessie: Game On<\/em><\/a>. Their show highlighted their lives during their engagement, early days of marriage, pregnancy and parenthood as young adults, while Eric played in the NFL.<\/p>\n

Jessie grabbed the attention of people across the country with her beautiful looks and goofy personality. America quickly fell in love with her, helping her fame continue to grow. The show eventually came to an end in 2017, however, that wasn\u2019t the end of the road for Decker in the spotlight \u2014 it was only the beginning.<\/p>\n
