Personal life[edit]
Adkins has two daughters, Tarah and Sarah, with his ex-wife, and three daughters with current wife: MacKenzie, Brianna, and Trinity. Adkins is a Republican and he performed at the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida.[35] He also performed the National Anthem at Republican Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam's second inauguration in 2015.[36] Adkins is also a life-member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the NRA.
As a youth, Adkins was in an automobile accident in which his 1955 pickup truck hit a bus head-on. Both his arms, a leg, and some ribs were broken and his nose was partially torn off. Adkins was forced to give up football after a severe knee injury at Louisiana Tech. He has also experienced a number of serious injuries as an adult, including being shot by his ex-wife in 1994.[37] The bullet went through his heart and both lungs. He survived and chose not to press charges.[38]
In early 2014, Adkins checked into rehab for alcoholism after getting into an altercation on a cruise ship.[39] In March 2014, Trace Adkins and his wife Rhonda filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.[40]
