Keeley Ann Williams is the oldest daughter of Jason Aldean and his ex-wife, Jessica Ussery—but the real truth is, Keeley and Jason’s relationship is in such bad shape they’re pretty much “father-daughter” in name only.
There are so many sides to this sad and unbelievable story that it’s difficult to know where to start. But many concerned fans and followers want to know what happened to Keeley and whether she’s doing okay. Has she set the record straight?
A People Magazine article published on April 5th gives an update on all of Jason’s kids. They reported that Jason and his former “high-school sweetheart,” Jessica, had Keeley in February 2003. She’s currently 21.
Keeley’s sister, Kendyl, was born in 2007. That was it for Jason and Jessica because they split up in 2013.
An interesting fact about Keeley is that she was born on Valentine’s Day, February 14th. The People article mentioned an Instagram tribute Jason posted to Keeley on her “sweet 16” birthday.
At the time, Jason wrote that he still thought of his oldest daughter “as that little girl dancing around the stage, holding her microphone and pretending like she was the star of the show.” He finished Keeley’s birthday tribute by claiming he was “so proud” of the person Keeley is “turning into and even prouder to be her Daddy,” with a capital D.
Jason can capitalize the D in Daddy all he wants, but what’s the real truth about him and his oldest daughter? Many inside sources think Jason’s second wife, Brittany, is partly responsible for ripping him and Keeley apart.
Keeley Has Never Been Fond of Jason’s New Wife
Brittany and Jason get a lot of shade thrown at them online, especially on social media communities like Reddit, where forums are dedicated to Aldean family gossip, like Keeping Up With the Aldeans. A couple of years ago, a thread on Keeping Up with the Aldeans included a shocking cascade of images that allegedly came from Keeley’s ASKfm page.
The OP confessed that these screenshots were from “8 years ago,” but they claimed, “We can now see a child in crisis.” The images were from a specific Q&A between Keeley and her fans and followers, where she answered some seriously personal questions.

It looks like Keeley wasn’t particularly fond of her “dad’s new GF” from the very beginning. Shockingly, Keeley told one fan that it didn’t seem to bother her dad that she didn’t like Brittany.
Keeley admitted that she “hoped” she wouldn’t have to spend any summer vacation with Brittany. When someone asked her if she’d ever “hung out” with her “dads GF,” Keeley answered, “Noooo.”
Jason and Brittany have some online supporters. Strangely, this alleged insider info has yet to be published in articles on major media websites like People.com.
The April 5th People update on Jason’s kids claimed that Keeley had been “a built-in babysitter” for Jason and Brittany’s kids, Memphis and Navy. Jason once told People that his older daughters “were excited by the idea of becoming big sisters.”
When you compare the glowing People article to Keeley’s alleged ASKfm Q&A, it’s hard to pinpoint the real truth.
Brittany Didn’t Attend Keeley’s Graduation
One fan on the Q&A told Keeley that her post “broke my heart.” This fan explained that she was also a kid of divorced parents and told Keeley, “You have a great mom and God in your life.” The fan included a postscript that “nobody likes” Brittany, and all Keeley wrote was, “I know.”
If there was serious trouble in the Aldean family behind the scenes, they kept it hidden until the spring of 2021. Another Reddit thread appeared on the Keeping Up With the Aldeans forum with the headline, “Jason’s Girls – Recent Timeline.”
The OP created a timeline and alleged that “Jason and Britt” took “Keeley and her friends to St. Thomas for Spring Break” in 2021. It’s well-known that Jason and Brittany have bought a ton of real estate, including their Caribbean vacation home on St. Thomas.
People reported that Jason posted another loving Instagram tribute to Keeley in May 2021. People called it a “major milestone” in Keeley’s life, but shockingly, that was when Keeley and Jason’s relationship began to rip apart in public.
Jason’s Instagram tribute was all about watching Keeley graduate from high school. He claimed he was “really excited to see what the next chapter in life holds” for Keeley. Jason also wrote that her future is what she makes it, and he finished with, “We love you!”
However, online sources and suspicious fans found out that Brittany didn’t attend Keeley’s high school graduation and didn’t appear to post any messages to Keeley online to congratulate her or say, “I love you.” Jason and Brittany’s critics began to suspect something was happening with the family.
Keeley Remains Close With Her Sister Kendyl
A thread on the Celeb Wives of Nashville Reddit forum asked, “What happened????” They noticed that “Britt and Jason never post about his daughters” online and that Brittany wasn’t following Keeley on socials anymore.
Keeley has over 1 million likes on her TikTok account and over 27,000 followers. Thankfully, she’s posted videos that show she’s extremely close to her little sister, Kendyl.
People reported that Keeley posted a “video collage” in honor of Kendyl on March 14, 2022 with the message, “I love U sissy.” Keeley wrote how she’d watched her “little sister grow up” and sweetly described Kendyl as “the most beautiful person and my best friend.”
Jason Allegedly Refused to Pay for Keeley’s College
Following her high school graduation, Keeley reportedly began to attend Belmont University in Nashville in the fall of 2021. On May 26, 2022, a report published by Music Mayhem Magazine claimed that “Keeley also seems to have acquired her dad’s musical genes.”
According to Music Mayhem, Jason had “previously shared” that Keeley was “learning how to play the guitar” while she was studying at Belmont. But how would Jason even know that?
Redditors made shocking allegations about why Jason and Keeley had such a devastating falling out. The widely circulating rumor is that Jason refused to pay for Keeley’s expensive college tuition, and Keeley eventually cut ties with her dad and stepmom when she reached 18.
While Keeley hasn’t been as active on her public TikTok account recently, rumors about a family rift continue to spread. Another Reddit thread appeared at the beginning of the year asking about Jason’s “two older girls.” The comments are unbelievable.
The OP claimed they knew Keeley “is in college,” but they were concerned about Kendyl’s whereabouts. They alleged that Kendyl has not appeared on Jason or Brittany’s socials “since her birthday party, and Keeley wasn’t there for the celebration.”
Kendyl Didn’t Get a Normal “Sweet 16” Birthday Party
Jason and Brittany have distanced themselves from some fans due to their support of MAGA Republicans and Donald Trump, and one Redditor thinks that Jason’s oldest kids are not a fan of their politics, either.
One commenter really threw shade at Brittany, alleging that Jason’s older girls must “hate” his wife. This commenter also believes the rumor that Kendyl only makes appearances with Jason, Brittany, and their kids because “she absolutely has to” and that Keeley stopped “being around… when she turned 18.”
Another twisted side to this story came up on a Keeping Up With the Aldeans Reddit thread in August 2023. The OP alleged that Jason and Brittany turn “every event they have into a booze fest,” and they included screenshots of Kendyl’s sweet 16 birthday party. Then they asked, “Did anyone spot Keeley in any stories?”
Sadly, Keeley appeared to be a no-show at her little sister and best friend’s milestone birthday party. One commenter wrote sarcastically, “Just what every 16-year-old girl dreams of… inspiring a bar drink,” since Brittany and Jason appear to have turned Kendyl’s sweet 16 into an adult-themed event.
This thread included some pretty nasty comments and a lack of confirmed statements from anyone who claimed to be close to Jason’s older daughters. But at least one commenter thought of Kendyl’s feelings in this crazy situation, and they sounded more optimistic.
They wrote that they were “so glad” that Kendyl has her mom Jessica “to plan a normal sweet 16” birthday party for her. They added, “2 more years, baby girl… and you are free,” so maybe Kendyl will be following in Keeley’s footsteps and breaking free of Jason and Brittany when she turns 18.
