Justin Moore has four kids, ages 9, 7, 5 and 2, and like every parent, he struggles with decisions like when to let them have a cell phone, or when they will be allowed to get on social media.

Moore's oldest daughter, Ella, who is 9, got an iPad from Justin and his wife Kate as a gift, and he says, “She’s still so young – well, at least I believe she’s naïve enough to only think that it’s for playing music – so I could be crazy. I could be the naive one. But that’s what we think she uses it for now. Maybe we need to take a look at it now that I say that.”

He adds, “We’ll probably be later than some people just cause we’re a little more overprotective or something, and I know some of our friends are, maybe. I say that, but heck, she may have one next week. You never know, but at least it’s our goal to hold it off as long as we possibly can.”

Justin recently announced a tour with country legend Tracy Lawrence. He posted to Instagram recently, "We just announced the cities and dates for The Late Nights And Longnecks Tour! (Link in bio) Where will we be seeing y’all!? @therealtracylawrence."
