Tanya Tucker, 65, is a country music sensation with over a dozen Grammy nominations under her belt! The “Love Me Like You Used To” singer is also one of the talented performers who took the stage at the 2023 Country Music Association Awards on November 8. Tanya took to Instagram on October 25 to announce the exciting show with a heartfelt post. “The #CMAawards are known for unforgettable collaborations.

The world was ORANGE. AND LAYLA CUT HER OWN BANGS!!! Oh what I would give to just GO BACK and do it again!” she went in the caption. Ahead of her CMAs performance, below is everything you need to know about Tanya’s three children!
Presley Tanita Tucker free
Tanya’s eldest child is her daughter, Presley Tanita Tucker free (b. 1989). The now 34-year-old was born to the famous recording artist and film producer Red Mountain. Although Tanya has never been married, she welcomed two of her three children with Ben. Presley primarily followed in her mother’s footsteps and pursued a career in music. It seems that she works with her mother because she often shows pictures on the road with Tanya.
Recently, in July 2022, Tanya celebrated her eldest child’s birthday while performing on stage with her. “Surprise!!!! Happy birthday to my first born @presleytucker! Love you honey! So glad we could celebrate you tonight in Tulsa, ok!!!” the 65-year-old entered in the video’s caption. Presley also hit her dad on Father’s Day 2021. “My Pops. Happy Fathers Day. I love you more than every little grain of sand on all the beaches, in every country,” she wrote in the caption.
Beau Grayson Tucker
Beau Grayson Tucker (b. 1991) especially Tanya’s only son. The 32-year-old, who formally goes by Grayson, seems to have pursued a career in music. His official Instagram, which has over 2K followers, claims to be an “artist” and also featured plenty of pictures of him with other musicians. He also includes pictures of his famous momma on his account in and out of the studio. “So fun and exciting to be in the studio,” he captioned a post with Tanya in January 2019.
Another musician, Brandi Carlile, be sure to hover over Grayson in the comments section of that same post. “Man – you’ve got the vibe and the attitude for it. It was an honor to work with you,” she wrote at the time. Meanwhile, Grayson recently tweeted his momma for her birthday on October 10, 2020. “Happy birthday my love! he captioned a photo with Tanya near a lake.
Layla LaCosta Laser
In addition to her two children with Ben, Tanya welcomed one daughter with a fellow singer Jerry Laser. The two share a daughter Layla LaCosta Laser (b. 1999), who is also a musician like her parents! The now 24-year-old has over 5.5K followers on Instagram and showcases her work on the social media platform. Recently, Layla opened for her mother’s concert in June 2023. “What an honor and last minute surprise! Opening for @thetanyatucker this weekend,” she told the post at the time.
Layla is not only a proud singer, but she is also a proud girl. The singer has frequently outed Tanya online, including when her mother was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame on October 22, 2023. “I just can’t get the words out a discovery that explains how proud I am of my mother. I cried most of my tears this morning,” Layla wrote at the time. “It’s a long, long road with many ups and downs – a few twists and turns – but by God, ‘folk music’ has finally given her the recognition she deserves. More than 50 years of singing it and her ** off and heart out to people of all ages all over the world.”
