Kane Brown is continuing his fitness quest, now using a Diamond Rio classic to encourage his fans to hit the gym. In a new video Brown posted, he starts singing Diamond Rio's 1991 debut single, "Meet In The Middle," before changing the lyrics to a motivational message.

"We'll meet in the middle at the gym, where your a-- needs to be," Brown says. "I'm here, ready, and waiting on you. Let's better ourselves. Come on."
Earlier this year, Brown revealed he had completed a 60-hour fast, the start of his massive transformation. In the months since then, Brown has been sharing his progress, making an entire lifestyle change with both his diet and exercise.
"No fast food, no sugar, chicken, turkey, rice and potatoes," Brown divulges (via Holler). "On re-feed days, asparagus. I work out every day, run a mile every day, push myself. I want to look like a plastic toy soldier".
Kane Brown And His Family Of Five
Part of Brown's inspiration for getting healthy is for his children. Brown and his wife Katelyn have two daughters, Kingsley Rose and Kodi Jane. In 2024, the couple welcomed their third child, and first son, with the addition of Krewe Allen.
And according to Katelyn, their family of five is complete.
Brown's children are enjoying a much different life than he had growing up. The Georgia native faced abuse and homelessness, among other hardships. For some, it would have been enough to make them bitter. For Brown, it makes him want to be the best dad he can possibly be.
"I always knew that I was gonna try to be there," Brown says on the Great Company With Jamie Laing podcast. "I just always wanted to give them the life that I never had."
Brown recalls several challenging experiences he had as a young boy with his stepfathers, heartbreaking for anyone to endure.
"We were smoking behind the trailer, and they caught us," Brown recalls. "They made us eat it. But he always - he made me eat bars of soap, shaved my head. And this was different stepdads, by the way. He shaved my head and put aftershave on it. I remember just rubbing my head on the carpet like a dog's a-. ... I was doing the same thing but with my head."
Brown is, refreshingly, not bitter.
"It made me who I am today," he says. "It made me strong."
