Jake Worthington is shifting his focus.
On Friday, May 22, the country music singer/songwriter, 30, took to social media to announce his plans to take a temporary hiatus from music and the road. Worthington reasoned that he needed to spend more of his time prioritizing his personal life, which includes his wife, Sophie, and the couple’s daughter, Whitley Anne.
“I live a life as my heroes did, but that life has gotten a hold of me,” Worthington shared in a statement on Instagram, directing his message to his family, friends, and fan base.

“I promise I will come back even better,” he captioned, closing out his message with: “God bless Country Music. JW.”
After sharing his vulnerable message online, Worthington quickly drew support from fans and friends, including other artists.
“La you bro!” Dierks Bentley wrote in the comments section of the post, while Jake Owen added, “I’m here for ya, buddy. You are stronger than most.”
