The always-entertaining Jessie James Decker has been keeping it real with her fans, opening up about the struggles of being a mom-of-four and how it's affected her music career. The 37-year-old singer-songwriter, who's married to NFL star Eric Decker, revealed that she's stepped back from touring in recent times to focus on her family life.

In a candid Instagram post, Jessie shared: "I've struggled with the emotions of it all lately because I love touring and singing. That's what I've done my whole life, people forget but that's how I got started in this business." She went on to confess that she's been grappling with feelings of mom guilt, worrying about leaving her young children behind while she pursues her passion for music.

Asked if she plans to tour again, Jessie said on Instagram: 'One day. I've struggled with the emotions of it all lately because I love touring and singing. That's what I've done my whole life, people forget but that's how I got started in this business'

But don't worry, Jessie fans - the country-pop star is determined to be present for all the major milestones in her kids' lives. "My kids need me.
