Who are Josh Kerr and Jonah Font? All about Maddie & Tae’s husbands as the duo announces split

Maddie Marlow Font and Tae Dye Kerr have decided to take an indefinite break after almost 15 years of working together as the country duo Maddie & Tae. They shared their future plans in a December 8, 2025 interview with People Magazine.

During the interview, Kerr said she is stepping away from music for now to focus on her family — her husband, Grammy-winning songwriter-producer Josh Kerr, and their two children, daughter and son Chapel.

Font, on the other hand, plans to start a solo career while also managing her life as a wife to her husband, Jonah Font, and their son Forrest.

Dye revealed her marriage to Josh in an Instagram post in February 2020, writing:
“My person for life ❤️ I am madly in love with you @joshkerrmusic // 2.21.20.”

Thank y’all for all the love as we step into this new bittersweet chapter. We feel overwhelmed with gratitude for what we’ve built the last 12 years. Thank you for making our dreams come true & we hope you stay close by to watch us chase some new dreams! https://t.co/wOPWtu7Mlo pic.twitter.com/eEXw8p6x1s

According to Red Light Management, Josh is a Grammy-winning and CMA-nominated songwriter and producer who grew up in New York. He has won Song of the Year at the 2019 K-Love Fan Awards and the Dove Awards for co-writing God Only Knows by for KING & COUNTRY. He has also worked on My Girl, Love Me Like You Mean It and Dibs, and collaborated with many well-known artists like Russell Dickerson, Camila Cabello, Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney, Little Big Town, Jake Scott and more.

Marlow married her longtime boyfriend, Font, in November 2019 at The Barn at Sycamore Farms in Tennessee. She met Font during her high school years in Texas. According to People Magazine, he is a stay-at-home husband. Speaking about her wedding, she told the outlet:
“We both can’t hold back happy tears… I’m most excited for walking down the aisle to my dream man.”

“We might make another record one day”: Maddie & Tae on their split

In the interview with People Magazine, Maddie & Tae explained that they are keeping their split “so open-ended because, you know, we might make another record one day,” and “we might go do some tour dates one day.”
Font added:
“We’re leaving this so open-ended because, you know, we might make another record one day. We might go do some tour dates one day,” but she also said that “just in this season, it doesn’t feel aligned for us to do it together.”

Both artists said that while they are stepping back from being Maddie & Tae, their friendship is still strong. Font shared:
“Even though we’re not gonna go on this journey as Maddie & Tae together, we’re still walking and doing life together outside of it… None of that changes.”

Kerr also spoke about the emotional decision, saying:
“It’s been such a hard, hard — honestly, heartbreaking — decision… This career has been everything we’ve ever wanted.”

Font said she noticed last year that Kerr was having a hard time balancing family life with touring. As a mother herself, she understood the struggle. This led to a phone call in September where they talked openly. Kerr recalled:
“Maddie was just like, ‘Tell me where your heart is.’ And I was like, ‘My heart is at home.’ And she said, ‘Okay. Then that’s what we need to do.'”

Maddie & Tae are still on tour for now. Their final show is scheduled for June 19, 2026, in Winsted, Minnesota.
