Terry Bradshaw's Children See Him as a 'Vibrant, Positive Person' - Meet His Beautiful Daughters
National Football League legend Terry Bradshaw has daughters who adore him, not because he is famous, but because he humbly leaves celebrity life behind when at home. His daughters see their father as a loving and good family man.
Bradshaw has three daughters. Two of his daughters, Erin and Rachel, are from his third marriage. Their mother, Charla Hopkins, was married to Bradshaw for sixteen years between 1983 to 1999.
The third daughter, Lacey, is from Bradshaw's fourth wife's previous marriage. Her mother, referred to in the media as Tammy, married in 2014 after a thirteen-year relationship.

Rachel Bradshaw
Rachel is the eldest of Terry's daughters. She was born on May 13, 1987, and grew up at her father's ranch in West Lake, Texas, before they moved to Oklahoma.
For her tertiary education, she attended Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. After graduation, she began a career in music in the country music genre. Her father, who plays the guitar, had introduced her to music earlier in her life, and she developed a passion for it.
Within a short time, she signed a record deal as a country music artist and has since become an award-winning singer, songwriter, and television personality.

Rachel's Career and Social Media Presence
Her songwriting skills gained her national attention when she and country music singer Jerrod Niemann co-wrote a song called "What Do You Want." The song was certified gold by the RIAA.
Rachel and her father appeared on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" in 2012. They performed a song she wrote called "Everything A Daddy Won't Say."
The two Bradshaws, Rachel, and Terry, feature in their family's reality TV show, "The Bradshaw Bunch," which is now into its second season on "E!" having begun in 2020. She also appeared on another reality show called "Nashville," which only ran for one season in 2017.

Rachel's Personal Life
Rachel followed in her mother's footsteps by marrying an NFL player. In June 2014, she married Rob Bironas. Sadly, misfortune struck as her husband died in a car crash just three after their wedding.
In an interview with "E! News," she described how she never saw her father as a celebrity when she was younger.
She has since moved on with a mystery man whom she does not name or tag in her social media posts. She is a very active Instagram user, boasting about 170k followers.
Erin Bradshaw
Erin is the youngest of Terry Bradshaw's daughters. She is a graduate of the University of Nothern Texas, Texas. Spending some time on her father's ranch as a child, she became a horse riding enthusiast, and she has made a career out of it by riding competitively in equestrian-style horse riding.
Much like her sister's music career, Erin's exploits in the horse riding industry have been a success. She won a world title in 2010 riding her stud horse, John Simon.
In addition to horse riding, she has become a TV personality due to her involvement in her family's reality show. She is also an active user of Instagram and has amassed 108k followers so far.
Erin Bradshaw's Personal Life
Erin is married to another horse enthusiast and trainer Scott Weiss. The two were married in 2017 and became parents of a daughter, Jessie Paxton Weiss, in 2021. Jessie was born on "December 18, 2021, at 3:01 p.m., weighing 7lbs. 10ozs and 20 inches long."
Erin, like her sister, has a very close relationship with her father. In an interview with "E! News," she described how she never saw her father as a celebrity when she was younger. She added:
"His personality is, you know, to the moon-and-back. I don't think you can be around a more vibrant, positive person with just such a big love for life."
Lacey Hester
Lacey changed her name to Hester from Luttrull after she married Noah Fox Hester, a private chef, in 2016. The name Luttrull is from her father, David Luttrull, who was married to her mother before Terry.
Although she is not Terry Bradshaw's biological daughter, you would never notice it as she fits in well with the rest of the blonde-haired Bradshaws. She has been part of the family since Terry and Tammy got together in 1999.
She has two children. The first is a daughter named Zuri from a past relationship. The second is Jed, who she had with Noah Hester and was born in 2017.
Lacey's Mental Health Struggles
Lacey has over 58k followers on her Instagram. In one of her posts, she expressed how she was always tired, grumpy, and unable to sleep well after the birth of her daughter.
She credits her husband and the birth of her son for helping her through that phase. Her father, Terry Bradshaw, is someone she also turns to for advice as she thinks that he is very insightful.
Terry Bradshaw's daughters portray an upbringing filled with love and compassion, and their father has significantly influenced them. Rachel says their father is very sensitive and "really cares what us girls think."
The Bradshaw girls each have something in common with their father regarding their professional careers. Rachel went into music, Erin into horses, and Lacey into sports.
