Jack White & Karen Elson's Quiet Nashville Life

It is not often that we hear stories of former White Stripes frontman Jack White and wife, British model Karen Elson. Out of the Hollywood spotlight, the two share a quiet life just outside of Nashville, Tn., with their two children, Scarlett, 4, and Henry, 2.

White has made his mark on the music industry in various bands and with solo work, and now it is Elson's turn, with the stunning mama releasing her new album, The Ghost Who Walks, and embarking on a tour in June. White has said that their children are keen on music as well, "They're very musical - they're quite funny in how intently they pay attention to things."

The album has a dark undertone to it, and Elson revealed to the Times Online how it may affect their children, "Our daughter [Scarlett] is going to be 4 very soon, and our son [Henry] is 2½. I often say to Jack, ‘There’s going to be a point when our children view us as the Addams Family’. But we’re not trying to raise them in some fantasy world. If they end up liking Miley Cyrus, well, I’m happy with that. Computer games, I’m not so happy about."

So what is it like to be a musician constantly touring with two young children? White shared, "Paul McCartney used to take his kids everywhere, never had a nanny I heard. So it can be done, it just becomes part of the scenario. At first it's overwhelming, then you look at other people - some mother will tell you she went back to her nine-to-five job two weeks after giving birth. That's really no different to us. Maybe we're more spoilt - we don't have to go the office. You can't take your family to the office."

The couple were married in 2005, and Elson also revealed the impact of their marriage on her life, "Until I married Jack, I had always felt weirdly detached from everything, one step removed from the world."

It sounds like they have the right idea. Best of luck to them!

I find it odd that one of the best, dedicated, and responsible parents includes a pair involving Jack White. As weird as the guy is, he seems to have his head straight. Plus, his musical genius doesn't seem to affect his parenting either. Funny stuff.

There are pictures of their babies on Starface, but you have to be a member to see them larger. They are the only paparazzi pics I've seen of them.

Can Celebrity Baby Scoop post the larger pictures?

The direct link doesn't work anymore. Go to Visitor Access on the link and search for Karen Elson. The pictures of the babies start on the second page. I think a lot of people would love to see these pics, but ya might feel guilty since they are so private.

She is gorgeous, but she has a very mediocre voice AND her so called original song (the full band version) The Ghost Who Walks, is a total rip off (melodically) from The Doors song 'Riders On The Storm'. When I first heard it I just about fell on the floor laughing as soon as I hear the keyboard riff. Same type of keyboards, same type of bass line, same droning vocals.

I agree. It sounds a whole heck of a lot like Riders On The Storm.

I think The Ghost Who Walks is better than Riders on the Storm....and I don't think they sound alike. There is so much music out there, every now and then two songs are going to sound alike.
