In January, Cody also shared a picture of him and Jess on Instagram and captioned it: “Ride or die.”

His son Blake is following in his father’s musical footsteps, and Cody is also believed to be part of a family band.

Nollsie previously told 9honey Celebrity he always wanted his children to follow their own path and do what made them happy. 

But he did say he was proud of his son.

“I didn’t want to push them into something that I loved, so I just let them find their own happiness in whatever field they wanted to, and it turns out music has the same effect on Blake as it does on me,” Nollsie said at the time when asked about Blake.
