PAULA CARLENE NELSON – WILLIE NELSON AND CONNIE KOEPKE’ S DAUGHTER

With the family she’s from, making music simply comes naturally for Paula Carlene. She’s the daughter of country singers Connie Koepke and Willie Nelson. She also has a younger sister, Amy Lee. Willie established an extramarital relationship with Connie during his marriage with second wife Shirley. Then he married Connie the same year after Shirley filed for divorce from him in 1971. However, the couple finally separated and divorced in 1988, too.

Even as a young girl, Paula was often taken on tour with her father. This is how she got acquainted with some of music’s greats, including Jessi Colter and Waylon Jennings. As a singer, Paula has five studio albums to her credit, and even recorded a duet with her father called “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?”Since 2016, Paula has hosted the Monday to Thursday slot on Willie’s Roadhouse channel.
