Hannah Price, born September 7, 1996, and Griffin, born June 30, 1998, are Deanna’s children from her relationships before Chris. When she married Chris, she had been raising them as a single mom.

Deanna Revealed She Is Bisexual
The Daughtrys’ marriage has been through its fair share of ups and downs. Not only was Chris’ infidelity after finding fame a heavy burden on their relationship, but they also struggled with Deanna’s sexual identity crisis.
After being in the closet for years, Deanna came out as bisexual through Daughtry’s song, “As You Are.” Chris and a handful of people knew about Deanna’s sexual orientation, but she had never spoken openly about it in the past.

She translated her struggles into poetry, writing a sheet of lyrics she’d hand over to her musician husband. Her lyrics inspired him to compose “As You Are” and release the track, thus revealing his wife is bisexual.
Before they’d date, Deanna had confided in Chris about her past marriage and divorce with Hannah’s father, and a relationship with a woman. She’d finally embrace her bisexuality through therapy and growth.
In a rare candid interview together back in June, Chris and Deanna revealed the hard-earned stability they found in their marriage. With his Idol fame and platinum-selling albums, he was touring a lot and frequently away from Deanna and their kids. That was when he admitted to cheating on Deanna.
Chris nonetheless expressed his regret and guilt over his infidelity and worked to fix their marriage. “I think we’ve been committed enough to learn as we go and realize that we’re still trying to figure it out,” Chris said at that time.
“It’s like the universe knew that we were going to help each other grow,” said Deanna. “and each of us was going to be exactly what the other needed.”
