Darius Rucker is a star! That is certainly no surprise to fans of the country music star and Hootie and the Blowfish frontman, but now the Hollywood Walk of Fame has made it official. Darius celebrated the achievement with some of his closest friends and family.
On December 4, Darius became the 2,766th celebrity recognized with a terrazzo and brass star on Hollywood Boulevard. Ana Martinez, producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, said, "The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to honor the very talented Darius Rucker. I think he will be happy to know that his mentor and friend Charley Pride’s star is a few feet away from his star."

Darius made a rare appearance with all three of his children, Caroline (28), Daniella (22), and Jack (18). Darius shares Caroline with his former girlfriend Elizabeth Ann Phillips. He separated from Daniella and Jack's mom, Beth Leonard, in 2020 after 20 years of marriage.
During his speech, the proud dad said, "Carrie, Dani and Jack are my heart, they're my soul. They're everything to me and everything I do is for them." He continued, "It's just been an amazing thing to be your father. As great as all this stuff is, it's not as cool as being your dad, and I really mean that. I love you guys so much."
