Gary Chapman and Amy Grant's son, Matthew Garrison, was born on September 25, 1987, in Nashville, Tennessee. He is currently 37 years old.
Matthew followed in his family's musical footsteps briefly but is more focused on his entrepreneurial ventures. He is the president and chief technology officer of LabCanna, a Nashville-based cannabis company that he co-founded in 2016 with help from his parents.
Matthew tends to keep a low profile. While he is not in show business, he told The Tennessean in 2019 that he could not have a normal job because of his parents' careers.
I learned to walk on a tour bus...I have sort of only been surrounded by creative individuals or entrepreneurs my entire life, and so, the idea of a normal job sort (of) seems like a prison.

Amy Grant and Gary's daughter Gloria Mills Chapman was born on December 18, 1989. She inspired her mother's hit song 'Baby Baby' from her 1991 album Heart in Motion.
Millie is employed in the publishing industry and lives in New York City. She married Ben Long in April 2019, and they welcomed their first child, Penelope Willow Long, in January 2022. Their son, Oliver Dean, was born in March 2024.
Millie made headlines in January 2017 when she donated a kidney to her best friend, Kathryn Dudley, who was battling a rare kidney disease. Her parents expressed pride in their daughter's action, with her mother revealing in a 2017 interview with The Tennessean that the decision shocked her.
Millie is not an overly affectionate person. She will say I love you once every few years. But just when she did that, I went, 'Oh my God, we live in a culture that puts a lot of weight on words and not a lot of weight on experience and action.'
