Meet Hopie Feek, daughter of country music artist Rory Feek: she’s locked horns with her pops over writing about her sexuality in his memoir, and she just revealed that Feek isn’t her bio dad
Rory’s adult children say they’re being denied contact with their baby sister Indiana, who’s being raised in a conservative Christian community, Homestead Heritage, which has been described as a cult
Feek raised Hopie, 36, and her sister Heidi, 38, as a single dad after splitting from their mother, Tamara Gilmer.
In the same video, Hopie went on to share a photo of herself standing next to a man who she introduced as her biological father.
“Turns out this is my dad – not the one everyone knows – and his name is B. C.”
A few days after her revelation, Feek recounted the day Hopie broke the news to him in a blog post titled “a different dad”. In the post, Feek shared that he wasn’t completely surprised: he’d always suspected that Hopie wasn’t his biological child. He recounted that her due date hadn’t aligned with his six-month military deployment and that at one point he’d directly asked Gilmer if Hopie was his, and had been reassured.
“My love for Hopie isn’t based on us having the same blood running through our veins. I love her because she’s my child, even if technically … she’s not,” Feek wrote.
