• Henry Taylor, James’s son with Kim Smedvig, has been increasingly visible in his father’s tours and performances.

This is reflected in multiple outlets noting Henry’s ongoing involvement in the touring band and live appearances.[2][4]

Sally has pursued music toward education and nonprofit work, and Ben has released music while also pursuing other work outside of the spotlight; both have been active in the broader James Taylor family legacy but with varying levels of public exposure in 2024–2025 reporting.[1][4]
