Next up is Natalie Maines, the lead singer for the Dixie Chicks. While she was part of the band, she was married to her college sweetheart, Michael Tarabay. But it seems that forever was only two years long. In May of the same year, Maines met actor Adrian Pasdar at her bandmate Emily Erwin’s wedding.
After a year of dating, it was their turn to walk down the aisle, marrying in June 2000 at the “A Little White Wedding Chapel” in Las Vegas. The pair has two sons, Jackson and Beckett. However, after 17 years, Maines filed for divorce. No one’s quite sure why the marriage ended, but we’re going to have to take Maines’ rep’s answer of it being a “private family matter”.
Hillary Scott and Chris Tyrrell
One of the lead singers of country music group Lady Antebellum, Hillary Scott is next on our list. It was back in college that she met her now-husband, Chris Tyrrell. But the pair actually were apart for a while, and only began dating after Lady Antebellum and Tyrrell’s band 'Love and Theft' both opened for Tim McGraw’s 2010 Southern Voice Tour.
We suppose they were both getting their houses in order and ensuring each other’s success before pursuing a serious relationship. July 2010 was the summer that they started dating, and were quickly engaged when Tyrrell proposed in Tennessee. Married in January 2012, the pair announced they were expecting – Hilary gave birth to a daughter, Eisele Kaye, in July 2013.
Joe Don Rooney and Tiffany Fallon
A member of the Rascal Flats since 1992, Joe Don Rooney is quite the musical genius, playing the bass, mandolin, and even the banjo. His popularity and success no doubt would’ve attracted many women, but it was the model and beauty queen, Tiffany Fallon, who was to become the apple of his eye.
Fallon was also named Playmate of the Year in 2005! The couple was featured in the Playboy Cyber Club’s celebrity photographer section – with a nude pictorial of Fallon being shot by J.D. himself! The couple has three kids together: Jagger, Raquel, and Devon!
Reba McEntire and Narvel Blackstock
After empire-building together for decades, this pair who seemed happily married, decided to go their separate ways. Reba McEntire is a successful country music star and actress. As for her love life, she married her manager at the time, Narvel Blackstock, back in 1989. They had a beautiful ceremony, holding an intimate, private wedding in Lake Tahoe.
Blackstock married McEntire with three children from a previous marriage, but the pair now have one son together. After 26 years of marriage, the pair announced their separation in 2015, to the great shock of the country music community and fanbase. Fun trivia: did you know McEntire’s stepson Brandon is married to music sensation Kelly Clarkson?
Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert
Since Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, these two were definitely the most beloved country music couple. The petite blonde powerhouse and the goofy cowboy-boot-wearing lank seemed to be a charming couple. Until 2015, that is, when a scandal revealed they were getting a divorce. Apparently, there was a lot of disagreement between the two on starting a family.
The infamous drama came about when Shelton was allegedly discovered cheating on Miranda with The Voice co-judge, Gwen Stefani. After the scandal went nationwide, the pair quickly got a divorce, and Shelton has been with Stefani ever since.
