Members of the iconic country group Little Big Town, next on our list is the beloved couple, Karen Fairchild and Jimi Westbrook. The band describes itself as “one big marriage”, and this is particularly fitting for Karen and Jimi. However, when the band formed in 1998, Karen was actually married to her first husband. A few years later, they divorced, and Karen and Jimi started dating.
They walked down the aisle in May 2006, having a very low-key, intimate wedding. Their relationship has always been hush-hush, and we don’t blame them – for people used to the spotlight, surely it’s nice to be able to have some privacy. The couple has a son together, Elijah.
Toby Keith Covel and Tricia Covel
Married to his long-time love Tricia Lucus, next up is Toby Keith Covel. Now, this pair has a pretty cute story – they met in a nightclub in Oklahoma in 1981, when Toby was 20 and Tricia just 19. Three years later, the pair tied the knot and have been happily married ever since!
They have three children together: Shelley, who was actually adopted the year the couple was wed, and two other children: Krystal and son, Stelen. Covel is actually a grandfather now too, with his adopted daughter Shelley having two kids of her own!
Kenny Rogers and Wanda Miller
To be performing at 78 years old is impressive enough, but not so hard to believe when it comes to legendary country singer, Kenny Rogers. It’s not been an easy road for Rogers – but the hard work has clearly paid off since he is now a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame. As for his love life, he's been married a staggering five times!
However, his current wife, Wanda Miller, seems to be the one that will last. Married in 1997, the pair have been together for over twenty years, and have had two children together.
Jake and Lacey Owen
After three years of marriage, this pair surprised adoring fans by parting ways. But before we get to that, let us introduce Jake Owen first. A country music singer who quickly rose to fame after touring with greats such as Little Big Town, Sugarland, Keith Urban, and more, Jake's been hot property for a while now. But even hotter still was his wife to be – Lacey Buchanan. The model caught Jake's eye during a music video shoot.
In a very romantic move, Owen proposed onstage during one of his concerts in 2012. The very next month, the pair tied the knot in Vero Beach, Florida. Just months later, the pair welcomed their first child – Olive Pearl, on November 2012. But it seems that the couple had issues brewing under the surface of what seemed like an idyllic marriage, deciding to part ways in August 2015.
Chris Carmack and Erin Slaver
Chris Carmack is up next on our list! Best known for appearing in cult TV series, The O.C, as Luke Was, as well as on Grey’s Anatomy, this actor is actually quite talented as a musician. Perhaps his role as Will Lexington on Nashville prompted him to give country music a go.
He released an EP titled Pieces of You in 2015, and while his career was taking off, he decided to propose to his girlfriend, fiddle player Erin Slaver. Around the same time, this gorgeous couple announced that Erin was pregnant, giving birth to a baby girl in August of 2016!
