American country music artist Sunny Sweeney is just a real blessing for country music. Having released several albums, she’s a personal songwriter and makes music from the heart. It’s been said that she “rides out the storms of life through songs” (The Oklahoman). She even released her first album independently. We love it!
Following her signing, her next albums were recorded through the label, and to great success! Sweeney also found love and married her longtime boyfriend and partner, Jeff Hellmer. The pair were wed in Las Vegas on November 11th, 2011, making their anniversary date 11/11/11 – now if that isn’t a memorable date, we don’t know what is – no excuses for forgetting, Jeff!
Chely Wright and Lauren Blitzer
Chely Wright has been a sensational country music singer – even the Academy of Country Music named her Top New Female Vocalist in 1995. While she’s an incredible musician, Wright is also an outspoken gay rights activist. Growing up, Wright had to hide her relationships with women – apparently, her second relationship which lasted for almost a decade was the “love of my life” for Wright.
But in a rather surprising twist, Wright had an affair with country singer Brad Paisley, despite no having any romantic feelings for him. But after her fling with Paisley, Wright decided to come out as a lesbian to her family and the public. She’s since married, to LGBT rights activist Lauren Blitzer – the couple now have identical twin sons!
Luke Bryan and Caroline Boyer
The fact that Luke Bryan and Caroline Boyer found each other before fame is super sweet! College sweethearts, the pair met at a local bar while they both attended Georgia Southern University. After their romance in college, the pair finally got married in December 2006.
Luke Bryan began his career writing for the likes of Travis Tritt and Billy Currington, before signing on to Capitol Nashville with his cousin Chad Christopher Boyd. Caroline was his great support, and since then, the pair have had two sons together. In a sad twist, Bryan’s sister passed away, and as such, the pair are also raising their nephew Tilden.
Wynonna Judd and Cactus Moser
Wynonna Judd first gained fame performing alongside her mother Naomi, in the country music duo, The Judds. But in the early 90s, her career as a solo artist really blossomed. She found love with Arch Kelley III in 1996, but two years (and two kids) later, the couple divorced. Fast forward a few years, and Judd is now with her current spouse, Cactus Moser, known for his part in the band 'Highway 101'.
It hasn’t been easy riding, however – just months after their wedding, in June 2012, Moser was in a motorcycle accident which required his leg to be amputated. Overnight, Judd went from being “Wynonna the singer to Wynonna the wife, the nurse, the cook, the driver” – definitely a big ask for a newlywed – but the pair acknowledge that their marriage in fact grew stronger after the accident.
Randy Houser and Tatiana Starzynski
With a number of famous singles that have charted on the Mediabase Country Chart and Country Airplay Chart, it’s safe to say Randy Houser is quite established in the industry. When it comes to love though, things were a little more complicated. In 2011, he married Jessa Lee Yantz, with whom he had a child. Sadly, they ended it in 2014, with him ordering a restraining order!
Nowadays, he’s married to Australian-born beauty Tatiana Starzynski, with the pair marrying in May of 2016. The couple, after a long engagement, tied the knot, and it was announced just this year that the pair are expecting their first child together!
