Randy Travis and Mary Davis
With a long career beginning in 1978, Randy Travis recorded 20 studio albums, as well as charting over 50 singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. There’s no doubt he’s very successful, but his love life is another matter. The 60-year-old has been married twice, first divorcing his wife Lib Hatcher, of 19 years, as well as ending their business relationship.
He remarried in 2015, tying the knot with Mary Davis. It was rather scandalous for Travis, as he allegedly was caught cheating with Mary, who was his dentist at the time!
Glen Campbell and Kimberly Woollen
The much-loved country music artist Glen Campbell had an epic career, spanning 50 years. Sadly, Campbell passed away in August of 2017, losing his battle to Alzheimer’s disease. The Arkansas-born singer is best known for his hits throughout the 60s and 70s, as well as for hosting the music and comedy variety show, The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour. Having sold over 45 million records worldwide, Campbell will forever be remembered as a legend of the industry.
His love life was somewhat more complex, having been married four times. However, his fourth wife, Kimberley Woollen, seemed to stand the test of time, tying the knot in 1982, and remaining married up until his passing. Within the four marriages, Campbell fathered eight children, with his daughter Ashley Campbell going on to follow in his father’s footsteps as a country musician. That’s a nice tribute.
Kacey Musgraves and Ruston Kelly
Kacey Musgraves made a name for herself with a stunning debut album in Golden Hour. The singer-songwriter has won six Grammys, four CMA Awards and three Academy of Country Music Awards. She’s gone on to collaborate with some of the biggest names in the business, like Dierks Bentle. Musgraves is married to fellow singer-songwriter, Ruston Kelly.
They’ve got a pretty cute love story too – the pair met at the Bluebird Café in Nashville, where Kacey heard him play. She introduced herself and the two organized to do some songwriting together. The pair got married in October 2017. “It was just like when Dorothy opens a door in the Wizard of Oz, and the world turns into color from black and white", said Musgraves.
Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher
The drop-dead gorgeous blonde bombshell is perhaps the most recognizable female country singer in the world. With her strong but sweet voice, the former American Idol winner has gone from strength to strength. As for the lucky man in her life, Underwood is married to NHL player, Mike Fisher.
Clearly, Fisher had a bit of a crush and met the beautiful Carrie backstage at one of her concerts, in 2008. They were engaged just a year later! The pair tied the knot in 2010 in Georgia, and in 2015, announced the arrival of their first child – Isaiah Michael.
Alan and Denise Jackson
Now, this is one for the books! This pair met back in high school and stuck it through thick and thin. They married in 1979, and six years later, they moved to Nashville to pursue Alan’s dream. Denise, however, was the rock who held fast and helped him get his start in country music.
At the time, she was working as a flight attendant and met Glen Campbell, who took an interest in Denise’s musically ambitious husband – as a result, the country legend helped Alan to land a record deal with Arista Records. Fast forward and the couple have three daughters. But eventually, an affair on Alan’s part shook the relationship. They separated, but amazingly got back together, and have stuck by each other ever since.
