Top 10 Country Celebrity Couples
When Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert tied the knot in May, it was the first time two major country stars had married since Garth Brooks married Trisha Yearwood in 2005. But where would you rank them on a Top 10 list of country celebrity couples? Take a look at our list and see if you’d agree:
#10: Vince Gill & Amy Grant- When these two married back on March 10, 2000, it brought together two superstars: One in country music, and the other in contemporary Christian. The marriage has been a success, and even produced a girl, Corinna, who just turned 10.
#9: Clint Black & Lisa Hartman Black- Hard to believe, but they celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary this year! And their daughter Lily is now 10. Clint & Lisa will forever be in our minds for their 1999 duet, “When I Said I Do.”
#8: George Jones & Tammy Wynette- They were the Blake & Miranda of their time. They were both at the height of their careers when they married in 1969. Sadly, the marriage only lasted 6 years.
#7: Shania Twain & Mutt Lange- When they married in December of 1993, neither were well known in country music. But when Shania’s second album was released in 1995, it turned the two into country giants. They only made 3 albums together, but they sold over 60 million copies. The two divorced last year.
#6: Blake Shelton & Miranda Lambert- Like George & Tammy in 1969, they are now among the top artists in country music. She is a Grammy winner, Platinum-selling superstar, and he has 9 #1 hits to his name, plus a stint on a top-rated TV show.
#5: Brad Paisley & Kimberly Williams- Their relationship has become the subject of his hit songs. He once went to her movies, and now they’re married with two young boys.
#4: Keith Urban & Nicole Kidman- Like Brad & Kim, their relationship brought together country music and the movies. They’re the parents of two baby girls, plus two children from Nicole’s marriage to Tom Cruise.
#3: Garth Brooks & Trisha Yearwood- They had been friends for over 20 years, but husband & wife since 2005. The two have devoted themselves to raising Garth’s three daughters.
#2: Tim McGraw & Faith Hill- They met when Faith toured with Tim in 1996, and married later that year. The two will celebrate their 15th anniversary this year.
#1: Johnny Cash & June Carter- Like Blake & Miranda or George & Tammy, they were country superstars when they married in 1968. June had the added pressure of being from country’s legendary Carter family. But the marriage worked and lasted until their respective deaths, just four months apart, in 2003.
