Kyle and Kellie’s Relationship

Kellie Pickler and Kyle Jacobs met in the mid-2000s through a mutual friend. While playing Us Weekly’s “Newlywed Game” in December 2015 in a bar. The couple hit it off right then and started dating.

They weren’t in a rush to get married right away. In 2009, during the radio show, GAC Nights: Live From Nashville, she revealed:

“I’m not ready — I’m 22, I just started out — I’m not ready to put my husband first. [I’ll wait until] I’m to a point into my career where I can say, ‘This can come in second and I’m ready to have a family.’”

They were crazy about each other already back then and the singer “couldn’t imagine being with anyone else.”

In June 2010, it was confirmed that after more than two years of dating, Kyle got down on one knee.

The next year, on January 1, 2011, the couple exchanged wedding vows in Antigua. They did not have any children from their marriage but had two dogs together.
