After the couple’s fateful first meeting in the late 2000s, a relationship both personal and professional blossomed.
However, their relationship not their careers or television show was the priority.
“Our marriage comes first.”
Take a look back at the timeline of Kellie Pickler and Kyle Jacobs' relationship.
In a 2015 appearance onThe Real, Pickler recounted the story of how the two met.
“I didn’t know who he was or what he did.
We just locked eyes and I went, ‘I gotta know everything about this person.'”
Luckily for Pickler, one of those mutual friends was able to make their introduction smooth.
By the end of the night, the two only had eyes and ears for each other.
Before long, they were dating.
In addition to embarking on a romantic relationship, Pickler and Jacobs also began working together professionally.
Pickler’s single “Feeling Tonight” was the first official release they shared.
As she put it, “It turned out to be the most amazing day of my life.
My whole world changed.
We both feel like we got my grandmother’s blessing.”
We had a little champagne and talked and laughed and cried."
Pickler told the publication that Jacobs performed a powerful act for her.
Pickler revealed that Jacobs had put even more effort into the proposal than she’d previously revealed.
The inside of the box contained more than an engagement ring.
It’s about the bride and groom and God."
She later told Parade that the trip was always part of their plan.
Pickler said, “It was so romantic!
She revealed that the soldiers enjoyed the couple’s visit, and even participated in making the stay special.
“It was the funniest thing.”
In 2015, the pair launched their reality series “I Love Kellie Pickler.”
But one of our favorite things that we can do is laugh.”
That definitely checks out based on how Pickler herself described the show toThe Country Noteahead of the first season.
As she shared, the couple was focused on keeping this light.
She said, “It’s all positive and all about our family and friends and our crazy adventures.
We just want to be a bright light and make people laugh and feel good.”
Pickler and Jacobs weren’t the only celebrities who visited as part of the USO tour that Christmas Eve.
“For them to do this is really special.”
The CEO of the USO, J.D.
Crouch II, told theU.S.
Department of Defensethat Pickler and Jacobs were immediately part of the team.
He said, “They were on board from the start.
Jeff, Robert and Gail also cleared their schedules in record time to be a part of this.”
She said, “I love being Aunt Kellie and that is perfect for me.”
The couple were previously cat parents to a feline named Pickles, but Jacobs was unfortunately allergic.
After finding out about Jacobs’ cat allergy, Pickler found a new home for Pickles.
I want everybody to be happy.
I want everybody to like me and I want to like everybody."
