THE country vocal group Little Big Town is made up of the same four founding members.
Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip Sweet, and Jimi Westbrook started the band in Homewood, Alabama, back in the late 1990s, and now fans want to know more about the members’ relationships.

Which members of Little Big Town are married?
Since starting the band, each member of Little Big Town has tied the knot, and two of them are even married to each other.
Fairchild and Westbrook got married in May 2006 but kept it a secret from fans for months.
“I think Jimi and I had a special friendship and connection that blossomed when we were both single,” Fairchild explained during a 2010 interview with Us Weekly.
“Sometimes you just have to cross that line and take a chance, and when we had that opportunity, we did. Of course, we didn’t want to mess up the band, but we decided it was worth the risk.”
Since tying the knot, Fairchild and Westbrook have welcomed one child, a son named Elijah Dylan Westbrook.
Schlapman also tied the knot in 2006 to her second husband, Stephen Schlapman.
She was previously married to a man by the name of Steven Roads, who passed away in 2005 from a sudden heart attack, according to CMT.com.
In 2007, Sweet then married a woman by the name of Rebecca Arthur.

When did Little Big Town become a band?
Over the years Little Big Town has released several albums and countless hits, including Pontoon, Girl Crush, Better Man, Day Drinking, and Little White Church.
The group’s music dates back to 1998 when Fairchild, Schlapman, Sweet, and Westbrook founded it.
What some fans might not know is that Little Big Town actually started out as a duo between Fairchild and Schlapman, who became friends and collaborators while studying at Samford University.
It was not until a decade later that they added Westbrook and Sweet to the mix, according to Sounds Like Nashville.

“We’ve had such an epic time of creating over the last 20 years, and [we’ve had] the opportunity to do so many things that I don’t think we would have ever been able to dream up,” Fairchild said in a 2022 interview with Billboard.
“And yet every year, I wonder, ‘Is there something that we haven’t done?’ And I know there are things that are around the corner, so I think we’re always looking ahead.”
How can I watch Superfan?
In addition to releasing albums and going on tour, Little Big Town has also made multiple television appearances.
In August 2023, they will appear on an episode of the unscripted CBS game show Superfan to determine who the group’s ultimate “superfan” is.
The episode can be watched live on August 30, 2023, starting at 9pm EST on CBS.
