After mending her broken heart, Kellie Pickler found love again with Nashville songwriter Kyle Jacobs. The pair started dating around 2008, and the singer gushed to People at the time about their budding romance. “He makes me feel so good about being me,” she admitted. The pair went on to get engaged in 2010 and tie the knot the following year in the Caribbean. Their elopement wasn’t complete without their a touch of personality for Jacobs’ wedding ring, with Pickler engraving the date of their wedding, “1-1-11,” on one side and the words “Put it back on!” on the other, as she shared on “The Ellen Show.”
The couple spent their honeymoon giving back, and they took a trip together overseas to visit military troops. “It’s one of the more beautiful things that we’ve ever done,” Jacobs admitted on the “Talk to Chuck” podcast, with Pickler chiming in to say her husband’s “got a good heart! He’s a good man.”
The two were more than just life partners, but business partners as well. Jacobs produced several songs for successful country artist Lee Brice, and he later worked together with his wife on her track “Feeling Tonight” in 2015. “Yes, it’s true, I’m sleeping with my producer!” Pickler joked to People about their multi-faceted relationship. “I’m so excited to be in the studio again recording a new album, and working with Kyle has been amazing,” she exclaimed. “He has watched me perform for years, so it was great to have a front-row seat as an artist and see him in his element.”
