The couple met on the show back in 2014, and started dating after bonding over their recent divorces. They eventually got married in the country star's Oklahoma ranch in July of 2021, meaning the two haven't been together on the show since their nuptials.

She explained: "It'd just been a while and I didn't know what we were gonna act like."
