There are so many hot couples in the music industry and all of them are intriguing. The country music world is no exception. It always peaks our interest when a new couple gets together, weds or separates. Besides for our interest, these events certainly serve as inspiration for many of our favorite songs. For example, famous singer Dylan Scott has said his wife Blair inspired a number of his songs including the hit romantic single “My Girl.”
The country music world is filled with famous couples, but also drama in our opinion. For example, there is the very famous example of LeAnne Rimes and Eddie Cibria. LeAnne has been a famous singer since her teenage years, and Eddie Cibria is a famous actor. They were both married to other people when they began their affair. Many in the media called them both “home wreckers,” and it certainly effected both of their careers and caused them personal difficulties. Despite all the pressure to stay apart, the two both left their respected spouses and were married. Their relationship is so interesting VH1 decided to produce a reality television show about it. Cibria’s ex, Brandi Glanville, is a famous reality television star who and has continually spoken out about how both of their actions were cruel and how hurt she was. Brandi recently was on the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills where she discusses her failed marriage and she even wrote a bestselling book about it. This is just one example of a dramatic country music relationship. Dolly Parton’s marital and alleged extra marital affairs are also interesting. There have been many rumors that she has been unfaithful with her husband of over 50 years with numerous men and even one woman. The media reported the two have no children together because her husband doesn’t trust her. She is rumored to have cheated on him with an attorney friend, country superstar Billy Rae Cyrus, and female childhood friend Judy Ogle.
More recently is the relationship between America’s new favorite couple: Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton. Shelton was married to famous country star Miranda Lambert before he met Gwen. They met on the set of TV show, The Voice. They were both judges. The media began to speculate they were having an affair. Shelton divorced Lambert, and Stefani separated from her previous husband the year before. After Shelton’s divorce was finalized, he began dating Gwen. The two are allegedly planning a wedding later this year.
