The \"Where We Started\" singer was just 22, and still in the early stages of forming his country music career, when he and Akins married in 2012.

Since then, the singer's marriage and family life have been major components of his career. He's put out several songs about Akins, the first and perhaps most famous of which is \"Die a Happy Man.\"

Akins has become a star in her own right, too: In 2020, she put out a memoir called \"Live in Love: Growing Together Through Life's Changes,\" which details their relationship from her perspective.
