Kellie Pickler and husband Kyle Jacobs bonded over their musical backgrounds — however they selected to take their time earlier than getting hitched.
The American Idol alum met her future husband within the mid-2000s by way of a mutual pal. Whereas taking part in Us Weekly’s “Newlywed Game” in December 2015, the couple each recalled Jacobs’ pickup line as, “Hello, I’m Kyle. I’m a songwriter.”
Pickler joked about her response, telling Us, “I used to be like, ‘Nice,’” with a watch roll. “No, we began writing the following day,” she added.
Us confirmed in June 2010 that Jacobs got down on one knee after relationship for greater than two years. Almost 4 years later, the couple had been hit by tragedy when Jacobs died by apparent suicide in February 2023.
“Officers and Nashville Hearth Division personnel responded and positioned resident Kyle Jacobs, 49, deceased from an obvious self-inflicted gunshot wound in an upstairs bed room/workplace,” the Metropolitan Nashville Police stated in an announcement to Selection on the time. Pickler was reportedly dwelling when the incident came about.
