The Touching Story Of How Brad Paisley Met His Wife Of More Than 20 Years

Many people know the name Brad Paisley and many people know his wife Kimberly Williams Paisley. But the story of how Brad Paisley met his wife is a sweet, almost unbelievable, straight-from-Hollywood story, literally. 

At 19, most kids don’t know what they want to do tomorrow, let alone what they want to be when they grow up. Well, in 1991, Brad was on a date to see “Father of the Bride.” He remembers noticing Kimberly on the big screen. Soon after that, Brad’s date broke up with him for his best friend. So, when the sequel came out four years later, he went to see it by himself.

He went to the same showing on the same day as his previous date in hopes that she might come and they could mend their relationship.  Well, she didn’t show. 

But Brad’s disappointment was short-lived when he saw Kimberly on the screen again. He remembers thinking, “she seems like a great girl — smart and funny and all those things that are so hard to find.”

Brad says that Kimberly and the life they’ve built together give him more to write about. He told Good Housekeeping, "Before, I had nothing to write about but failed relationships and life on the road. Now, I feel emotions more deeply in every sense. When you feel that kind of love ... it even makes for better songs."

This duo is as sweet as it is hilarious. The couple is known to post hilarious pictures and videos on Instagram and Facebook. They live in Nashville, TN, and have two children, Huck and Jasper.
