Tyler Hubbard and his wife, Hayley Hubbard, are a country couple that is meant to be, with a love story that has even inspired multiple songs.
“The truth was me and Tyler were both having hard days that day,” Bebe Rexha told reporters at CMA Fest in 2018 of working with the former Florida Georgia Line crooner on their “Meant to Be” duet. “Tyler told me that he had a rough day, so when he was in the elevator coming back down from dinner, his wife told him that, ‘If it’s meant to be it’ll be.’ Not knowing that they were pregnant at the same time. It’s crazy that all that happened. As the song started growing, they had a baby and now it’s just amazing.”
Tyler — who sang in Florida Georgia Line alongside Brian Kelley until their September 2022 breakup — and Hayley have been together since early 2013.
“When I quit my job at Merrill Lynch and was about to move back to California, a friend of mine told me to pray about the move and that he didn’t think I should leave. So, I did. I asked God to make it clear,” she recalled on her now-defunct blog, the Vogue Trip, referring to Tyler. “As I was signing my Cali lease the next day, my boss came up to me and said he would double my salary if I would stay. I looked up and almost laughed in his face. I had gotten my clarity. One month later that same friend, who is now my fiancé, gave me my last first kiss. Boy, am I glad I stayed.”
One year later, Tyler proposed to Hayley during a romantic helicopter ride. They tied the knot in July 2015 in Hayley’s native Sun Valley, Idaho.
While raising three little ones and balancing thriving careers — Tyler released his debut solo LP in January 2023 while Hayley has found success as a lifestyle blogger and podcaster — they have remained happily in love.
“It’s part of connecting,” the Grammy nominee said of the pair’s relationship during a March 2021 episode of Hayley’s “Meaning Full Living” podcast. “Intimacy is part of a strong marriage, and, you know, a strong marriage leads to strong parenting. It’s important. [We began] making that a priority and just making time to connect. … I remember some nights we just didn’t have sex, we were like, ‘No, let’s just lay here and watch a movie,’ and just held hands or kind of held each other. Just a way to connect. We’ve been pretty intentional about it.”
Nearly three years earlier, the duo exclusively revealed to Us in September 2018 that their typical date nights ranged from cooking dinner at home in their pajamas to “getting all dressed up and having a fun night out.”
