While celebrity relationships don’t always have the best reputation, some couples manage to make it in the busy world the entertainment industry brings. Many actors, singers and other entertainers met their partners in the business and have become known as power couples. For example, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds worked together before dating and getting married. Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are another well-known couple, having been married for over 26 years.
And then there’s Brad Paisley and Kimberly Williams-Paisley. The former is a country music star while the latter is a well-known actress. Paisley has sold millions of albums and is the recipient of several awards and accolades. Many of his music does well on the country music charts, making him a highly respected artist in the industry. Some of his most popular songs include “Waitin’ on a Woman,” “Whiskey Lullaby” and “Remind Me.”
Williams-Paisley is known for her breakthrough performance in 1991’s “Father of the Bride” and its 1995 sequel. She has also starred in several made-for-TV movies, and guest starred on plenty of shows like “George Lopez,” “Nashville” and “According to Jim.”
Paisley and Williams-Paisley first met on the set of Paisley’s music video for “I’m Gonna Miss Her (The Fishin’ Song)” and began dating shortly after. It was clear they had a beautiful connection from the beginning, and their love story quickly flourished. The pair tied the knot in 2003, just two years after dating.
Now, the couple has been married for 19 years and has a beautiful family. Read on to learn more about their heartwarming love story.

Paisley and Williams-Paisley have been a beautiful couple for over 20 years, loving each other as husband and wife for 19 of those years. Before they were the power couple they are today, they had a very charming meeting. During an interview on “The Meredith Vieira Show,” Williams-Paisley spoke about how her husband first met her because he loved her performance in “Father of the Bride.”
The country music star saw the movie with his then-girlfriend at the time, but it clearly didn’t work out for the pair. However, Paisley couldn’t stop thinking about the pretty actress in the movie and decided to give her a call several years later. As “I’m Gonna Miss Her” is rumored to be about Paisley’s ex-girlfriend, it was only fitting that his now-wife star in the song’s music video, as her movie had been a pivotal point in their relationship.
Paisley and Williams-Paisley began dating shortly after and got engaged in less than a year, according to the latter. On Mar. 15, 2003, they officially became husband and wife, and Williams-Paisley – formally known as Kimberly Williams – added her new husband's surname to her own. The pair used to have a home in Pacific Palisades in Los Angeles but now reside in Franklin, Tennessee.
In February 2007, the couple became parents, welcoming their first son, William Huckleberry “Huck” Paisley in Nashville. They had their second son, Jasper Warren Paisley, in April 2009. According to PEOPLE, Jasper’s middle name comes from Paisley’s grandfather, who was the one who encouraged Paisley to pursue music professionally and even gave the country star his first guitar.

While the Paisley household certainly holds a lot of love, the country music singer-songwriter and his wife also have a lot of compassion for others. Paisley and Williams-Paisley broke ground on a non-profit grocery store back in 2019, appropriately named The Store. Set up like a food pantry, The Store is designed to help Nashville residents in need, according to NBC News. The Tennessean reported that Paisley and Williams-Paisley were inspired to start the non-profit after taking their kids to volunteer at another organization.
The couple has repeatedly shown how kind-hearted they are to others and, of course, to each other. From the beginning of their relationship, Paisley knew he and his future wife had a strong connection. “We just felt like all the events of our lives had come together for us to meet right when we did,” he told Good Housekeeping.
And now, 19 years into marriage, the pair is stronger than ever. According to PEOPLE, the duo sits down together on their wedding anniversary every year to write down their favorite memories from the past 365 days. Williams-Paisley explained:
“We record the meaningful moments, the best laughs. That’s a big part of our relationship – focusing on the laughter and keeping a sense of play.”
The actress also commended her husband for his “gigantic heart,” appreciating how much he cares “about all creatures, great and small.”
For Paisley, seeing his wife care for his kids warms his heart. “You keep our house afloat – seeing you give birth to two kids and raise a third one is amazing,” he joked. “And you try to do the right thing all the time.”
