Sweeter than strawberry wine Chris StapletonAnd Morgane StapletonCountry music fans love a love story.
Four years after they met as songwriters in Nashville, the couple tied the knot in October 2007. Morgane reflected on how much her life has changed since Chris joined her in celebrating their 14th anniversary, October 2021.
“14 years today. I don’t remember much about life before you. Thank you for loving and supporting me. Thank you for hearing me. Thank you for teaching us. Thank you for respecting me,” she gushed via Instagram alongside a romantic black-and-white photo. “Thank you for giving me everything I cherish in this life. I love you more than I’ll ever be able to put into words, but I’ll spend the rest of my time here on earth trying. Happy anniversary my love!”
The musicians share five children — a daughter and four sons — whose names have all been kept private. Chris and Morgane make a great team as parents, but they also have a great time in the studio.
“My wife has great taste in everything but men,” the “Say Something” crooner joked during a 2015 interview with The Washington Post. “The vast majority of the songs on my debut album, Traveller, came from lists she made.”
More than a decade into their relationship, Morgane is still in awe of her husband’s writing talent. “I was like, ‘F–k you for being able to do this,’” she told the outlet of “Daddy Doesn’t Pray Anymore,” one of her favorites. “This is the most emotional, saddest country song I’ve ever heard and you just spit it out in 10 minutes.”
Fans can feel the love between the couple when they perform together on stage. “We can lift each other up on bad nights, kind of give each other a wink when we screw up or do something funny,” the Kentucky native told The New York TimesIn 2017, of being present with his wife.
Morgane recalled asking Chris’ team for “volumes of his songs, CDs of everything he’d ever written up until that point” before their romance began, telling the newspaper, “I was singing with Chris long before he knew I was singing with him. … As much as I can talk about him being a comfort to me, I think in that way I also am a comfort to him. We can look at each other and know, ‘OK, I got you.’”
