Luke Bryan Marriage Guru!

Just add marriage guru and love expert to Country Mega Star Luke Bryan’s resume.  The Knock’n Boots crooner spilled the tea in an exclusive with People magazine about the secret to happiness in his almost decade and a half long marriage to wife Caroline.  Ya wanna know what the secret is…?  Alcohol.  Bryan says, “Caroline and I are used to spending quite a bit of time apart, and now I’m just here every day.  And went onto say that inserting alcohol in parts of the relationship — “it does a really, really good job for us.  I’m playing!”  He says that communication is critical and never go to bed mad.

Garth and Tricia Possible Covid Exposure

Garth Brooks and his lovely wife Trisha Yearwood have cancelled everything on their plate for the next two weeks because of possibly being exposed to the COVIDS. They were about to co-host the Ellen DeGeneres Show but someone in their crew tested positive for the coronavirus and now time to stay home. This will mark the second time that country’s royal couple have had to quarantine.  Brooks took to twitter saying, “The Queen and I will be quarantining, living on love, and testing every 72 hours. Our thoughts and prayers are with the one person in this group that has already tested positive.” 

Russell Dickerson On Calming Down His Newborn

Russell Dickerson’s newborn baby boy is a fan of the country!  The country star’s wife Kailey gave birth to their first child, a baby boy named Remington Edward and when the spawn of country greatness starts crying, mommy and daddy have a trick …they play papa’s music! Dickerson says the couple have discovered “whenever the little man gets fussy in the car, I’ll put on the title track of my album Southern Symphony and it is immediate.  As soon as it starts, we turn it up and he stops crying.  It’s the craziest things.”
