ALAN AND DENISE JACKSON – 41 YEARS

Alan Jackson and his wife Denise have long been one of country music fans’ favorite payoffs, but the decades-long love story is more than witnessed. The couple met as teenagers and were high school sweethearts. Denise didn’t even have to change her name when she got married because her maiden name was Jackson. Alan and Denise Jackson have more than half of their lives together. They started dating when they were still in high school. In 1979, they decided to tie the knot in their hometown in Georgia.

After six years, they moved to Nashville so that Alan could pursue his dreams. Denise did everything she can to help her husband create a name in the country music genre. Denise succeeded, and Alan has an incredible music career. However, in 1998, Alan had an affair that affected their relationship. They got separated and might have almost called their divorce lawyers, but they reconciled in 1999, choosing to stay at each other’s side no matter what.v
