On the front porch, I like to swing back and forth. I just like being around kind people, she continued. Despite being married in 2011, Pickler and Jacobs never had children together.
Kyle Jacobs was a talented singer, pianist, and guitarist in addition to being a gifted lyricist. In a 2015 interview with People, Kellie Pickler gushed about her husband, calling him “so brilliant at what he does.” The two had worked together on numerous occasions after they initially met. “Working with Kyle has been amazing, and I’m over the moon excited to be back in the studio recording a new album. He has been watching me play for years, so it was fantastic to be in the front row as an artist and see him in his environment, Pickler added.
Jacobs collaborated and wrote songs with some of the top country music performers, including Tim McGraw and Kelly Clarkson, an ex-American Idol competitor.

To his vast list of accomplishments, the talented composer added an Academy of Country Music Award in 2014 for composing and producing Lee Brice’s 2012 smash song “I Drive Your Truck.” Even though popularity and notoriety were fantastic things to have, Jacobs never wavered in his commitment to penning music that moved people. He wrote: “Creating music with lovely hearts in beautiful settings is one of my favorite things to do as a songwriter” in an Instagram post from 2021.

SWEEEET!!! This one was created by a remarkable group of people who are all very creative. He said in the caption. I’m really happy to have made a contribution of any kind… Jesus, God bless you!
