Pop Stars With Gorgeous Husbands
Over the years, pop stars' private lives have become more and more accessible. These days, most have their personal lives plastered all over their Instagram and Twitter accounts, not to mention the tabloids. This means it's never been easier to get juicy details about their personal relationships — and nothing is more interesting than peeking inside the romantic relationships of a superstar!
Pop stars are notorious for their tumultuous love lives. From Madonna and her long list of exes (via Los Angeles Times) to Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale's infamous divorce (via CBS News), it's clear that plenty of music icons find it hard to settle down for good. Despite their reputations of having loads of ups and downs in the lives, some pop stars have managed to seal the deal with some of the world's hunkiest guys. Let's take a look at some pop stars who have married truly gorgeous husbands and, in some cases, started beautiful families.
Pop star Pink married this super affectionate motocross racer
Pink has always been known for her edgy, honest pop music. In her long and successful career, she has released chart-toppers like "So What," "Raise Your Glass," and "Just Give Me a Reason," according to Billboard. When it comes to her personal life, Pink seems to be just as successful. She met motocross racer Carey Hart in 2001, according to USA Today, and they were married in 2006 (via Metro). Since then, their relationship has been filled with some truly adorable, touching moments.
In 2019, Pink shared an Instagram post featuring a massive bouquet and a heartwarming note left by her husband for the last show of her tour. In the note, the pop star's husband said she had "pulled off the impossible" with her amazing career. "I love you so much, and can't wait to celebrate with you after the tour," he went on to say.
The note is especially touching considering the fact that the couple has had their ups and downs. As Pink told Ellen DeGeneres in 2016, the couple has taken two breaks over the years. Judging by his adorable note, it's clear that Hart is just as deeply in love with his wife as when they were first married, despite their difficult patches. As of 2020, the pair have two children (via People).
Regina Spektor and her musician husband have found a way to make parenthood work with their careers
Anyone who is into indie pop will be familiar with Regina Spektor, who became popular with successful albums like 2009's Far (via Billboard). Notably, Spektor's husband, Jack Dishel, is also a musician, known for his work under the professional name Only Son (via Variance). They have even collaborated on songs like "Call Them Brothers."
The pop star and her husband have always come across as a pretty grounded and happy couple. In 2014, they welcomed a son into their family, as Spektor announced on Facebook. Spektor spoke to Loud and Quiet about how her family life was going as a wife, mother, and musician. She said, "To Me, motherhood has been an incredible experience." However, she clarified that it might not be right for everyone. "I have a lot of support around me, I have a husband who also wanted this, and we're both artists and prioritizing staying artists and being parents," she explained.
Sounds like Spektor and Dishel support each other both personally and professionally — it doesn't get much better than that!
Pop star Hilary Duff plays pranks on her adorable musician husband
We all know her as the Disney Channel actress who gave us Lizzie McGuire, but Hilary Duff has had a stunning transformation and has enjoyed a music career. Her album Breathe In, Breathe Out, released in 2015, was described by Glamour as "the literal definition of a bop." It was during the recording for this album that Duff got close with musician Matthew Koma (via Us Weekly).
In 2018, the couple announced on Instagram they were expecting a baby girl, and in 2019, the two were married in an intimate ceremony, as reported by Just Jared. And, by the looks of things, they have a seriously cute relationship.
In April 2020, Duff and Koma took to Instagram Live to answer questions and play songs for fans. Watching the couple sing and chat together is enough to melt your heart. Duff did admit, however, that the couple have had their spats. But rather than argue, Duff, one of several former pop stars who live insanely lavish lives, prefers to prank her husband by taking stuff Koma needs like their filming light or his phone. "Instead of fighting, just get even. It's the best," she joked. It seems like even their arguments are adorable!
Ciara's good-looking husband always knew she was the one
After unforgettable early 2000s tracks like "1, 2 Step" and "Goodies," Ciara has certainly made a name for herself over the years. As it turns out, Ciara's husband is pretty well known himself. In 2016, she married Russell Wilson of Seattle Seahawks fame. According to Forbes, he was the highest-paid NFL player in 2019.
In an interview, Wilson explained how he had always imagined ending up with Ciara. He said, "Funny thing is I told somebody that that's the girl I wanted to be with before I even met her." In fact, Wilson seemed pretty confident that the pair were destined to be. He went on to explain, "I was like, 'I'm probably going to end up with Ciara.'" It seems that Wilson did have some kind of sixth sense as the couple did end up getting married and have been going strong ever since! The couple share two children, and Ciara has a son from another relationship (via Elle).
Jessica Simpson is one pop star who clearly adores her husband
The stunning Jessica Simpson was once the "It girl" of the pop world, with fan-favorite albums like In This Skin, Irresistible, and Do You Know (via Billboard) and her own reality show about her first marriage with singer Nick Lachey, Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica. Since then, Simpson has managed to forge a successful relationship with her partner, Eric Johnson, a former NFL player, whom she married in 2014. As noted by Us Weekly, the couple dated for four years and had two kids before eventually tying the knot. Apparently, Johnson even dropped out of a business program just to be with Simpson.
In 2020, the pop star opened up about how much her husband means to her. In an Instagram post in honor of their sixth wedding anniversary, Simpson described him as her "perfect soulmate." She went on to say, "Our unity was written in God's sky of colliding stars." It's clear that Simpson has finally settled into a healthy, longterm relationship that works for her.
Pop star Mandy Moore wrote her first album in 11 years thanks to her second husband
You may remember Mandy Moore as a teen singer who produced catchy pop anthems in the '90s and 2000s. Despite her early music success, Moore has spent many years focusing on acting rather than music. And there was a long time when the star thought her music career was over for good — that is, until Mandy Moore's second husband, Taylor Goldsmith, came into her life. According to InStyle, the couple met when Moore gave Goldsmith's band, Dawes, a shoutout on Instagram. Sounds like a truly modern romance!
In 2020, Moore released a new album, Silver Landings, the pop star's first in 11 years, according to The Washington Post. She told USA Today about how Goldsmith helped to reinvigorate her career and how traveling with Goldsmith's band had a "contagious" effect. "It was a real light-bulb moment of, 'I have to figure out a way to find myself on stage again,'" Moore explained. Goldsmith even collaborated with Moore on her 2020 album.
And how did working together affect their marriage? "It only has strengthened our relationship and made us closer," the This Is Us star said. We love how the right man helped Moore get her music career back on track!
Pop star Ellie Goulding married her dreamy husband in a fairy tale ceremony
Pop star Ellie Goulding has a career that just keeps getting better. In 2015, she broke a worldwide streaming record for her steamy song "Love Me Like You Do." In 2019, it was announced that 14 Goulding tracks had made it into the Billboard Top 100 this century — the most of any British female artist! And her sparkling music career isn't the only thing that Goulding is doing right. In 2019, the singer tied the knot with the dreamy art dealer, Caspar Jopling. According to Evening Standard, Jopling comes from an aristocratic family and is friends with Princess Eugenie.
Judging by accounts of the event from BBC News, the wedding was nothing short of a British fairy tale — which is unsurprising considering Jopling's lofty connections! The couple were married in the picturesque York Minster cathedral, before a reception at a real life castle. Plenty of high-caliber guests were in attendance, including Orlando Bloom, Katy Perry, Jimmy Carr, and even a few members of the royal family. Sounds like Goulding had the wedding that every little girl dreams of!
Miranda Lambert and her husband share a love of animals
Singer Miranda Lambert came into prominence after competing on reality show Nashville Star. Lambert spent a few years married to fellow musician Blake Shelton. Years after her divorce from Shelton in 2015, Lambert revealed in a 2019 Instagram post that she'd married NYPD officer Brendan McLoughlin in a secret ceremony. "With Brendan, I made it a point to keep it as private as I could for as long as I could," she told People that year. While the adorable couple was initially pretty secretive, the two are now pretty active on social media.
Lambert has always been a serious animal lover. In 2016, she shared an Instagram post about how she had added two dogs to her family, making a total of seven. Luckily, her husband seems to share her love of animals. In 2020, Lambert posted an adorable animal story about her husband that melted fans' hearts. Apparently, McLoughlin made a U-turn on the highway to rescue a stray kitten! Lambert gushed about her husband, "I guess the rescue ways are rubbing off on him." Sounds like these two are a match made in heaven!
Pop star Jessie Ware started dating her husband when she was a teen
British songstress Jessie Ware is famous for her haunting vocal quality and her uniquely sophisticated pop music. Rolling Stone described her 2020 album, What's Your Pleasure, as "a sumptuous tribute to both peak- and post-disco." Ware's family life also has a decidedly grown-up feel, much like her music. Unlike some pop stars, who seem to thrive on drama and chaotic lifestyles, Ware has a pretty calm home life.
Ware is decidedly settled down with her husband, Sam Burrows. According to Burrows' personal website, he is a well-known personal trainer based in East London. As the singer explained to The Guardian, the pair have been together since they were 18, which means they "know everything about each other." And how do they spend their time these days? Well, in 2017, Burrows took to Instagram to reveal that Ware works out with him in the park, and, in 2018, the couple were spotted with their baby at a London music festival (via Daily Mail). We are loving the chilled-out vibes of this couple!
Shania Twain and her husband got together after their exes had an affair
Shania Twain came out with some real pop-country anthems back in the day. From "That Don't Impress Me Much" to "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!" it's hard not to love Twain's feel-good songs. What many Twain fans don't realize though is that she and her husband have quite an odd love story. The pair actually started a romance after their now-exes had an affair!
It turns out Twain's first husband was having an affair with her best friend. Nobody would have expected what happened next — Twain ended up divorcing her husband and marrying her best friend's ex, Frédéric Thiébaud!
Twain explained in a post on her website how their mutual breakups had brought them together. "Having gone through the suffering of his family splitting apart at the same time and under the same extreme circumstances, he understands me better than anyone," she said (via People). Twain and Thiébaud have certainly proven that true love can come from some pretty strange situations!
Vanessa Carlton would never walk a thousand miles for any man... except her husband
When the name Vanessa Carlton is mentioned, her 2002 song "A Thousand Miles" probably springs to mind. While Carlton is definitely best known for this one song, the singer is still making music. Her 2020 album, Love is an Art, was praised for its "worldly wisdom" by Pitchfork. And it does seem that Carlton has done a lot of growing up since her earlier days.
In 2013, the pop star revealed on Twitter that she had tied the knot with fellow musician John McCauley, who's known for being a singer-guitarist for Deer Tick, as reported by Rolling Stone. In 2015, the couple welcomed a baby girl into their family, as announced by McCauley on Instagram.
In a 2020 Instagram Live with Vulture, Carlton explained that she's grown up a lot since writing "A Thousand Miles" as a teen. She joked that she would now never walk that far for any man, but was quick to clarify that she might make an exception for her husband.
Pop star Natasha Bedingfield and her husband have been through tough times
Natasha Bedingfield is, without a doubt, best known for her smash hit song "Unwritten." The song was the theme for the popular show The Hills, and it quickly became, as the Los Angeles Times put it, "the anthem for a generation." But while fans know about Bedingfield's music, do they know about her personal life?
The singer has certainly been through both ups and downs. In 2009, she married Matt Robinson, an American businessman, in a Malibu wedding, as reported by Irish Examiner. According to People, the ceremony occurred outside at California's Church Estates Vineyards. The two had reportedly started dating back in 2006. On New Year's Eve 2017, the couple welcomed their son into the world, as Bedingfield revealed on Instagram. However, in 2019, things took a turn for the worse.
Bedingfield and Robinson's son, Solomon, developed a brain infection that required multiple surgeries, as Bedingfield told People. Fortunately, Solomon recovered, and the pop star has been enjoying some well-deserved family time with her husband and her son.
