The country singer — best known for his hits 'A Country Boy Can Survive', 'All My Rowdy Friends' and 'Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound' — met Thomas back in 1985 at one of his concerts in Washington State. In 1990, they made it official by tying the knot before welcoming their children: Katie and son Samuel, now 25.
