Eric Church and his wife, Katherine Blasingame, are not one of country music's showiest couples, but they're still going strong after a decade of marriage.
Eric Church isn t afraid to raise a little hell and be an outsider and with that attitude and his outlaw country vibes, he s been able to build an incredibly successful country music career from the ground up. But there are three people that get him to show his tender side: his two sons, Boone and Hawk, and his wife, Katherine Blasingame.
Church s wife, a music publisher, was in the music business before he was, and they met through work: She was trying to hook me up to write with one of her writers that she represented, that was how we met, he tells Taste of Country.
In 2008, Eric Church married Katherine Blasingame at Westglow Spa & Resort in Blowing Rock, N.C. The couple had stayed at the resort before, and, he tells CMT, “We decided that it would be the ideal spot to get married, up in the North Carolina mountains, with just family around us. I can’t imagine a more perfect spot.”
During Church s wedding, the now-country star performed a song he wrote for his new wife, called You Make It Look So Easy; the song appears on his record
Carolina. It was a surprise for Katherine,
and it was a surprising move for Church: I hate love songs, he admits. I have a hard time with them. I think they’ve been done so many times, and I hate stuff that’s just your cliches.
