Luke Bryan, Caroline Boyer’s relationship timeline

Country crooner Luke Bryan is married to his wife, Caroline ‘Lina’Bryanfor over almost twenty years, and still seems as in love as ever.

After first meeting while attending the same college in Georgia, the pair had an instant bond that couldn’t be ignored.

“My first week at university we met at a bar called Dingus, and we were just hanging out,” Caroline explained on the Podcast ‘Get Real with Caroline Hobby’ in January 2019. “It was Thursday evening. I was a freshman. It was my first time in a bar. I was so sheltered growing up in a very small town and I had the same boyfriend since 8th grade. … Luke’s personality was so big that I would stare at him like, ‘Is this guy for real?’ He was the second man I ever kissed in my life. Ever.”

Although they dated for over a year while they were at school, Luke and Caroline eventually broke up when she “freaked out” after he talked about marriage. It wasn’t until four years later that they would rekindle their student-era relationship.

The couple eventually married in December 2006, prior to the release of his debut album, I remain myself, a year later. He claimed that Caroline’s support helped him become a successful music artist.

“She’s the perfect kind of stability that I need on all levels,” Luke said The boot in September 2015. “She wakes up at 5:30 a.m. and makes lunch for the kids and lets me sleep in. My family is still really committed to me and working their schedules around what I do, so I’m looking forward to the day when maybe those roles will change a little bit. This hype will always be there. She calls me at the end of the day.”

The duo expanded their family in 2008 and 2010, welcoming their two sons, Bo and Tate, respectively. After Luke’s brother-in-law died unexpectedly of a heart attack in 2014, Luke and Caroline took their three children into their home.
