We get into how their relationship has changed through Cooper’s rise in country music, what life on the road really looks like, balancing family with touring, upcoming music and shows, and the moments that shaped them most along the way. This episode is full of stories about love, growth, family, faith, country music, and building a life together through every season & we hope you love it as much as we did!!
