Hillary Scott and Chris Tyrrell have one of the sweetest romances in country music

Despite great tragedy, Hillary Scott and Chris Tyyrell have remained unshakeable

Lady Antebellum singer Hillary Scott just welcomed twin girls with her husband, drummer Chris Tyrrell. It was a heartwarming moment in their love story, which has withstood ups and downs—and crowded tour buses. Here’s how their love has stayed strong.Scott told Redbook that she met Tyrrell in college; they went to different schools in Tennessee and met through mutual friends. She was into him from the beginning, but he took some convincing. “I thought off the bat that he was really attractive, and I could tell that he was kind. Kindness just oozes out of him,” she told the magazine. “I wanted to date him when I met him! And he just wanted to play basketball.” According to The Huffington Post, they reconnected in 2010 when they both were opening up for Tim McGraw on his Southern Voice tour. At the time, Tyrrell was playing drums for his band, Love and Theft, and Scott, of course, was singing with Lady Antebellum.Their romance was the subject of Lady Antebellum’s song, “Just a Kiss.” "We love writing songs from personal experience, and this is definitely one of those songs," Scott said in a statement when the single was released, according to Billboard. "There is so much excitement at the beginning of a new relationship…all the butterflies and that optimistic feeling that this person could be 'the one.' This song is about one of those times when your brain kicks in and tells your heart, 'good things are worth waiting for.'"They got engaged on the Fourth of July weekend in East Tennessee. “Chris proposed exactly the way I’ve always dreamed,” Scott told People. “Our families were close by, but it was just us out on a beautiful deck overlooking a lake in East Tennessee. We had just been on a hike and—in our workout clothes—he hit the knee! We feel so blessed by God that He sent us each other, and we are looking so forward to forever together!” Her bandmates, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood, were not able to make the ceremony. Scott and Tyrrell were married on January 7, 2012 in upstate New York, E! News reported at the time. "We got married! We just wanted you to hear it from us first,” Scott said in a video dedicated to her fans. “We love you. We're so excited to be starting our life together and we just had to let you in on the exciting news." Scott wore a custom Vera Wang gown, while Tyrrell wore a gray Ermenegildo Zegna suit. Tyrrell eventually joined up with Scott and now plays drums for Lady Antebellum. At the start, they rode in separate tour buses—Scott with Kelley and Haywood, and Tyrrell with the rest of the backing band. “You have to separate it a little bit, and thankfully -- knock on wood and praise God—it's been such a smooth transition," Scott told Country Weekly in 2012. But by the next year, when they was expecting their first child, they changed their tune, getting their own family bus, according to The Tennessean. "It will be a traveling road family," Scott told the newspaper. "We're already a family, and this is the first little addition." Their first child, Eisele Kaye, was born on July 22, 2013, in Nashville. Her name honored Tyrrell’s mother’s maiden name, and Scott’s mother’s maiden name. Scott and Tyrell tried to expand their family beyond that, but struggled for years until their twins were born. Scott revealed that she suffered a miscarriage in the fall of 2015, and that traumatic experience inspired her song “Thy Will.” "This is something that is still not talked about very often," she said on Good Morning America. "I also feel like there's this pressure to be able to snap your fingers and continue to walk through life like it never happened. I wrote the song in the middle of experiencing everything that comes with a miscarriage, so it was at my most raw place when this song truly poured out of me."In August 2017, Scott and Tyrrell revealed that they were expecting twins. They announced the news in an incredibly sweet video starring Eisele, who was by then 4 years old. “I can’t wait until the babies come out!” Eisele said. “When am I gonna have a baby in my belly?” The twins, Betsy Mack and Emory JoAnn, were born on January 29. 2018. “Big Sister Eisele’s heart is full of love for her sisters and she is already such an incredible little helper,” they wrote on Instagram. “One week in and we are definitely seeing double!”
