Country music mega-star Luke Bryan has had his wife Caroline by his side for as long
as he's been in the public eye.
If you can't get enough of these college sweethearts, these facts about their marriage are for you.
Time apart
Bryan and Caroline began dating as students at Georgia Southern University.
They dated on-and-off for two and a half years before going their separate ways for a lengthy
five-and-a-half years.
The reason for the break-up?
Bryan told the Huffington Post,
"I was about done with school when we met.
So I kinda went off and did my thing in Nashville and she finished up her college experience
and it kinda allowed us to both go get our feet a little firmer on the ground."
"I guess fate kinda brought us back together.
It was all the right time and right place when we got back together."
Raunchy cakes
Birthdays in the Bryan household can get a little crude.
The country singer told Taste of Country's radio show that his wife…
"...gets really, really creative with birthday cakes.
Half the time they're not anything I can post."
For Bryan's 40th birthday, Caroline ordered a Guinness chocolate cake with an image of
Bryan as a Chippendales dancer popping out of it.
But that was nothing compared to the vulgar toilet cake Caroline had made for for Bryan's
39th birthday… and those are just the cakes that have been made public.
Caroline's song
Much was made about Bryan's song "To the Moon and Back," when he dedicated it to his wife.
"I have never physically found a song that I could hand to Caroline and go, 'This one
is for you, this was designed for you."
What many stories failed to mention is that Bryan didn't actually write it, although he
hasn't taken credit for writing it, either.
He has only said he had Caroline in mind when he recorded the song.
He told Radio.com,
"The second I heard it I told myself, 'Well, this is a really manly, masculine way to tell
your wife and tell people you love them.'"
Hunting and fishing
In Bryan's song "Huntin', Fishin' and Lovin' Every Day," he sings about the woman who occasionally
joins him on his outdoors adventures.
But if you think that means Caroline is a hunting enthusiast, you would be incorrect.
"I'm an outdoors person, but I'm not a hunter.
I don't, I can't, I'm not going to kill anything.
I'm just, I can't."
Interior designer Chad James told Nashville Lifestyles that while he was decorating their
home, Caroline didn't want him including any hunting trophies... though she eventually
came around on a few ideas.
Famous butt
The butt with its own Twitter account as well as its own meet-and-greet rule…
"No one can touch your butt?"
"Well, we had to lay that, we had to start that one."
...apparently wasn't always such a hit.
Bryan admitted to Parade,
"My wife and I laugh about it, because she always thought I had a flat [rear end] until
I started working out."
It's also possible Caroline took more of a liking to his butt after he supposedly had
her initials tattooed onto it, as country singer Jason Aldean revealed in a Chicago
radio interview.
"I think he has his wife's initials on one of his ass cheeks."
For the record, Bryan said on Sirius XM's The Jenny McCarthy Show that he doesn't think
he has much of a butt.
"Tell you what's important is the right jeans, I've learned."
Jealous women
Caroline told Country Weekly that Bryan was popular with the ladies in college and dating
him came with its share of scrutiny — especially since she was younger than him.
She said,
"I got hated on some because he was a big popular guy on campus and here comes a little
freshman.
A lot of girls didn't take to me too much."
Now that Bryan is a superstar, there are countless women who would like to get their hands on
him.
Caroline said she doesn't mind, claiming it comes with the territory.
She told People,
"He's a beautiful man and girls are going to see that, and that's just how it is.
It's honestly never bothered me."
No marriage guru
Because he's been married for over a decade and has outlasted other high-profile country
music relationships, Bryan is constantly fielding questions about the key to a successful marriage.
But as Bryan himself has admitted, he doesn't have all the answers.
In an interview with San Diego's KSON., Bryan said,
"My problem is when you're all up in the fight, the argument, I should just hang up.
But I keep wanting to make it better and that makes it worse."
"I've learned when to shut up."
