The “Joy of My Life” artist thanked his wife and kids during his sweet speech while accepting an award for Entertainer of the Year during the 2023 ACM Awards in May.
“Well, I’m shocked — truly. By any imaginable metric I don’t deserve this, but thank you,” the Kentucky native said on stage. “I never thought of myself as somebody who’d win this award. I’m so grateful for each and every person who works so hard to make us able to do what we do — my wife Morgane, thank you. I want to say, my kids sitting at home, they give up a lot of my time, a lot of my wife’s time so we can do this. This is for them.”

It turns out that Chris’ wife is a profoundly talented singer and songwriter in her own right. Sometimes, she sings backup for him and has even been known to join him during onstage performances! In fact, Chris admits that she heavily influences his work and keeps him grounded.
“Make no mistake, [Morgane’s hands] are always all over everything,” Chris told Rare Country in 2017. “She’s my Jiminy Cricket in a lot of ways. She’s the voice of reason because I’m not always reasonable.”
He went on to say that she coaches him to improve, and her expertise is a big help. “She’s been known to make me change keys on something,” he said. “She’ll be like, ‘Sing higher.’ I’m like, ‘Alright.’ I get lazy on keys sometimes. I’ll key it lower. That way I can sing it lower live. She won’t let me get lazy on stuff like that. She knows when I’m doing it, and nobody else does.”
She’s a mother of 5, including a set of twins.

In addition, the couple welcomed their firstborn child, son Waylon, in 2009, followed by their daughter, Ada, who is just one year younger. Their two older kiddos have been known to appear at events from time to time with their parents. Most recently, they attended the Academy of Country Music Awards with their parents. in 2022.
Morgane wrote a song for Carrie Underwood.
Her credits are undeniably impressive! She’s written songs for Carrie Underwood (Don’t Forget to Remember Me), LeAnne Rimes (You Ain’t Right), Kelli Pickler (Stop Cheatin’ On Me), and Trisha Yearwood (We Tried), and many more. In fact, aside from that illustrious country music songwriting pedigree, she met Chris through the same Nashville publishing company, where they were both working as songwriters.
Morgane told The Washington Post in 2015 that writing their first song together was the beginning of something beautiful. “Eventually, he asked me to write a song with him, and that ended up being our first date,” she told the newspaper. “We didn’t get much writing done that night.”
