How Did HARDY and Wife Caleigh Ryan Hardy Meet?
HARDY and Caleigh’s relationship began in April of 2018 when HARDY sent Caleigh a direct message on Instagram. After weeks of talking, the pair finally made time for a first date when HARDY was on tour and coming to Oxford, Mississippi’s Lyric Theatre to play a show.
“Once we met each other, there really was no one else. We never entertained anyone else. It was just so easy,” Caleigh previously told People with HARDY adding, “I loved her after the third time that we ever hung out. It was the realest thing I had ever experienced. I actually told her I loved her at Stagecoach, out in the crowd.”
HARDY then popped the question in August of 2021 when he proposed to Caleigh at the Lyric Theatre in Oxford, Mississippi, which is the same place where they first met.
The pair later tied the knot on October 29, 2022, at Diamond Creek Farms in Nashville, Tennessee in front of 350 of their friends and family before jetting off to Thailand for their honeymoon.
