“Dwight Yoakam and Emily Joyce were married in March just prior to the quarantine in a private ceremony at St Monica Catholic Church in Santa Monica, CA,” the star’s publicity firm shared. “At a time when there is so much uncertainty in the world, there are still happy moments. In the face of shutdowns and social-distancing requirements, love prevailed, and the less than ten attendees were seated at least six feet from one another.
The happy couple have been engaged for several years and have been dating since 2010. This belated announcement was withheld out of respect to so many people affected by and one the front lines of this pandemic.”
The 64-year-old Kentucky-born country singer (born October 23, 1956) started his career in 1977 and found great success as both a musician and an actor. Dwight has earned two Grammy Awards and earned a star on the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame. Dwight’s past relationships have reportedly included Sharon Stone (1992), Karen Duffy (1993 – 1994), Bridget Fonda (1999 to April 2002), and Wynonna Judd. This marks his first marriage.
