After the pep talk, Stuart asked Smith to meet him in the parking lot of a grocery store in Nashville. When he found her there he walked up to her car and kissed her. Smith replied with “let’s do that again!’ and the romance officially started there.
Despite their 17 year age difference and Connie’s reluctance to marry for a fourth time, the couple tied the knot on July 8, 1997! The pair have lived happily ever after since! Marty Stuart is 62 years old (born September 30, 1958). Connie Smith is 79 years old (born August 14, 1941).
