But just like any relationship, it wasn’t always smooth sailing for the couple as well. During the early 1980s, the couple almost divorced due to Jennings’ severe cocaine and alcohol addiction. On top of that, despite being one of the most successful country musicians of his time, he was almost broke. He would even disappear for days at that point in his life.

Thanks to his son, Shooter, Jennings finally had the strength and inspiration to end all his addiction for good.
