Kimberly and Johnny secretly married in June 2021. They went public with the news six months later.

It was wild and wonderful and reminded me all over again that God is the most glorious creator and the master of the most beautiful blueprint for our lives! I love you Johnny and can’t wait for forever….” Kimberly wrote in a now-deleted post on Instagram.

Kimberly wiped her social media pages clean earlier this year. That’s when she announced several pieces of good news.

Kimberly Announces Solo Career & Pregnancy At The Same Time

Those of you likely know Kimberly as the lead singer of the sibling trio, The Band Perry. The CMA Award-winning group is known for songs such as “If I Die Young,” “Chainsaw, ” “All Your Life,” and “Better Dig Two.”

The Band Perry released their last EP, titled Coordinates, in 2018. Little was heard from Kimberly and her brothers, Neil and Reid, between then and now.

In April this year, Kimberly made her return and announced her solo career. She signed with a new label, RECORDS Nashville and released a new EP, Bloom.

Just a few days after that, Kimberly announced her pregnancy. She said:

“Building my own family is something I’ve dreamed about for as long as I can remember. As a woman and as an artist, I’ve always felt like I had to make a choice between growing my career and growing life. But YALL – I’m doin’ em both at the SAME TIME!! Here we go!”
