A Chance Meeting

Chris Stapleton and Morgane Hayes first crossed paths in 2003 in Nashville when they were both working as songwriters at neighboring music publishing companies. Morgane admitted to Paste Magazine in 2015, “I kinda did stalk him a little bit. I was friends with his song-plugger and I would go hang out in her office, like, every day. That’s how we hung out for a long time.” Chris later asked Morgane to write a song with him, which became their first date. Their initial meeting was unassuming, but it set the stage for a deep and enduring connection.

Building a Life Together

The couple’s relationship quickly blossomed, and they decided to tie the knot in 2007. From the beginning, it was clear that their love was built on a strong foundation of mutual respect, trust, and a shared passion for music. In addition to their thriving careers, Chris and Morgane have built a beautiful family together. The couple welcomed their first child, a son named Waylon, in 2009. A few years later, Morgane gave birth to their second child, a daughter named Ada.

In 2018, they welcomed twin boys, Macon and Samuel, into the world. Parenthood added another layer of joy to their lives, and it’s evident that their family is a top priority for them.

“Some of you may know that we have four children,” Chris said, according to People. “We just had twins, about seven months ago. Now there’s four for us, but we’re gonna make it five!”

The family welcomed their fifth child, another boy, in May 2018, though they have not yet revealed their youngest child’s name.
