2024 CMA Awards co-host Luke Bryan and his wife, Caroline Bryan, née Boyer, have been a staple on country music red carpets for nearly two decades. The two first met at a bar while attending Georgia Southern University in 1998. They dated for eight years before saying “I do” in December 2006. A year later, Bryan released his debut album, “I’ll Stay Me, which earned Bryan a nod for the 2007 CMA Awards Horizon Award.
Following his slew of country hits in 2010 and 2011, including “Rain is a Good Thing” and “Country Girl (Shake It For Me),” the couple continued to impress with their red carpet style, with Caroline opting for playful patterns and layered, flowing dresses from the likes of Carolina Herrera and Luke Bryan experimenting with texture and pops of muted color.
The couple’s involvement in the fashion industry has evolved alongside Bryan’s prolific career. In 2020, the couple became brand ambassadors for Jockey International, and in 2022, Luke Bryan collaborated with the brand to launch the Jockey Outdoors Collection. Bryan and Jocket are set to open a Nashville store, Coopers 12South, in late November.
