Vince Gill, Amy Grant come full circle after 24 years of marriage: Love ‘watching my girl shine’
Amy Grant and husband Vince Gill’s love story has come full circle after they were brought together decades ago with the help of a special holiday.
The couple’s journey to marital bliss began in 1983, when Gill became captivated by Grant’s voice after hearing one of her Christmas songs on the radio. However, the two didn’t meet in person until a decade later.
Last month, Grant and Gill, who have been married 24 years, announced that they were teaming up for a new Christmas album, “When I Think Of Christmas.”
“There’s nothing in the world that I love more than watching my girl shine, and she might shine the brightest when she does Christmas music,” Gill, 67, said in a press release.
“We have shared stages together for over 30 years, and I’ve loved every note of it,” he added. “I hope everyone enjoys this collection of songs and hearing Amy shine.”
In her own statement, Grant, 63, said, “Christmas music is a portal to wonder and awe, to nostalgia and ‘remember when,’ to hope and how-we-wish-it-could-be.
“And because we return to the same playlists year after year, those songs have become the backdrop for our collective memories of gathering, of family, of gift giving, of celebration and solitude.
“I’ve recorded a lot of Christmas music over the years, and I’m excited to add two new songs to this collection, especially the song Vince and I close our Christmas concerts with, ‘‘Til The Season Comes Round Again.’ I hope these new songs find a place on playlists, whether it’s during the holiday season or all year ‘round.”
