Zac Brown and Kendra Scott have reportedly gotten married in an intimate wedding overseas. A source confirmed to TMZ that the couple tied the knot on Monday, May 25 at the Canaves Epitome Resort in Santorini Greece.

Both are parents with eight children between them, ranging in age from 12 to 24, whom arrived through their previous partners. Scott shares two sons, Cade, 24, and Beck, 22, with her ex-husband John Scott, and one son, 12-year-old Grey, with her ex-husband Matt Davis. Brown shares five children, Justice, 19, Lucy, 18, Georgia, 16, Joni, 15, and Alexander, 12, with his ex-wife Shelly Brown.

His most recent marriage prior to Scott was with Kelly Yazdi. The pair were married for only four months before announcing their divorce in 2023.

All of their children were said to have been present during the ceremony.

Fans first learned of the relationship between Brown and Scott in 2025 during at the American Music Awards, where they made their red carpet debut prior to the country star earning the show’s first-ever Veterans’ Voice Awards. Not much is known about their relationship, but it is believed that they were introduced through mutual friends and began dating quietly for months.  

 PEOPLE exclusively shared the news that Brown popped the question in July 2025 with a stunning custom pink diamond ring and she said yes. They shared sweet engagement photos alongside the officially announcement, showing the couple looking happy as can be in front of the romantic sunset.

“We are so happy and grateful that we found each other,” the couple told the outlet.

Later that month, they were photographed attending fellow country artist Jamey Johnson’s wedding.

Not much is known about their own wedding as the couple has yet to share a formal announcement or photos from the celebratory event.

This moment came amid a busy few months ahead for Zac Brown Band as they prepare to launch their Love & Fear Tour. The trek kicks off July 17 in Grand Rapids, MI and runs through November, where they will wrap up on November 21 in Rosemont, IL.

Zach John King Makes Long-Awaited Grand Ole Opry Debut: ‘This is a Top Moment for Me’

Zach John King finally stepped into the circle of the Grand Ole Opry, making his debut on the historic stage on May 23, 2026.

The rising star learned that he would have the honor of crossing off this milestone in his career last December when his tour mate at the time, Luke Bryan, pulled him aside to give him the news.

Bryan called him over and asked, “you know what I’m doing?” King looked confused as he responded, “no.” The hitmaker put his arm around King as he informed him, “We just found out that he’s been asked to perform his first Grand Ole Opry show.”

“Seriously?” King asked. Moments later he became overwhelmed with emotion as the excitement sunk in and was speechless over the news.

The “Backwoods” singer was originally scheduled to make his debut on January 24 but it was postponed due to an historic winter storm that hit Nashville.

The long-awaited moment finally came this past Saturday. As the Sony Music Nashville artist took the stage wearing his “pops” boots, he performed his current radio single “Get To Drinkin’” as well as a brand-new song dropping this Friday titled, “Beneath The Pines.” 

Reflecting on such an important experience in his career, King shared, “As somebody who’s versed in the history of country music and being a country musician myself, this is a top moment for me. The legacy of this place is something I grew up with. There’s this whole lineage of performers who came out of the Opry, and I’ve had so much respect for it my whole life.”

He continued, “To be able to stand in that circle with the people who came before me is just insane. My whole family was also there. We had about 90 friends and family make the trip up from Georgia, so it was just an incredibly special night.”

A heartfelt Instagram post that came after the milestone moment showed him sharing a tear-filled moment with his mom. The two of them were captured hugging each other tightly and celebrating the fact that King has made great strides in achieving his dreams.

King’s new song, “Beneath The Pines,” is one fans have been waiting very patiently for. It’s a love song, something rare in his catalog, penned by the Georgia native with Rodney Clawson, and Michael Lawson. His powerful vocals deliver a heart pounding story about what it feels like to be so deeply in love that you want to freeze time to savor the emotions.

Fans will get their hands on the full version of the track this Friday, May 29.

Zach John King also recently announced that most of his fall headline on the Get To Drinkin’ Tour are already sold out. Due to overwhelming demand, he added a second show in Nashville TN on November 4.  

The country act still has plenty more shows to perform before embarking on his own run. He is currently serving as support for select dates for Morgan Wallen and Luke Bryan. Plus, fans can catch him at CMA Fest on the Platform Stage inside Nissan Stadium on Thursday, June 4.
