Dwight Yoakam, 63, married his longtime girlfriend, Emily Joyce, in March.
Dwight and Emily released a statement through Dwightâs publicity firm, which you can read below.
Dwight Yoakam and Emily Joyce were married in March just prior to the quarantine in a private ceremony at St Monica Catholic Church in Santa Monica, CA. At a time when there is so much uncertainty in the world, there are still happy moments. In the face of shutdowns and social-distancing requirements, love prevailed, and the less than 10 attendees were seated at least six feet from one another. The happy couple have been engaged for several years and have been dating since 2010. This belated announcement was withheld out of respect to so many people affected by and on the front lines of this pandemic.
In his 30-plus-year career, Dwight has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide, earned 21 Grammy nominations and charted five Billboard No. 1 albums. Dwightâs credits as a songwriter/artist include âGuitars, Cadillacs,â âLittle Ways,â âPlease, Please Baby,â âI Sang Dixie,â âI Got You,â âIt Only Hurts Me When I Cry,â âTry Not To Look So Pretty,â âA Thousand Miles From Nowhere,â âFast As You,â âYouâre The Oneâ and more.
