Get to know country music star Chris Stapleton's wife and the mother of his five children--- the brilliant and talented Morgane Stapleton.
Chris Stapleton‘s wife, Morgane Stapleton, is also a powerful force in country music. The extremely talented duo have been married since October 27, 2007 and have four sons and one daughter together. Morgane was born January 25, 1983 in Nashville Tennessee and is now 41 years old. Chris Stapleton is a well-known name in the world of country music, having won numerous awards for his talent as a singer and songwriter. But behind every great man, there’s a great woman, and in Chris Stapleton’s case, that woman is his wife, Morgane Stapleton.
Morgane is much more than just the woman behind the man; she is an accomplished singer-songwriter in her own right, a devoted mother, and a source of inspiration for Chris’s music. Together, the Stapletons have become one of the most beloved power couples in country music.
Morgane Stapleton (née Hayes) grew up in the heart of country music and developed a passion for singing and songwriting at an early age. Before her marriage to Chris, she pursued her own career as a songwriter, penning songs for notable artists, including Carrie Underwood, LeAnn Rimes, and Trisha Yearwood. Her talent as a lyricist and vocalist has earned her immense respect in the music industry.
Morgane shared this message for their anniversary:
Chris and Morgane are much more than just romantic partners— they’re also musical inspirations for each other and often share the stage together. Morgane Stapleton is a singer-songwriter in her own right, and has been an integral part of Chris Stapleton’s success. The couple met in Nashville in 2003, when they were both working as songwriters. They fell in love and got married in 2007. Since then, they have been inseparable both in their personal lives and in their careers. The couple first met though work in Nashville at the well-known Sea Gayle Music publishing company and their first date involved writing a song together. Morgane candidly described the beginning of their love story during a past interview with the Washington Post, “We’d hear the jingle of his keys as he walked down the hall, and we knew he was coming to play us whatever new song he had written. Eventually he asked me to write a song with him, and that ended up being our first date. We didn’t get much writing done that night.”

Morgane is a talented musician in her own right, and has worked as a background singer for some of the biggest names in country music, including Dierks Bentley, Carrie Underwood, and Blake Shelton. Her powerful voice and stage presence have earned her a reputation as one of the best background singers in the business. Like Chris, Morgane has also found ample success penning songs for other artists. The seasoned artist wrote “Don’t Forget To Remember” for Carrie Underwood and “You Ain’t Right” for LeAnn Rimes. Her solo work has been praised for its soulful sound and heartfelt lyrics. Her debut album, “Morgane Stapleton & the 45s,” was released in 2013, and showcased her talent as a songwriter and performer.
Despite her own success, Morgane remains fiercely dedicated to supporting her husband’s career. She has been a constant presence by his side throughout his rise to fame, and has contributed significantly to his music. In fact, Chris has said that he would never record an album without her by his side. Morgane’s influence on Chris’s music is evident in their collaborations. They have written and recorded numerous songs together, including the hit single “Tennessee Whiskey,” which was originally recorded by George Jones in 1983. Chris and Morgane’s version of the song became a huge hit in 2015, and cemented their status as one of country music’s most beloved couples.
The country music phenom admits to enlisting his wife’s help to guide him to recording the right songs. “My wife has great taste in everything but men,” Stapleton kidded during the same Washington Post interview. “The vast majority of the songs on my debut album, ‘Traveller,’ came from lists she made.”
The couple certainly balances each other out and make a stellar team, but like all couples, they have their heated moments. “Oh, we drive each other crazy once in a while,” Morgane admitted. “But being without each other drives us even more crazy.”
The couple’s partnership extends beyond the recording studio as well. They often perform together on stage, and their chemistry is palpable. They have a deep love and respect for each other, and it shows in everything they do. There is so much electric chemistry between these two musicians. We love watching them on stage together and nabbing glimpses into their shared creative process.

In addition to her musical talent, Morgane is also a devoted mother to the couple’s five children:
Despite their busy schedules, she and Chris prioritize their family above all else. They have been open about their struggles with infertility and the challenges of raising a large family in the music industry, but they have also spoken about the joy and fulfillment their children bring them.
