Clint Black and Lisa Hartman Black‘s attraction first sparked in 1990 when the actress-singer went backstage to meet the country singer after his New Year’s Eve concert in Houston, Texas. The Texas-raised couple quietly dated and got married in Katy, Texas on October 20, 1991 and most recently celebrated their 33rd wedding anniversary. In an industry where relationships often face significant challenges, country music star Clint Black and actress-singer Lisa Hartman Black have defied the odds.

Clint Black and Lisa Hartman Black: A Love Story That Stands the Test of Time
A Whirlwind Romance and Fairytale Wedding
Their romance moved quickly, and within ten months, Clint and Lisa tied the knot on October 20, 1991, in a beautiful, intimate ceremony in Katy, Texas. Rather than getting caught up in the glitz and glamour of Hollywood or the pressures of the country music world, they focused on building a strong foundation based on trust, love, and shared values.
One of the biggest decisions they made early in their marriage was to prioritize their relationship over their individual careers. Lisa made the selfless choice to step back from acting to support Clint’s touring and musical ambitions. In turn, Clint always made sure his family came first, ensuring they spent as much time together as possible.
For their 29thwedding anniversary, Clint shared, “Celebrating 29 years of marriage today to my wonderful, beautiful wife Lisa. Our years together have been nothing short of blissful and I’m grateful everyday God put her in my life”.

A Musical Partnership and Unbreakable Bond
Though Lisa put her acting career on hold, she didn’t leave the spotlight entirely. The couple collaborated musically, most notably on the 1999 hit duet “When I Said I Do”, which became a country classic and won the Academy of Country Music (ACM) Award for Vocal Event of the Year. The song, a heartfelt ballad about lifelong commitment, perfectly encapsulated their love story and remains a favorite at weddings to this day.
They later recorded another duet, “Easy for Me to Say,” in 2001, further proving that their chemistry extended beyond their personal lives and into their music.
The talented pair recorded the award-winning duet “When I Said I Do” and released it in August 1999 as the first single from Black’s album D’lectrified. The romantic tune peaked at number 31 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, making it a crossover hit.
