Dan and Shay Wives: Meet the Women Behind Duo

Dan and Shay Wives include Dan’s wife Abby and Shay’s wife Hannah.  Country music duo Dan + Shay started working together back in late 2012 and immediately clicked as a team. They met in Nashville, Tennessee and they started writing music together the following day. Their first two two studio albums: Where It All Began and Obsessed launched their duo careers.

The two singers have more to celebrate now that they are expanding their families! Dan Smyers proposed to his now-wife Abby Law back in November 2016 after dating for more than three years.  Dan Smyers married his longtime partner, Abby Law, on May 13, 2017, in a sunset ceremony in Nashville, Tennessee. Unfortunately, Smyers was on the road with his music partner for the Dan + Shay Obsessed Tour, so Law was left with planning most of the wedding.  The couple, both passionate about animal rescue, included their three dogs—Chief, Joy, and Ghost—in the wedding party, dressing them in tuxedos and a coordinating dress.  Dan and Abby celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary on May 13, 2024.

“We were going to try and keep it super small, but we have so many people that we love and care about and we both have decent-sized families,” Law shared with People prior to the wedding. “The numbers add up really quickly, but it’ll be great.”

 The animal-loving couple included their three dogs in the wedding, too! They wanted their wedding to represent the two of them. Law added, “We’re both vegetarians so there’s going to be a lot of vegetarian and vegan food options, and our dogs are going to be in the wedding so it’s going to be very us and laid-back.”

Abby also made a short cameo appearance in the lyric video for Dan + Shay’s hit song “Nothin’ Like You.” Check it out here:

Smyers’ musical partner, Shay Mooney, announced his own engagement to his longtime girlfriend and former Miss Arkansas Hannah Billingsley in August of 2016. A few months later in October, the couple revealed that they were expecting a child! They welcomed their son, Asher, into the world in January of 2017.  Shay Mooney officially married Hannah on October 20, 2017. The ceremony took place on the Mooney family property in Arkansas, with their 9-month-old son, Asher James, participating in the event.  The couple had a private wedding over a year earlier, on August 9, 2016. On that day, after Mooney proposed, they held a surprise ceremony at a stone chapel with close family and friends in attendance.  So, while their public celebration occurred on October 20, 2017, their initial private wedding date was August 9, 2016.

In a later post after his son was born, Mooney wrote in a caption: “It’s hard to describe the love you feel for the first time when you hold your child. I will never be the same. Asher James, I promise to be the father you deserve. And Hannah, I promise to be the husband you want and need. I love you both so much. You’ve given me everything I never knew I needed. Welcome to the world Asher James Mooney. 1/24/2017”

 “Asher – A name meaning fortunate; blessed; happy one… @shaymooney and I are all of those things and more,” Billingsley also mentioned in an Instagram post. “God has truly honored us with the privilege of being the parents of this sweet boy.” What a cutie!

Shay and Hannah went on to have two more sons and are expecting their fourth child. Here’s a list of their children with their current ages:

1. Asher James Mooney: Born on January 24, 2017, Asher is currently 7 years old.
2. Ames Alexander Mooney: Born on February 21, 2020, Ames is 4 years old.
3. Abram Shay Mooney: Born on January 17, 2023, Abram is 1 year old.

In July 2024, Shay and Hannah announced they are expecting their fourth child.

We wish the best for this awesome group of people and know they will have bright futures together!
