You barley hear anything about former American Idol star and country singer Kellie Pickler, but from what little I’ve heard of her I find her refreshingly funny, down to earth and normal. This latest story just confirms it for me. Pickler, 24, got married in the Caribbean over the holiday season, but she didn’t release any photos to the press and she only issued two very brief statements about it on Twitter. “Yes, it’s true, @kylecjacobs and I said “I Do!” Thank you Jesus!” and “Private Island. Caribbean. Cigar in one hand, Rum in the other. Someone just called me “Mrs. Jacobs.”….sounds nice :)” Here’s a story about it, from Fox:
Country singer Kellie Pickler married her boyfriend Kyle Jacobs this weekend on a private island in the Caribbean, her rep tells FOX411.com.
While no photos or details of the ceremony were released, her rep said the “intimate ceremony” took place on New Year’s Day.
Pickler, 24, and Jacobs, a songwriter, met back in 2007. Jacobs, 37, has penned hits for singers Tim McGraw and Garth Brooks, as well as working on Pickler’s latest album.
Jacobs popped the question this summer, but the couple kept quiet on any plans for the big day.

People Magazine has a photo of these two on the beach, but that was their engagement photo and it doesn’t look like they’ve put out any wedding photos at all, not that I’d mind. I would love to see a picture of them on their special day.
Congratulations to Kellie and Kyle! Their names sound so cute together as a couple, like “We’re going over to Kellie and Kyle’s house to watch the game.” If they have a daughter, they should resist the urge to call her Kylie, though. That would be too much.

Yes, she got married without all the “my marriage is really only important to me if I can get some publicity” crap.
Congrats Kellie, on your marriage and the way you went about it.
Refreshingly normal! I love that they kept it private. Good luck to them both and Congrats!
I agree, it is refreshing and normal. Kellie is a down home girl, no airs.
Congrats & much happiness to them both.
Kelly’s ex, hockey player Jordin Tootoo entered rehab during the same period.
Coincidence?
I agree! I think she’s cute, funny, and very down to earth. I love that she seems genuinely happy and in love with her husband, not the status of her celebrity. Congratulations and best wishes to the newlyweds!
I am happy for her but why did she have to alter her face.
I loved Kelli during AI and shortly after, but she has gotten alot of work done and most of her newer songs aren’t so great. Congrats her and Kyle, I hope he is able to write good songs for her in the future.
I’d read in Us Weekly that Kellie’s family had been complicating things by acting up over the guest list and that Kyle just wanted to set a date and get married. I don’t know if that’s true but if so it looks like Kellie and Kyle said to heck to the fussy family members, let’s elope. Congrats to them!
