Young is a country music artist known for his honest lyrics and "Caliville" sound, blending West Coast and Southern styles. He has had seven number-one hits and two successful albums.
In his latest project, "Weekends Look a Little Different These Days," Young showcases his current tracks, "You Didn't" and "Lady," which inspired his debut children's book.
He has also collaborated with artists such as Ashley Cooke and Riley Clemmons. Recently, Young co-wrote a new song called "Long Way Home" for the movie "Father Stu," starring Mark Wahlberg.
In addition to his triumphs in the world of music, Young has also accomplished something equally important: embracing the role of a devoted husband and proud family man, sharing a life with his beloved wife, Taylor Mills.
Brett Young and His Wife Taylor Mills Walked a Long Path to Their Wedding
The path to the altar for Young and Mills was not easy, as the couple had to part ways and grow apart before finally exchanging their vows, which they did twice.
The couple first met more than a decade ago when Young stumbled upon a photo of his now-wife, Mills, on her roommate's page. He organized a group outing, which had a platonic vibe at first.
After some time, Young moved to Orange County, California, but four months later, he and Mills started texting each other, eventually leading to dating and a long-distance relationship.
After dating for six years, the couple broke up when Young moved to Nashville to pursue his music career. Despite missing each other, they were determined to focus on their own goals. Young said:
"It was one of those things where we needed to be apart to grow up before we could come back together."
Mills was the muse for numerous love and heartbreak songs on Young's first album. One day, while driving to work, she heard Young's voice on the radio, which overwhelmed her with emotions.
Although hearing him sing stirred up intense emotions, Mills also felt proud of his success. She was surprised to receive a text from Young because she had no contact information for him.
They rekindled their romance shortly, and when they reconciled, Young noted that all of the good elements of their relationship remained while the negative aspects resulting from their immaturity were no longer present.
On November 13, 2018, Young and Mills exchanged their vows after getting engaged a few months earlier. Young wore an all-black suit, while Mills donned a body-hugging white dress.
In a lengthy Instagram post after their wedding, Mills expressed that their special occasion was "a dream come true in so many ways," and she still couldn't believe it.
In the months following their wedding, Mills continued to share photos of her and Young from their big day. She posted breathtaking photos, including shots of the duo walking down the aisle and a black-and-white snapshot of her husband hugging her from behind.
In September 2019, nearly a year after their special day, Mills revealed that she and Young had been "legally married" for three months before their official wedding day.
The couple legally married on August 8, 2018, at the Rhinestone Wedding Chapel in Nashville, as stated on Mills' Instagram post, which showed a picture of them kissing while holding their marriage certificate. Mills explained:
"We decided not to tell anyone we were married before our wedding day [with the exception of my sister because she's the best secret keeper.] We didn't want to take away from our wedding ceremony in November."
In November 2022, Young celebrated their fourth official wedding anniversary by posting on his Instagram: "I've never not loved you more than the day before and I know that won't ever change. Happy anniversary my Angel baby!"

Young posted a lovely picture of himself and his wife sharing a kiss with a breathtaking sunset in the distance. He wrote a caption for his wife, "My whole world."
Young, a man who never runs out of ways to express his romantic gestures in public, caused a stir among his fans in June 2022 when he shared a clip of himself sweetly inviting Mills on stage at a recent concert. He also called his wife a "model."
The couple never hesitates to compliment each other online, even if it involves sharing old pictures. In honor of Mills' birthday, Young posted a throwback picture of them, while Mills also posted their old photo looking "a bit younger" and "rested" to celebrate her husband's birthday.
Young expressed that he and his wife have always had the same desire to start a family and are blessed to have one.
Young's remarkable career in the industry has enabled him to master the art of balancing work and family life. He attributes his success to fellow singer Thomas Rhett.
The dashing country singer said it was Rhett who taught him valuable lessons on how to prioritize family time. Rhett is highly regarded for his long-lasting marriage to his wife, Lauren Akins.

Young is a doting father to his two daughters, Presley Elizabeth and Rowan Marie. The couple announced their first pregnancy in August 2019 and welcomed their first child, Presley, on October 21, 2019.
Young expressed that he and his wife have always had the same desire to start a family and are blessed to have one. Their family soon expanded as the sweet pair welcomed their second child, Rowan, on July 21, 2021.
Young initially believed he would have sons because he had a good relationship with his father. However, his perspective shifted after the birth of Presley, who grew into a smart and talkative child.
Additionally, Young expressed his affection for his eldest daughter and even cherished their adorable lunch dates. When Rowan was born, he realized he is a "girl-dad."
He no longer wants a son because he values his special relationship with his daughters. He thinks this has changed him for the better, allowing him to love more deeply, not only with his children but also with others.
