Brantley Gilbert has a lot to celebrate these days. His latest single, “One Hell of an Amen,” is in the top ten and still climbing, and he just married the love of his life, Amber, on June 28th, in his home state of Georgia. Amber is an elementary school teacher, and Brantley says they definitely hope to have kid of their own one day, although his wife thinks he will be putty in their hands based on the way he is with his dog.
“The way I treat Sylo like I love my dog and he can’t do a whole lot wrong,” explains Brantley. “Like, if he does somethin’, and he’s a pitbull, but he’s cute as hell. I don’t know how that works. He’s just awesome and she says I let him get away with anything, I’m just gonna be worse with kids.”
For now Brantley and Amber are going to enjoy being newlyweds and Brantley will be getting to back to work on tour on July 11th, opening for Kenny Chesney at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field as part of The Big Revival Tour.
