If you’ve seen the video for Carly Pearce‘s latest single, “Closer to You,” then you know it stars her real life fiancé, Michael Ray. Carly says, “I didn’t feel like I could have anybody else in the ‘Closer to You’ video just because it’s all about him. I got engaged and I don’t think anybody wanted me to be intimate with another guy, and I certainly didn’t. That felt weird.”
Carly has had other male co-stars in her videos, but was it easier for her to get cozy with Michael in front of a bunch of cameras? She says, “It was a lot easier to be with him verses maybe the guy I was in ‘Every Little Thing’ music video with. That was a little awkward because we jumped into bed right after we met. But it was interesting to kind of tap into acting with him and trying to make sure that we were playing the right characters for the video. But he’s so fun and funny that it was very easy to be happy and laugh.”
