ALAN JACKSON – DENISE JACKSON

Country music fans’ always keep an eye on Alan and Denise Jackson. This longtime couple was high school sweethearts, and they walked down the aisle on December 15, 1979. The funny thing about their first encounter is that Jackson tried an odd way to get Denise’s attention: he threw a penny down her blouse then asked if she could get it for him. They became a couple shortly after that.

When it comes to Alan’s career, it was to Denise’s credit that her husband became an acclaimed musician. Early on in their marriage, she spotted Glen Campbell and told him her husband dreamed of becoming a country singer. Campbell helped her by referring them to a Nashville publishing company that later signed Jackson to a record deal. They exemplified how marriage is all about partnership, believing in each other’s strengths, helping when the other is weak, and no matter what, always having each other’s back.
