Brad Paisley Celebrates Wife’s Birthday With “Officially Approved” and Heartfelt Message

While having won numerous awards including Grammys and selling over 11 million albums, Brad Paisley wanted more out of life than just hit songs. And that moment came in 2001 when the country singer looked to film a music video for the song “I’m Gonna Miss Her.” Meeting actor Kimberly Williams-Paisley, the singer asked her to be in the music video. Their time working on set led to a relationship that included marriage and children. Marrying in 2003, Paisley recently celebrated his wife’s birthday with a heartfelt message that included some puppy love.

Posting a picture of Kimberly on his Instagram page, Paisley decided to go with a moment showing his wife getting some love from a dog. He captioned the post, writing, “Been busy celebrating the most amazing @kimberlywilliamspaisley ‘s birthday, so just getting around to posting this officially approved photo. Also, the following statements are officially approved as well: That she is a gift to this earth. And I am the luckiest man alive. And she is the heart and soul of this family. And the brains. And of course the beauty.”

Although having some fun with the post, Paisley added, “Seriously though, happy birthday to the best person I’ve ever known. I love you.”

Yes, ALIVE, thriving and so grateful.” Even Sheryl Crow commented on the post, “Happiest of Happy Birthday to you…fierce, kind, funny, tender, strong woman!! Love you.”
