How Zac Brown and Kendra Scott Met
In May, the couple made their red carpet debut at the American Music Awards in Las Vegas, where they appeared together as a couple for the first time. A source close to the couple shared with PEOPLE that they had been dating for several months before making their public appearance.
“They were set up by a mutual friend, and are totally in love,” said the source. “They are head over heels and have become inseparable.”
Their Love Story So Far
Zac Brown, 46, and Kendra Scott, 51, have already shared several special moments. They also attended country artist Jamey Johnson’s wedding in May, where they were photographed together, further confirming their blossoming relationship.
Zac Brown’s Achievements
At the AMAs, Zac Brown, who is the lead singer of Zac Brown Band, was awarded the Veterans’ Voice Award, a new award introduced this year.
The award honors artists who have made a lasting impact on the lives of veterans. Additionally, Zac Brown Band recently announced their upcoming residency at Sphere in Las Vegas this December.
Zac shared his excitement about the residency on Instagram, calling their new album Love & Fear his “masterpiece”. “This show is the story of my life that I have never shared, a journey through my imagination, music, and stories that have defined who I am.”
Their Shared Commitment to Giving Back
Zac Brown is passionate about helping veterans. He works closely with Hope for the Warriors, a nonprofit that supports combat-wounded service members and their families.
He is also the founder of Camp Southern Ground, a camp for kids and teens in the summer, and a place that serves veterans the rest of the year, helping them adjust back to civilian life.
Kendra Scott shares a similar passion for giving back through her Kendra Scott Foundation. Recently, her foundation donated over half a million dollars to organizations that helped those affected by the Kerr County flood tragedy.
The source added that their shared dedication to philanthropy is one of the many things that brought them together.
A Blended Family
Both Zac and Kendra are parents, and between them, they have eight children, ranging in age from 11 to 23. This growing family has surely become an important part of their journey together.
