A love story with an unusual beginning. Brandi Carlile and her wife, Catherine Shepherd, first struck up a relationship over the phone — but it wasn’t long before they hit it off in person as well.
The Grammy winner and the U.K. native met in 2009 while Shepherd was working for Paul McCartney, coordinating his charity work. Carlile and her future wife spoke over the phone for a year before finally meeting in person.
“Really a lot of it was about activism and charity,” the Broken Horses author recalled of those early days during an interview with Howard Stern in October 2021. “But then one day something just changed.”

Everything’s different. No day will ever be the same.’ I was just switched. I was totally infatuated with her, absolutely in love with her.”
The couple tied the knot in September 2012 in what Carlile described as a “falling down barn” near Seattle. “It was truly one of our best days, completely awkward and human and beautiful,” the “You and Me on the Rock” crooner wrote via Facebook one month after the nuptials. “I’m married to my best friend and nothing has ever brought me more joy than that.”
In 2014, the twosome welcomed their first daughter, Evangeline, who later became the title subject of one of Carlile’s songs. Their second child, daughter Elijah, arrived in 2018. In a 2021 essay for Parents magazine, the CMT Music Award
