Brantley Gilbert: Country Star, Family Man, and Headliner of the All-American Halftime Show at Super Bowl LX
Brantley Gilbert is set to headline the All-American Halftime Show during Super Bowl LX, organized by Turning Point USA as a rival event to Bad Bunny's scheduled performance. The lineup includes Kid Rock, Lee Brice, Gabby Barrett, and Gilbert himself. The show will be broadcast on Turning Point's social media channels and networks like Charge! and Real America’s Voice. Gilbert, a country music artist, gained fame with hits like “Bottoms Up” and “The Weekend” since his debut album in 2009.
Gilbert's personal life includes his marriage to high school sweetheart Amber Cochran Gilbert. The couple first dated in high school, broke up, and reconnected years later. They got married in 2014 and have three children together: son Barrett Hardy-Clay, daughter Braylen Hendrix, and son Abram Howell, who was born during one of Gilbert's concerts in 2024. Gilbert and his wife had a midwife with them on tour, but the birth happened unexpectedly.
In 2012, Gilbert dated actress and singer Jana Kramer, and they got engaged in 2013 but called it off eight months later. Kramer later expressed regret for not being the best version of herself in the relationship. Gilbert also opened up about struggling with his Christian faith and forgiveness after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. He mentioned his wife's influence in returning to church and trying to show more grace and love to others, aligning with his Christian beliefs. Gilbert aims to keep his platform positive and supportive of active duty members, veterans, and children.
