Jason Aldean started dating Jessica when the two were in high school. Jason was 17 and was head over heels for the girl with the wonderful smile. Today is their 10th wedding anniversary, and they'll celebrate with their two daughters, 8-year-old Keeley and Kendyl, who is 4. When asked if they're going for a boy, Jason replies, “You know what? I think every guy would like to have a son. But, to be honest with you man, after my first daughter was born and my wife got pregnant the second time and I actually wanted another girl. So, um…you know, so I’m good. I’m good, we’re…we got two and I got my hands full and it’s over.” Married in 2011, Jessica and Jason kicked around Nashville trying to jump-start his career. Finally in 2005, signed with Broken Bow Records, he released his first single, "Hicktown," and the rest is happy history for the couple.
