Who is Chris Janson's wife Kelly Janson? The ‘Buy Me a Boat' country music star says it was love at first sight, and penned ‘Holdin' Her' as a testament to their love
American musician Chris Janson has been with his wife Kelly Lynn for nearly two decades.
The pair met at a Nashville bar in 2007 and tied the knot three years later, but the 'Buy Me a Boat' singer claims that he knew the moment he saw her that he was going to marry her.

Janson has said that he celebrates his wife and their marriage everyday: 'Every day that I get to wake up beside Kelly feels like a celebration. We're partners in everything, and we're in love,' he said in a 2018 interview with The Tennessean.
So what do we know about Kelly Janson – the woman who inspired his 2016 single 'Holdin' Her'?
She used to work at a recording label

When Kelly and Janson first crossed paths at that Nashville bar, she was a single mother of two working as an A&R consultant at a recording label.
It was actually under the guise of pitching songs to her that Janson first approached Kelly, inviting her to his cabin to co-write songs.

While the 'Drunk Girls' crooner might have immediately pinpointed his future wife when he saw Kelly, little did he know that she was equally struck by Janson at first sight.

US reveals pick for Nato's next supreme allied commander
President Donald Trump 's administration announced on Thursday its nomination for the next top US general in Europe and said the US military officer would also assume the traditional role of Supreme Allied Commander Europe (Saceur). Trump's decision to nominate US Air Force Lieutenant General Alexus Grynkewich to both roles, which was first reported by Reuters, will relieve European Nato allies and even some of Trump's fellow Republicans amid concerns about a retrenchment in American military leadership of Nato Grynkewich must be confirmed by the US Senate. The position of Saceur, which oversees all Nato operations in Europe, has been filled by a US general since its creation after World War II. US Army General Dwight D. Eisenhower became the alliance's first Saceur in 1951. Still, since taking office in January, Trump's administration has pressured Nato allies to ramp up their defence spending, saying Europe should be primarily responsible for defence on the European continent. Speaking at Nato headquarters earlier on Thursday, US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said he was confident that members of the Nato alliance would agree to a major boost in defence spending.

NBA Finals: Thunder such heavy favourites that bettors are staying away
The Oklahoma City Thunder are such heavy favourites to win the NBA title that many bettors are looking for other wagers instead. Advertisement Professional bettors, in particular, have searched out player propositions and hit the under on the totals rather than take the Thunder at -700 at BetMGM Sportsbook or -650 at DraftKings Sportsbook. Indiana is listed at +500 at BetMGM and +475 at DraftKings for the NBA Finals. 'It's just not enticing to bet a money line or spread,' BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said. 'That number kind of scares you off even if you do like the Pacers. You're like, 'They're +500 for a reason'.' The Thunder have won seven games this postseason by double digits, four by at least 30 points. Oklahoma City are the biggest favourites since Golden State in 2018, according to That Warriors team, led by Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, were listed at -1075 and swept past Cleveland and LeBron James. Tyrese Haliburton of the Indiana Pacers is among the contenders for the MVP award. Photo: TNS The Thunder franchise won their only previous title in 1979, when they were in Seattle and known as the SuperSonics. The team relocated to Oklahoma City in 2008.
