She gets that people come see me to party and let loose. She’s never gotten in the way of that or put handcuffs on how I perform.” The CMA Awards host also revealed that in the early days of their relationship, when he was making $15,000 a year in pursuit of stardom, Caroline helped pay the bills with her job as a pharmaceutical sales rep.
