Who Was Kellie Pickler’s Late Husband Kyle Jacobs?

Similar to American Idol alum Kellie Pickler, Kyle Jacobs was an incredible musician. Now, the 49-year-old wasn’t a singer, but he was a songwriter and producer. Jacobs wrote for some of the biggest names in country music, including Garth Brooks, Kelly Clarkson, and Tim McGraw.

Jacobs was fantastic at his job and showcased it in a post with the musician’s Spotify stats. In 2022, songs written by had gotten over 46 million streams on Spotify. And while he wasn’t one to brag, Jacobs’ team knew he had to share it with the world. He wrote, “I know I haven’t posted much lately, but the office told me I needed to post this…So, here it is…Kinda cool seeing how a song created in a little room on Music Row can reach so many people…Feeling very blessed right now…Thank you Jesus!”

And, of course, during his time as a songwriter and producer, Jacobs also collaborated with his wife. In fact, US Weekly revealed Jacob had used his profession as a pickup line when he first met Pickler. He had introduced himself to the musician by saying, “Hi, I’m Kyle. I’m a songwriter.” Immediately, Pickler was interested in Jacobs, and the two began working with one another the following day. From “The Woman I Am” to “Mother’s Day,” the couple collaborated to create some smash hits in Pickler’s discography.
