The Country Star Embraces Her New Role as Wife, Stepmother

Each noticed their immediate connection.

"That was it. I fell in love with him that night," Evans said.

"I tell her all the time, she's the greatest person I've ever met," Barker added. "All of the sudden we meet, and we fall instantly in love. And not only is she absolutely gorgeous, but her heart is better than any heart I've ever been around. She's an amazing mom. She's an amazing wife."

A mere eight months after their first date Evans and Barker got married with each of their children serving as attendants.

"I cannot believe that I get to share this with him, spend the rest of my life with him, be a stepmother to those amazing children. I mean, just all of it overwhelmed me," Evans said. "I cannot believe I found this man who loves me better than I've ever been loved before in my whole life."

Barker was enamored with his bride.

"She looked gorgeous and I just couldn't wait to say 'I do' and just walk through life with her," he said.

Building A New Life

The couple's new life now includes a total of seven children between them. Evans has three from her previous marriage and Barker has four from his.

"When all seven kids are here -- it's loud," Evans said. "But then, a lot of times, we just sit around and laugh. And there's a lot of huggin' and, you know, lovin' on each other. And -- 'cause I'm trying, you know -- I'm trying to bond with them as much as I possibly can in the limited time that -- that, you know, we have."

"It's controlled chaos, is what it is," Barker added.

It's like their own version of "The Brady Bunch."

"Jay and I both have our kids on the same weekends. And then our exes have the children the same weekends. And so, when we have all seven kids we, they go on the road with us," Evans said.
