Hank Williams Jr. Marries Fiancée Brandi in Alabama

The two have been friends since 2003.

Hank Williams Jr. is married. The  74-year-old Country Music Hall of Famer tied the knot with his fiancée Brandi in a small ceremony in Alabama, according to a post on the singer's official Facebook page.

"Please congratulate Mr. And Mrs. Hank Williams Jr! Hank and Brandi were married on Sept 9, 2023 at Enon Baptist Church in Banks, Alabama in front of a small group of family and friends," the post read. "A reception followed at Kendall Hall in Troy, Alabama."

The post went on to explain that Williams Jr. got engaged to Brandi earlier this year on Mother's Day and that the two have known one another and been friends since 2003.

Speculation about an engagement rose after a post shared on Aug. 27  from The Pure Hank Radio Show featured a photo of the couple and referred to Brandi as Williams' fiancée. Another photo of the couple was shared by the page on Sept. 4.

"The newly engaged outlaw country music and southern rock legend Hank Williams, Jr. alongside his beautiful and lovely fiancé Brandi," wrote the show's page.

The photo shows Williams with his arms wrapped around Brandi.

The marriage comes nearly a year and a half after the death of Williams' wife, Mary Jane, who passed away in March 2022 at the age of 58. The two were married for 32 years and shared son Sam and daughter Katherine.

In January of this year, Williams shared a photo showing himself and Brandi on a hunting trip. He added the caption, "Sweethearts, Hank & Brandi."

In a post from the Fourth of July, Williams and Brandi can be seen fishing together.

 

Williams paid tribute to his late wife soon after her death in April 2022, reflecting on their "38 wonderful years."

"Her kind spirit and beautiful and endearing love carries on in the hearts of our son, Sam, grandsons Beau and Tennyson, and granddaughter Audrey Jane," he wrote. "Of course, she will be missed and loved by so many forever."

Williams was married twice before saying "I do" to Mary Jane.
