Congrats, Jay and Sara. I wish nothing but the best for you, Jay, your four children, and your new fiance...

...and Sara's three children.

...and that's the way they became the Barker Bunch!

Hopefully they'll produce awesome Alabama kids!

Glad Jay has better days ahead, considering what he went through.

Exactly! He deserves a happy, healthy relationship. Sounds like that's what he has with Sara.

Wow.

Evans, 37, who has three children with ex Craig Schelske, and Barker, who has four children from his previous marriage, began dating before Thanksgiving last year. Evans's divorce was finalized in September.

Add seven (yes that's 7) children to a relatiohship that's around 6 months old and you have...

...well, good luck with that...

Seriously, I absolutely wish them the best, but this has disaster written all over it...

As a parent, I think they will be stopping at 7.

Maybe there will be a Sarah Evans halftime show in our future.

I've heard the stories and all the gossip; however, it does "sound" like they have something good. From all I've heard, this situation with Sara could never be as bad as the one he found himself in with his previous relationship.

This is something we all saw coming & were so happy to get the news yesterday - and by the way - they are to be featured on an upcomng 20/20 or one of those shows. (about celebrities who have gone thru tough times, relationship-wise & have not only recovered but come out the better for it) - so be watching for the B'Ham News to alert everyone as to when it'll be aired.

ANYWAY - we all need to be so proud that we can say that Jay is a former ALABAMA QB - he is by far the greatest person (not only a QB who exibited this or that atheletically speaking) - but he is truly the BEST. There are lots of these guys who exude this "public personna" which is not what they're like in their "real life" AT ALL (& so many fans just assume that these guys are so awesome, which only feeds onto that already big ego...) - & those egos are pretty unbelieveable. But Jay is the same all the time - exactly what you see in the public eye & he is the same humble & genuine person 100% of the time too. We are so lucky to be able to say he's a BAMA GUY!

(Oh - Those 7 kids some of you are concerned about: all 7 won't & don't live with Jay or Sarah at this time, & that's not going to change- all 7 are good with the situation & things will be fine!)

well, for BOTH of their sakes, I honestly hope they're ready to make each other happy; and only each other. That has the potential to be a big ol' house full of love and happiness if they'll take advantage of it.

 

[GrayTide]

don't keep up much? Actually, as long as she's finished playing musical beds around the Nashville music scene, he should be happy.

There you go ruining it for all of us. :biggrin2: If she's got plenty of money he ought to be happy. Can't imagine working a radio spot brings in a lot of loot especially when you have to pay child maintenance for 4 kids.

She's friends with a friend of mine's wife, so I'm looking to hook up a Jay autograph....maybe a weekly spot on his radio show? 7 kids? Don't be surprised if they move to TN....we got a lottery up here!

 

[RamJammer]

The 7 children don't live with them now & won't be later on either.

Guys, this was moved to NS the first time around because everyone felt the need to comment on both messy divorces and various other issues. We don't need a repeat of the old thread. Anyone wanting the dirty laundry need just find the old thread and leave it at that.

 

[dvldog]

Ok, I'll bite. So where will all these kids live if not w/them?
