Gabby Barrett and Cade Foehner have been married since 2019, but it wasn’t easy for her to get his attention at first. The two met while competing on Season 16 of American Idol in 2018, and Barrett said she was immediately struck by his “appealing” features and ability to play guitar.

The “I Hope” singer appeared on Kaitlyn Bristowe‘s Off the Vine podcast and opened up about the early days of her romance with her now-husband. Admittedly, Barrett didn’t have much game while pursuing Foehner.
