Leighanne also shared a post celebrating their anniversary, writing, “TWENTY FIVE YEARS Married and 28 years together! Happy Anniversary.”

“Wow. We have been through it and back again,” she continued. “Making every situation as good as we can and having fun in the process! It takes a lot to know what’s love (song game) see what I did there? any who! It’s been a ride and we are still rollin!”

The couple spoke to PEOPLE about their marriage in 2020 when they were marking their 20th anniversary. 

“Who would’ve thunk it? We did it!” Brian joked, with Leighanne adding, “Especially in Hollywood and in this industry, 20 years is like 100 years, actually.”

The boyband member chalked their marriage’s success up to “a lot of communication and a lot of trust,” adding, “Nothing is ever peachy keen and perfect all the time, but being able to grow together instead of growing apart is the big thing.”

Brian has been in the music industry for decades, and it looks like his son is set to follow in his footsteps. Baylee, 22, recently competed on AMERICAN IDOL, where he made it to the Top 20 before being eliminated. 

“To be honest with you, I didn’t want him to do it at first, but they courted him for a couple of years,” Brian told Parade. “They were like, ‘Come and audition,’ and he was like, ‘Nah.’ I don’t think he was ready at that time, but he did well. He stepped up. He’s super professional. He’s just a great individual. He’s just a great person. He has a heart of gold, and he’s super talented.”

He continued, “I get choked up a little bit when I talk about my boy. He’s just [the] most inspiring thing in my life right now. He inspires me more than anything.”

From a strong and lengthy marriage to watching their son start a music career of his own, the Littrells have a lot to be thankful for these days!
