Gabby Barrett Turned Down Duets to Honor Husband: ‘Not Going to Jeopardize My Marriage’

Gabby Barrett Turned Down Duets to Honor Husband: ‘Not Going to Jeopardize My Marriage’

By Movieguide® Contributor

Country singer Gabby Barrett has remained loyal to her husband, Cade Foehner, by turning down multiple opportunities to sing duets with other musicians.

Barrett shared why she said no to those opportunities while on the “Unexpected with Hannah Love” podcast.

“There’s been large song opportunities that have come in for me to duet on or be a part of and something between myself and my husband…I respect him a ton, and I listen to what he has to say, and I think he deserves that,” she said on the podcast.

“There’s been songs that have been not appropriate to sing wording-wise, like these love songs that are really intimate wording-wise,” she continued. “And then when you accept a song, there’s obligations that go along with it, that you could sing it on awards shows together, you might be doing interviews together. What does that look like on the stage? What does that dynamic look like if I’m singing with another man? Is that going to make my husband uncomfortable? Probably.”

“I respect him and love him so much that I am not going to jeopardize my marriage to do a duet with somebody,” she added. “I care about this a lot more, and I pray and hope and know that God will bless my efforts in trying to keep my marriage straight and not…just for a duet or whatever it is.”

According to PEOPLE, “Foehner currently accompanies Barrett on guitar during all of her live performances. The pair met as contestants on season 16 of AMERICAN IDOL in 2018, and were married in October 2019 after a seven-month engagement.”

Before the couple gave birth to their first child, Barrett praised her husband’s kindness throughout her pregnancy.

“He’s just been very nice. He rubs my feet every single night. He’s been extra, extra thoughtful,” she said of her husband. “And pregnancy can sometimes bring on mood swings and all of those crazy things from the lovely hormones. He’s just been very patient about it and very understanding.”
