Jake Owen Hardware Store Meet-Cute Story
The country singer and his now-fiance have been dating since 2017. During an appearance on the All Our Favorite People podcast, he revealed how he met his future wife. It all happened when he was couch shopping at Restoration Hardware.
Erica Hartlein is an interior designer and was working at the store at the time. He told the podcast host that he was “intrigued” by Hartlein’s beauty and confidence. But it took time for him to work up the nerve to ask her to “get a beer.”
And the rest is history. Or a country love song!
Could the Couple Have More Children?
Jake Owen has two children.
At the ABC’s 2018 I’m Coming Home special, Jake Owen surprised both the viewers and his family in the audience with an announcement. He was going to be a dad again. His daughter with Hartlein was born in 2019. The now-19-month-old girl, Paris, was in the engagement announcement photo.
Owen also featured Paris and her mom in his “Made For You” video.
Additionally, Owen has an 8-year-old daughter, Olive Pearl, with his ex-wife. The former couple split up in 2015, long before his meet-cute with Hartlein in a hardware store.
