Chris Young Knows Keeping His Love Life Private ‘Drives People Nuts’
Chris Young is a popular country artist who has been on the entertainment scene for almost two decades. After appearing on the reality TV show Nashville Star in 2006, Young landed a record deal and has been in the spotlight ever since.
With tunes like “Voices,” “Lonely Eyes,” and “I Can Take it From There,” it’s no wonder that Young is a fan favorite. While there is a lot of interest in Young’s love life, the star has admitted that he prefers to keep some things low-key, revealing in a 2019 interview that he made a “conscious decision” not to talk about his romances.
What did Chris Young say about keeping his love life private?
It’s not a surprise that fans are invested in knowing as much as they can about Young. After all, he’s a charismatic star who is probably best-known for his romantic country songs. Still, Young has admitted that he doesn’t like to talk about his love life. In a 2019 interview with People Magazine, Young revealed “I know it drives people nuts,” alluding to the fact that he keeps his private life away from the tabloid spotlight.
As reported by Distractify, Young explained:
“But that was a conscious decision I made several years ago. I tell people when I’ve been dating somebody before, but I also do like to keep my private life private. Anytime there’s a really good breakup, I’m like, well, she broke my heart. It’s time to go write an album!”
Young doesn’t even like to tease fans and followers by posting girlfriends on social media, reserving his Instagram for sneak peeks at his tours and performances, as well as for connecting with his fans.

Young doesn’t just get questions from fans and reporters about his love life – the singer’s family is invested in it as well. In a 2013 interview with Katie Couric, Young said that his grandmother is particularly interested in him finding a wife and settling down.
“Christmas and Thanksgiving with my family is a big event, like all of the aunts, uncles, cousins … we were there and my grandmother, so smooth, she comes up and is like, ‘You getting anybody a ring anytime soon?’ I’m like, ‘No.’ … there’s definitely still a little pressure.”
