Kellie Pickler’s Nashville home was the scene of a family tragedy
It’s no surprise that Pickler is ready to part with her Nashville mansion. The home, which Pickler bought in 2010, has a dark history for the country music star. Pickler’s husband, Kyle Jacobs, was found dead in an upstairs bedroom in February 2023. Jacobs’ death was investigated as an apparent suicide.
Following his death, Pickler retreated from the limelight, returning over the summer to thank fans for their outpouring of love and support. She also noted that she was planning a private memorial service for Jacobs in the fall. When that occurred is unknown. Still, it looks like Pickler is ready to move on from the home that holds both happy and tragic memories.
In May, an insider told OK! Magazine that Pickler had not returned to the Nashville mansion since Jacobs’ sudden death. According to the source, the starlet couldn’t bear to be inside the home. Instead, she opted to stay with friends and family in the months following Jacobs’ death. According to the source, she peeked in and oversaw work on the property but couldn’t sleep in the home she once shared with her late husband.
Pickler and Jacobs began dating in 2008, two years after Pickler appeared on American Idol, the show that launched her music career. In 2011, the couple eloped. They settled into the Tudor-style home. Pickler and Jacobs appeared together in a reality TV series. They did not share any children.
