Gabby Barrett may typically be the one in the spotlight, but she passed the mic to her fellow artist husband, Cade Foehner, during a recent performance at the Seven Seas Food Festival in Orlando’s Sea World.
Music is the foundation of the couple’s relationship: They met back in 2018, when they were both competitors on Season 16 of American Idol. Gabby came in third that season, while Cade finished in the top five.
When he took the spotlight, Cade treated fans to a performance of an unreleased song called “I Love You,” which — of course — he wrote for Gabby.
“I wrote it for her a long time ago…when we first started dating,” Cade told the crowd in his slow, Southern drawl, with Gabby interjecting to joke, “He’s not from Orlando, if you can’t tell.”
Apparently, both members of the couple draw musical inspiration from their relationship. Gabby’s chart-topping hit, “The Good Ones,” was based on her relationship with Cade.
If Cade looks familiar to some fans, that’s because he’s Gabby’s road guitarist and sometimes sings backing vocals. However, a vocal performance spotlighting Cade is a little bit rarer of a sight.
The country couple got married in 2019 and are parents to a one-year-old daughter named Baylah May.
