Bobby Bones met Caitlin Parker in 2019 on the set of the reality show Dancing With The Stars. Parker had visited the set with a friend and was introduced to Bones, who had won the previous season of the show. In his 2021 appearance on Running Wild With Bear Grylls, the American Idol mentor revealed little-known details about their first meeting. He said:

"She didn't even want to go out with me. Let me be honest for a second. Someone like her, look at her. Look at me. This is a mismatch. Let's be honest here."

Bobby Bones added that as their relationship developed, the kind of love he experienced was something that he had only read in books or seen in movies. He said:

"I'd only seen it on movies or read about it in books. And if you've never experienced it, you start to go, 'Either something's wrong with me, or everybody's lying.' And so I met her and then it was just like a recharge inside of me. And for me, that was really one of the best things that's ever happened to me."

The couple dated for two years, and in October 2020 Bobby Bones announced his engagement to Caitlin Parker through an Instagram post. He said:

"I am the luckiest. I waited so long for the right one. And it payed off. Surprised her with a secret proposal in the barn in the backyard. After she said yes, our song 'nothing left to lose' by Mat Kearney was playing outside. And it was @matkearney playing it. She said it was at Mat's concert during this song that she knew I was the one for her," Bones explained.So lucky he played it again for only us tonight. I'm so happy I get marry to love of my life."

Caitlin Parker, who was born on February 4, 1992, grew up in Oklahoma. She has two siblings, and she earned her Masters degree in the midst of the pandemic. According to People magazine, since she was not able to attend the official graduation, Bobby Bones arranged for a graduation ceremony at home to celebrate the special moment.

The couple tied the knot in July 2021 in the backyard of their Nashville home. In an exclusive interview with People, Bobby Bones revealed why they decided to opt for a wedding at their home, a celebration that was attended by many big names from the industry. He said:

"We love home. We picked this place out together — that was really one of the first decisions that we made as a couple. And so she thought, 'What if we got married here?'"

Caitlin Parker, who has a 12-year age difference with Bobby Bones, added that getting married at home in Nashville was the perfect way to signify a new beginning. She said:

"It was such a big gesture for Bobby to want to get a home for us both, that had some of my touches. We got to start fresh. For me, it really wasn't even a question. It was just — if we're getting married in Nashville, we're getting married at the house."

Earlier, during a 2020 interview with People, Caitlin Parker shared how she ended up living in Nashville after traveling there during the pandemic. She said:

"I'm going stay for about a week because L.A. is shut down and Nashville isn't.' It was just, 'I'd rather be with my boyfriend locked in the house than by myself in L.A. locked in the house,' so that part was easy. It was months later when I was about to graduate grad school where we had to really think about if I was going to officially make the move or continue long-distance."

Bobby Bones and Caitlin Parker, who have both in an interview with People, shared they wished to start their own family, are currently the proud pet parents of two dogs, Stanley and Elder, both of whom played important roles during the couple's wedding.
