Naomi Judd is a country music legend who’s still going strong at the age of 76! The icon, who came from humble beginnings in Kentucky, rose to fame in the 80s as part of the mother/daughter duo The Judds alongside her first-born child Wynonna Judd. The incredible pair would go on to win six Grammy awards, including Best Country Song for the Naomi-penned hit “Love Can Build a Bridge.”

Naomi ended up raising her two daughters as a single parent before she met the love of her life.

Naomi’s second husband, whom she married on May 6, 1989, was born in Raleigh, North Carolina in 1946 to a preacher father. “We come from common backgrounds,” Naomi once said, per Country Fancast. “Larry and I are both from a family of six, very blue collar. He worked in the tobacco fields every summer. My daddy had his own gas station and taught me the hard work ethic. Larry is the most humble person I’ve ever met.”
