Get to know Gabby Barrett and her relationship with Cade Foehner: Complete story here!  

Best recognized for finishing third in the sixteenth season of American Idol, Gabby Barrett is a country singer and a songwriter.

Although she initially started with a keen interest in R&B and even became a local celebrity at a tender age, Barrett's hidden penchant for country music started unfolding as she grew up. Barrett made quite the headlines when she married fellow American Idol contestant Cade Foehner at 19.
