Grant's marriage with singer Gary Chapman, who she married in 1982 and welcomed three children, was experiencing a course similar to that of Gill's. Amy, who met Vince in 1993 to collaborate on Gill's Christmas concert in Tulsa, was instantly attracted to the Oklahoma stud, and so was Vince to Grant, But it wasn't until Amy's divorce from Chapman in 1999 that she admitted to her illicit infatuation with Gill.

"I think that a part of me loved him instantly," Grant confessed years later. The Ageless Medley crooner says she thought she had the happiest family life until Gill came along. Overwhelmed by the unprecedented situation, Grant recalls a faith crisis and lambast from her fans, who pulled out her albums from shelves, and some stations stopped playing her songs. But the condemning babble wasn't going to stop the duo, who started dating shortly after their divorce and got hitched on March 10, 2000.

After their tranquil nuptials on a rainy day on the hillside outskirts of Nashville, Gill and Grant now had a new yearning that would complete their union- to form a blended family. "In our wedding pictures, all of the children are grim-faced and understandably so because these were not their choices," Amy says in an interview. Grant says her and Gill's level-headed approach and patience eventually brought their kids together. The singer duo went on to welcome a daughter of their own, Corrina, in March 2001.
