Vince Gill's Temper Doesn't Amount to Much
How could you not dive into a magazine whose cover shouts that Vince Gill has a temper? Vince Gill? Who seems like the most easygoing, even-keeled man around? I highly doubt that. So I flipped to page 134 of the February issue of Good Housekeeping to see what it was all about. While the story, titled "The Second Time's the Charm," is mostly about the beginnings of Gill and Amy Grant's romance back in 1993, their eventual marriage in 2000 and their Brady Bunch of a family, there's no big reveal about another side of Gill. There's no part of this story that paints a picture of Gill losing his temper -- just one little anecdote about him losing his patience on a trip to Africa when Grant accidentally flooded their suitcases by leaving the bathtub running. I'd hardly call that a temper. But overall, it's a nice look at the life the two singers have built together in Nashville.

What a lovely story-a storybook romance. Except they were both still married and living with their spouses in 1993. What a wonderful christian rolemodel!!!!!!!!
Peacock Queen says:
I have been unsure of my feelings for Amy Grant and Vince Gill for a while now. I have loved them both dearly as artists for many, many years. Grant’s Christmas album from the mid-80s is one of my all-time favorites, and I have loved Vince since he was singing background vocals with Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton, waaaaaaay before he was a star in his own right. As for their relationship? Dolly Parton once said, “You can’t stop love.” So I guess with regard to Gill’s and Grant’s divorces from their first spouses and subsequent marriage, I will just go with Dolly’s explanation.

I’m with you cmf… they were both still married at the time. I liked them both way back then, but they turned out to be phonies. I don’t want to hear anything about their “love” story… it’s crap. They saw something they liked better than what they had already made a commitment to, ended their marriages and well.. you know the story. They are just soooo happy together… finally found their true love. Who cares!!

Two spousal cheaters on the cover of Good Housekeeping? Sarcastically asking…who’s marketing genius idea was that?
Sonya says:
They look very happy together. Why do u reach for the bible so quickly? so yep..we should all be unhappy in our marriage? watever. She didnt break up his marriage and he didnt break up hers..they both had marriages that were looking to break up before they even met…there was obvious signs if it ended in divorce. Good for you for casting the first stone…you must be really proud
cmf says:
Sonya-where do you see the bible mentioned?
Patty says:
Sonya, marriage is about commitment, and sometimes you have to stick with it, even through some unhappy times. Vince Gill had everyone believing he was so happy with Janis, writing so many love songs about them. I bought into all of it. Granted, sometimes things happen and it ends.. whatever. But these two didn’t leave their spouses, and then meet. They met, and then left their spouses.
Sonya says:
Sorry I should of said when you pull the God/christian card into the mix…of course marriage is a commitment but life happens and things dont always end up the way you thought they would..who cares about any of it..if they met and liked eachother while still being married there were obvious things going on to begin with. I dont believe that just because you are married means you are ment to be together forever. People tend to tell you things are better than they really are..behind closed doors everything is always different..doesnt matter who the couple is..famous or not.
All I’m saying is, if they left their spouses after meeting then something was wrong in both marriages..why stay with someone if they are not fully in it with you? it hurts sure..but in the long run you are both better off.
Patty says:
Sonya, we can agree to disagree. We look at marriage differently I think.. I do believe it is a lifetime commitment through good and bad times. And the God/Christian “card” was Amy Grant’s soapbox for a long time. However, you are right about one thing.. who cares. Their ex-spouses are probably better off without them.
Jessa says:
I agree with you Patty…their ex spouses are probably better off without them!
Gary says:
You’re right.
Belle says:
Wow…..some of you guys really have a strong dislike for Vince Gill and Amy Grant. I am just discovering them. Well, him anyway. I still don’t listen to her music yet. He has a beautiful voice. I won’t judge them. That’s for God alone to do.
