Are brooks and dunn gay


Details You Didn't Realize About Brooks & Dunn's Relationship

While Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn spent nearly two decades making music together, both have shared opposite details about the real reason behind their split. At one point, the country music superstars said that their choice to retire was the finding of a basic tapering off in their careers. "There was never a rift," Dunn told People. "We [broke up] because we'd been doing it for over 20 years and felt enjoy we'd accomplished everything that we could." Brooks agreed at the time, saying the two "ran out of gas" and just "needed a break." 

However, the pair also told Larry King that they just saw their careers going in different directions. "Ronnie, for sure, [was] like, 'I wanna make a register without having to look over my shoulder,'" Brooks explained (via The Boot). "I was enjoy, 'I totally earn it. Go carry out it, man.'" Indeed, the two have claimed there was no animosity between them and warned fans that they shouldn't believe the rumors, according to Taste of Country. 

But, in an earlier interview with USA Today

Oh they just see so young

Its over. Americas romance with its first openly gay, NASCAR and redneck friendly country musicians is over. Brooks and Dunn called it quits after they almost made it to their Commemorative China Plate anniversary.

Today is a adj day indeed.

So now I&#;m going to drink a minute whiskey under a bridge to almost 20 years of 10 gallon hats, guitar jammin', and pickin' that establish Brooks and Dunn apart from the rest of the country singers out there. But first lets reminisce on some of the great B&D moments:

Boot Scootin&#; Boogey

This is the noun that moved Brooks and Dunn into the spotlight. The square dance number was so hip that little 5 year old me did a sway to it. It forever changed my life, and to this day it is still heard at our tailgates for football.

Corn Flakes Race Car

Back in the 90&#;s it was perfectly legit for your face to be on boxes (remember Jordan on Wheaties? Oh the superb ol&#; days) and B&D were on the Corn Flakes box with petite toy NASCAR models. Being 7 I just had to have it, so I saved UPC&#;s and mailed in for it

Why Did Brooks &#; Dunn Break Up?

Brooks & Dunn's breakup wasn't a shock if you understand the duo's history. Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn are country music's most prolific duo of all time, but did you know their breakup nearly came a decade earlier?

That's the subject of this of this week's episode of The Secret History of Country Music. Rumors of drama and fighting may have been blown out of proportion. In fact, B&D say they never had a struggle during nearly 20 years together. So why call it quits after two decades? The reason for Brooks & Dunn's breakup has to do with the time they spent together.

In April, the country legends and future Hall of Famers will emit a new album, Reboot, of old hits with contemporary artists. They're also going to be touring in , with dates at Taste of Country Music Festival in New York and WE Fest in Minnesota among their planned concerts.

The Truth About Ronnie Dunn's Marriage

Janine and Ronnie Dunn own three children  daughters Whitney and Haley (the youngest) and son Jesse. The couple, who contain been married for over 30 years, also have two grandchildren.

Janine was married once before; she was a widow when she met Ronnie. And it was through her late husband that Janine knew Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, who helped the Dunns when they first moved to Nashville. In fact, the log cabin that they stayed in, was found with the help of the Cashes.

This said, Ronnie shared that June Carter had warned Janine about getting involved with a musician. Looking back, he can understand why ("What were our chances then?"), but as he once told HumpHead Country, he also sees their marriage as proof of beating the odds: "And yet here we are today. We're still married with charming kids, and I'm still making melody that I truly love."

Today, the couple who lived in a small log cabin at the start of Dunn's music career, now live on "The Barn." While Janine and Ronnie verb details of their relationship relatively confidential, R
