Country Singer Rory Feek, 59, Marries Again in Stunning Cliffside Wedding 8 Years after Losing 1st Wife

Country singer Rory Feek has found love again, eight years after the heartbreaking loss of his beloved wife, Joey Feek. He has tied the knot with Rebecca, a lady who has been teaching his 10-year-old daughter.

Rory recently shared the joyous news that he has tied the knot with Rebecca, a dedicated schoolteacher who has been teaching his daughter, Indiana Feek, for years. This heartwarming union was made even more special by the encouragement of Indiana herself.

In the touching blog post, Rory opened up about the beautiful journey that led him and Rebecca to this special moment. He revealed that the idea of marrying Rebecca began as a simple song, a seed planted in his heart by God as he strummed his guitar.

Despite their deepening relationship, Rory and Rebecca had been cautious about discussing marriage, especially considering Indiana’s profound love for her late mother. The turning point came one morning in late March. As usual, Rebecca arrived at the farmhouse to take Indy to school, but that day, something extraordinary happened.

After their customary morning prayer, they stepped out but soon after, they both returned to the kitchen. Rebecca then told Rory that Indiana had something to tell them. With all the innocence and wisdom of a child, she asked, “Ms. Rebecca, I think you should marry Papa.”

Rory was caught off guard but deeply moved. Indiana explained her reasoning, saying, “My Mama’s been gone a long time. And if she marries you, maybe she could be my new mother.” Overwhelmed with emotion, Rory knew this was a sign. After much prayer and heartfelt conversation, the couple decided to take this brave step forward.

The wedding took place on a sunny Sunday afternoon, July 14, in the picturesque town of Greycliff, Montana, held under a beautiful timber-frame pavilion.

The ceremony was a surprise to many of their family and friends, who were thrilled to join in the celebration despite the short notice. Rory’s gift to Rebecca was a beautiful song that he had worked on since April.

As Rory Feek reflected on the day, he expressed his gratitude for the chance to love again and to make Rebecca happy. The country singer explained how incredibly blessed he felt to have found a new partner to share his life with, and to create new memories with his daughter, Indiana.

In Rory’s own words, “I found myself thinking about how blessed I was to be given the opportunity to love again. To not only feel loved but to get the chance to give love again. To be the one who gets to spend my life making Rebecca happy.”

Rory has found the courage to marry again eight years after losing his wife Joey to cancer at the age of 40. Joey passed away on March 4, 2016, leaving an indelible mark on Rory’s life. In a deeply moving blog post, Rory recounted her final moments and the profound impact she had on him and their family.

“My wife’s greatest dream came true today,” Rory wrote, capturing the bittersweet solace he found in Joey’s passing. “She is in Heaven. The cancer is gone, the pain has ceased, and all her tears are dry. Joey is in the arms of her beloved brother Justin and using her pretty voice to sing for her savior,” he penned.

The singer revealed that Joey took her last breath at 2:30 p.m. surrounded by her praying family. In her final moments, Rory held her hand and kissed her goodbye.

Despite the many tears of sorrow, Rory also recounted countless tears of joy and beautiful moments that filled the difficult time. “When a person has been through as much pain and struggle as Joey’s been through, you just want it to be over,” he explained.

Joey’s funeral service was a deeply emotional event, held in a grove of sassafras trees behind their farmhouse. Friends and family gathered to say goodbye to the woman Rory described as “the greatest person I have ever known.”

The service began in their barn, which also served as a concert hall.

During the funeral service, The Isaacs sang “It Is Well With My Soul,” and Pastor Jerry Young, who had baptized Joey in her small hometown church in Indiana, shared heartfelt memories of her.

When it was Rory’s turn to speak, he stood on the stage, looking at his wife’s sweet picture, and found that words were not enough to express how much she meant to him.

In 2021, five years after the heartbreaking loss of his wife Joey, Rory opened up about the passage of time and the enduring presence of his late wife in his life. He reflected on the complexity of grief, noting that, sometimes felt like Joey’s death was just yesterday, and other times it seemed like another lifetime altogether.

At the time, Rory was still living in the quaint farmhouse in Pottsville that he shared with Joey. He described the vast homestead as a place where time often seemed to stand still, preserving the memories of their life together.

He also spoke about their daughter Indiana, who was just two years old when Joey passed away. Rory noted that Indiana had grown into a “little person.” He mentioned that observing her development was a poignant reminder of the passing years, emphasizing how the passage of time could be both difficult to grasp and deeply affecting.

Amidst this reflection, Rory has found a renewed sense of happiness and hope. His recent marriage to Rebecca, a schoolteacher who has been a significant part of his and Indiana’s life, marks a new chapter filled with love and promise.

As he continues to navigate life with Indiana and Rebecca by his side, Rory’s journey reflects the healing power of love and the enduring spirit of moving forward.
