Is Billy Gilman Married? Relationship

Billy Gilman and his boyfriend Chris, who are inseparable and completely in love, have identified themselves as ‘couple goals’ for people to emulate.
The duo’s fearlessness in expressing their affection for each other in interviews and social media posts has resulted in a streak of ‘aww’ moments during their relationship term.
In a 2015 interview with Out and About Nashville, the former Grammy-nominated country musician expressed his affection for his coworker,
“I was in my twenties before I truly began to soul-search and learn more about myself.” Then I met my lover Chris [Meyer] and thought, ‘This is it,’ and that’s when I realized love is love… I have a wonderful family. My folks were always on time. When I met my boyfriend, I discovered a lovely extended family that just allowed us to be ourselves!”
Billy and Chris, who describe themselves as “partners in crime for life,” are thus exhibiting every sign of marriage.
While there has been no word on their marriage, it wouldn’t be surprising if the announcement comes soon, as the couple approaches the four-year mark.

How did Billy Gilman start his Professional Career?
Billy Gilman, 30, has experienced some spectacular highs and lows in his very short career. The low point of his career came in 2014 when he was blackmailed by a reporter who threatened to expose his sexuality.
Troubled by persistent blackmail, the musician decided in November 2014 to come out openly about his sexuality. Billy revealed his sexual inclinations on YouTube on the same day that fellow country artist Ty Herndon claimed to be gay.
“It’s difficult for me to make this video, not because I’m embarrassed to be a homosexual male artist, a gay artist, or a gay human.”
But it’s ridiculous to be ashamed of doing this since I’m in a genre and industry that is ashamed of me for being me.”
Despite the anxiety that the One Voice singer expressed in his coming-out video that the music industry would reject him, he has always had the support of his lover Chris Meyer. The couple began dating on June 1, 2014, and have been inseparable since.
Billy has gone on to be a finalist on season 11 of the reality singing show The Voice since coming out as openly gay. And, with his engineer partner by his side, a once-dying singing career appears to be reviving one step at a time.
