Country Star's Wife Takes Her Crushing Diagnosis Public
After he appeared on Nashville Star in 2008, Coffey became a staple of the country music scene — today, you can catch him on Netflix's Country Ever After. The show follows the beloved country star and his wife Criscilla after she receives a medical diagnosis that changes everything about her charmed life. Criscilla has been left fighting as Coffey scrambles to support the woman he loves.
Love at first sight
From the moment he saw his future wife, Coffey knew it was meant to be. Criscilla is a dancer and choreographer, so the first time Coffey laid eyes on her, it was in no normal scenario.
Thanks, Rhianna
The one and only Rhianna brought them together. Sort of. Coffey saw Criscilla dancing in Rhianna's 2006 music video for her song "SOS." When he noticed her blonde locks, he declared the woman on the screen would be his future wife.
Mutual friend
The setting that finally brought them together was the opposite of a steamy music video set: In 2008, Criscilla was attending church with a friend when she introduced her to Coffey. They were married a year later.
Devout Christians
See, before he gained fame on the country music scene, Coffey used his musical ability to lead worship at church. Both Criscilla and Coffey are deeply devout Christians. Their lives revolve around their faith, as his 2015 album name "God Is Enough" indicates.
