Cody Johnson’s Romantic Marriage Proposal
Cody Johnson sings romantic songs each night on his 2025 “Leather Tour,” including his huge hit “The Painter,” which, while he didn’t write the song, he has often said that it tells the story of his relationship with his wife, Brandi.
As Valentine’s Day approaches on Friday (2/14), Cody shares the romantic way he proposed to his wife. He told us, “This might be really cheesy … On our first date, I took her to a Texas Roadhouse here locally, and we sat in a booth, and I was just so in love, and I could not wait to make her my wife.”
He continued, “A year later to the date, we parked in the same spot, went to the same booth, and when we walked back out to the truck to leave, I got on a knee and asked her to marry me, and it was pretty special.”
The country star concluded, “But I’ve done more romantic things just for the record, I’ve done a lot of stuff just in case my wife is listening.”

Johnson’s star has risen quite a bit in the last few years with hit records, sold-out tours, and award wins, including the 2024 CMA Album of the Year Award for his Leather album.
Cody told us recently that he knows the reason for his success. He said, “If it wasn’t for Brandi, I wouldn’t be here. I am being dead serious when I say that if it weren’t for Brandi, I would probably be dead or in jail.”
He added, “She’s the woman who encouraged me to be the man I am as a husband, as a father, as a CEO of a company, as a leader. I owe everything I have to that woman. If anyone wants to give any applause, that’s the reason.”
