HOW THEY FIRST HIT IT OFF
The pair attended Georgia Southern University together back in the ‘90s. They first bumped into each other in a bar named Dingus Magee’s, and the singer realized within seconds that she was his soulmate.
After a couple of rounds of booze, the then college finalist was courageous enough to approach her and won her over with his charms.
Bryan was three years ahead of his other half in college, but despite the 3-year gap between them, the two connected instantly.
For the next two and a half years, they became college sweethearts, until the relationship hit the rocks in 2001.
THE LOVEBIRDS SPLIT UP FOR OVER FIVE YEARS
Their breakup came as a horrible feat to both parties, but they both knew it was inevitable at the time. Caroline ended the love affair when she was a college sophomore.

According to the 39-year-old, she was young, and the relationship was moving too fast for her as Bryan kept discussing their marriage plans, so she got freaked out.
Following their breakup, the country singer, who was by then a college graduate left for Nashville to pursue his music career, and get his feet back on the ground, while his soulmate stayed back in Georgia to bag her college degree.
The forty-three-year-old once joked that while it took him eight seconds to realize they were meant to be life partners, it took Caroline eight long years to figure it out.
GETTING BACK TOGETHER FOR BETTER OR WORSE
After over five years of dealing with post-breakup dramas, exploring other partners, and facing life issues, their destinies intertwined again, in another bar!
The music artist was in Statesboro for a performance, and the 39-year-old was in town as well.
When she heard from her brother that her college sweetheart was playing that night at a bar, the mother of two made a point of going to watch him perform.
She left early before they got a chance to talk, but the 43-year-old called her up at 3 am asking why she left without warning, and the pair got talking.
