Jeremy Camp's Wife Adrienne Initially Thought He Was Not Her Type

Although Adrienne Camp didn't think her husband, Jeremy Camp, would be a good match, she found a best friend in the Christian singer. The couple will celebrate 20 years of marital bliss toward the end of 2023.

On July 12, 2023, longtime vocalist Jeremy Camp shared a heartwarming birthday tribute in honor of his wife, Adrienne Camp. It was a photo of the couple walking in a blurred, picturesque natural landscape.

With her hand clasped in Jeremy's, who faced away from the camera, Adrienne wore a gray striped top with a white cardigan and a silver necklace, smiling happily at her husband as the sun brightened her short ginger tresses.

Wishing her a happy birthday, he wrote. "You are a gift to so many people. Thank you for loving Jesus first and loving us all so well. You're my best friend in [the] world, and [I] can't wait to see what God has in store for this next year of your life."

Jeremy had been married before he met his current partner. Adrienne is the singer's second wife following the death of his first, Melissa Lynn Henning-Camp, who lost her battle with cancer in 2001.

Adrienne Camp Is a Singer and Bible Study Teacher

Adrienne was born in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, in 1981. In the early 2000s, she was part of the Christian rock band The Benjamin Gate. Currently, she leads the online As for Me Bible Study sessions on Lifeway.

She has an Instagram account where she shares snippets and behind-the-scenes glimpses of these sessions. Additionally, Adrienne shares posts about other endeavors and frequent life updates. She is also an author.

In 2020, she and her husband released their biographical book "In Unison: The Unfinished Story of Jeremy and Adrienne Camp." The pair explained that the book didn't contain all the details of their lives but documented the lessons they learned as a married couple.

Inside Adrienne Camp and Jeremy Camp's Relationship

Adrienne and Jeremy met in 2002 when Jeremy promoted his hit album "Stay." In "Unison," Adrienne wrote of how Jeremy didn't exactly fit the criteria of the man she imagined herself marrying.

"Oh no, I've heard his music, and he's definitely not my type," she remembered herself saying. "I was convinced I would marry a visual artist — a painter, sculptor, or photographer — perhaps tall, skinny, and oozing creativity."

Getting to know Jeremy during his tour changed her mind, and the lovebirds married in 2003. Today, they are parents to three children, Bella, Arie, and Egan, and the youngsters frequently appear on their parents' socials.

Adrienne Camp and Jeremy Camp's Love for One Another

With full-time work sometimes keeping them apart, Adrienne and Jeremy often write each other love letters online. In a July 2022 post, Adrienne revealed she and Jeremy had only spent one night together throughout the month and still had to wait a few more days before they reunited.

"Some days, the cost feels greater simply because I miss him so much. Even after all these years (almost 20 years of being together), he's still my favorite person to be with," she mused. Later that year, on their 19th anniversary, Jeremy wrote of how life "wouldn't be the same" without Adrienne.

In addition to co-authoring a book with her in 2020, he released a biopic chronicling pivotal moments in his life. Titled "I Still Believe," the film starred KJ Apa, who portrays Jeremy alongside Shania Twain, a fellow singer who has also dealt with tragedy.
