For almost eight years, Mary Beougher has been married to the man who reportedly saved country music, famous country musician Randy Travis, whose been in the industry for more than four decades.

Although they have been going strong since the start of their romance, Mary Beougher's relationship with the singer was once shrouded with controversy. The pair met when they were both still married to their ex-partners and had an affair.

After their messy divorces from their former spouses, she said yes when the singer proposed to her in 2013. Unfortunately, the love of her life suffered a life-threatening stroke.

When the hospital admitted Travis, his condition was critical, and shortly after he got there, he suffered a stroke, leaving him in a semi-coma state.

The doctors informed Beougher that the singer needed emergency brain surgery. According to them, he had no chance of survival without the surgery, but with the surgery, he had a one percent chance of survival.
