While McBryde is often transparent in her interviews, the 39-year-old tends to draw the line regarding matters concerning her love life. Even though she has been in the limelight for many years, the singer has kept her relationship status a mystery.

When one of her bandmates and friend got involved in a fatal accident, the singer [McBryde] was concerned about his health, and through her social media page, asked fans to support him with his medical needs.

She has never been married, and it's unclear if she is in any relationship, but some of her songs have given fans a glimpse into her dating life.

When McBryde and Carly Pearce released "Never Wanted To Be That Girl," the song performed well, and they won a Grammy for the best country/duo group performance. McBryde told PEOPLE that she and Pearce's willingness to be honest with each other contributed to the music becoming a hit.

Pearce also told the publication that the two bonded over a real-life story while writing the song. The song, which is at 19 million views on Youtube as of this writing, follows a story told from two female perspectives as they struggle with experiencing infidelity in the same relationship.

When McBryde released "Andy (I Can't Live Without You)," fans thought the song was about a loved one because of the sensitive details she shared. However, in 2018 during an interview, the singer dismissed the claims and clarified that the song was about Andrew Sovine, her band guitarist and roommate. She said:

"That whole song came about because I had gotten home before him and asked when he was gonna get to the house, and he texted and said he wasn't coming home that night."

In the song, McBryde shares intimate details about how she and Sovine would hang out and play games together while drunk and how she would sometimes get offended when Sovine would use her towels on the dog.
