Hardy put on a very affectionate display with wife, Caleigh Ryan, as they shared a bold kiss on the red carpet at the 57th Annual CMA Awards in Nashville on Wednesday.
The singer/songwriter, 33 – who recently celebrated his one-year anniversary with Ryan – couldn’t hide his love for his wife as they joined other country music stars at the ceremony, such as Kelsea Ballerini and Keith Urban.

The moment was similar to previous steamy kisses between Kourtney Kardashian and Blink-182 drummer, Travis Barker.
Hardy – whose full name is Michael Wilson Hardy – opted for a monochromatic ensemble while appearing at the event, which was held at the Bridgestone Arena.

The performer slipped into a pair of sleek, black dress shoes and added a flashy, silver necklace that rested on top of the shirt.
His wife, Caleigh, put on a glamorous display wearing a dazzling, strapless red gown that formed to her stunning physique.
A thigh-high slit was placed on the left portion of the eye-catching dress for a sultry flare to the look.
She slipped into a pair of open-toed heels that contained glittering, silver straps that sparkled under the bright lights.
Her dark locks were parted to the side, and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in elegant curls.
Ryan accessorized the look for the evening by adding a dainty, silver necklace as well as dangly earrings. She also wore a few, silver rings on each of her hands for a flashy touch.
Her makeup was glammed up, and comprised of a layer of mascara to her long lashes as well as a smoky shadow around her eyes.

A warm blush was added to better accentuate her cheekbones, while a glossy, nude-colored tint was worn on her lips for a finishing touch.
The pair were seen striking a variety of poses together on the carpet, and also shared a number of sweet kisses.
Hardy and Caleigh’s romance began in 2018 when he sent her a message via Instagram after she had popped up on his For You page.
After three years of dating, the singer popped the big question in 2021 at the Lyric Oxford Theater in Mississippi – where they had first met in-person.
And last year in October 2022, the lovebirds said ‘I do’ during a romantic ceremony in Nashville – where the happy couple currently reside. Last month, the two celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary.
At the time of the nuptials, Hardy told People, ‘I loved her after the third time that we ever hung out.’
He further gushed, ‘It was the realest thing I had ever experienced. I actually told her I loved her at Stagecoach, out in the crowd.’
Caleigh also had sweet words to say about the performer and expressed, ‘He is very caring and very thoughtful and a very loving person.’
‘A lot of people don’t get to see that. It just makes it feel that much more special to me that I get to share those moments and sides of his personality with him.’
