The members of Lady A are pretty quiet when it comes to their personal lives, so there’s a chance you may not know who Dave Haywood’s wife is. Haywood isn’t just one of the three members of the much-celebrated country group, but one of the founding members.
“We’ve been buddies, you know, for 15 or more years now,” Haywood said (per CBS News). “We grew up together in Augusta, Georgia. So there’s just a comfort level of somebody you’ve known forever.” Haywood’s wife, Kelli Cashiola, was also a friend of his way before anything romantic sparked between them. In fact, they were close buds for five years before things changed (per People). Their friendship was the perfect foundation for a relationship and things moved fast from there. They made their red carpet debut together in November 2011, walking the CMA red carpet hand-in-hand. Less than a month later, Haywood would ask Cashiola to marry him.

Cashiola made a big move by going from a full-time professional to a full-time mom when she and Haywood started a family. A little over two years after getting hitched, the couple welcomed their first child, Cash Van Haywood, on September 8, 2014 (per People). “Cash is taken from Kelli’s maiden name Cashiola and Van is Dave’s father’s name,” the band’s representative noted in a statement.
The Haywoods added to their brood on December 22, 2017, with the birth of Lillie Renee Haywood. “She is named after both of her grandmothers,” Haywood shared on Instagram. “Kelli and Lillie are happy and healthy, and Cash is already a great big brother. God is good!”

Fans commented on the video shocked at how awesome Kelli’s voice is. They got so much great feedback that they followed it up a month later on Instagram with “We Zoomed,” their take on Brad Paisley’s “We Danced.”
