Amy Lee, a singer-songwriter, developed a crush on her present husband, therapist Josh Hartzler when they were both in past relationships.
Furthermore, Evanescence’s lead vocalist and co-founder wrote songs and other music pieces with him in mind, but she never told him.
Years later, the two are married and the parents of a six-year-old kid.
Hartzler was Lee’s crush.
In a 2007 interview with Westword, Lee discussed her unusual love connection with her now-husband, even though they were in separate relationships at the time. The singer stated that she has known Hartzler “since” and that she has always had a thing for him.
However, because they were in separate relationships, she never expressed her sentiments. They, too, had a “distance relationship,” and Lee developed affection for him every time they spoke.
She even tried to shut him out of her life to prevent issues, but the therapist would always track her out. “I knew I had feelings for him every time I talked to him,” she recalls vividly, “so I almost took him out of my life, but he always found me.”
In 2007, I got married.
Lee acknowledged her feelings for Hartzler after years of crushing on him. What’s the end result? They started dating each other.
They became engaged on January 9, 2007, after only a year of dating. When Lee and her band were in Toronto for a performance at the Air Canada Centre, the therapist got down on one knee and proposed to the ‘Bring Me To Life’ singer.
On May 6, the same year, the couple married in Little Rock, Arkansas, in the company of Lee’s grandfather Bob Cargill [who also performed the ceremony], Hartzler’s friend David Hodges [the groomsman], and Evanescence guitarist Terry Balsamo, among others.
After their wedding night at Little Rock’s Peabody Hotel, Lee and Hartzler headed on their honeymoon to an island south of the Bahamas.
A Son’s Parents
The couple has a kid named Jack Lion Hartzler, who was born on July 24, 2014.
In early 2014, Lee revealed that she and her husband were having a child via a Tweet that stated, “Ok I can’t keep it a secret anymore. For 2014, I’ve been working on a very important new project—A BABY! Josh and I are expecting our first child! “I’m overjoyed!”
The singer later confirmed the birth of her first kid on July 28, 2014, by posting a photo of herself with her newborn on Instagram.
After leaving Brooklyn, where they lived for 20 years, the couple and their baby child have been living in an apartment in Nashville since 2019.
