“Please congratulate Mr. And Mrs. Hank Williams Jr! Hank and Brandi were married on Sept 9, 2023 at Enon Baptist Church in Banks, Alabama in front of a small group of family and friends,” according to the official Hank Williams Jr. Facebook page.

“They had gotten engaged earlier this year on Mother’s Day,” the post continued. “The bride and groom have known each other and been friends since 2003.”

The bride, Brandi Fields Irvin, is 43. The couple’s engagement was confirmed on Sept. 4.

The wedding, Williams’ fourth, comes 18 months after his wife of 32 years, Mary Jane Thomas, died after having elective surgery.

According to the Palm Beach County Medical Examiner, Thomas, 58, died of a collapsed lung that was punctured during the elective surgery the day before.

“38 wonderful years she gave me. Her kind spirit and beautiful and endearing love carries on in the hearts of our son, Sam, grandsons Beau and Tennyson, and granddaughter Audrey Jane,” Williams wrote on Instagram on April 29, 2022. “Of course, she will be missed and loved by so many forever.”

In addition to their son, Sam, Williams and Thomas had a daughter, Katherine, who died in a car crash in June 2020 at age 27.

The 74-year-old country star is the son of music legend Hank Williams.
