How did Kyle Jacobs die?
The Country singer as per autopsy report confirmed that he wasn't intoxicated at the time of his death in May. Jacobs had struggled with drug addiction in the past, including "pseudoseizures, gastrointestinal bleeding, elevated liver enzymes, and chronic alcohol use."
As per epilepsy.com, Pseudoseizures, or psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES), "are attacks that may look like epileptic seizures but are not epileptic and instead are caused by psychological factors."
Did they ever work together on a project?
The pair started dating in 2008 and got engaged in June 2010, in Florida. "It was the most spiritual moment. We would've gotten married that night had there been a preacher walking by!" she shared.
Pickler tweeted, "Private Island. Caribbean. Cigar in one hand, Rum in the other. Someone just called me "Mrs. Jacobs."….sounds nice :)"
Working with his real-life partner, the singer talked about her feelings for Jacobs, "Yes, it's true, I'm sleeping with my producer! she joked. "He is so good at what he does. The music he's produced for Lee Brice is all over the radio! I'm so excited to be in the studio again recording a new album, and working with Kyle has been amazing. He has watched me perform for years, so it was great to have a front-row seat as an artist and see him in his element."
Jacobs on 'Feeling Tonight' song said, "This is such a fun song. I hope it's this year's summer anthem. It captures that summer love, that first love, that first kiss, that first spark of romance when you know there's something special happening. I think of Kyle when I sing this song and the love we share."
