Estell reposted the photos on her Instagram Stories with the word "Parents."
Bobby Bones and Estell Have Been Married for Four Years
As we previously reported, the Dancing With the Stars winner and Estell married on July 17, 2021, at their Nashville home. They wrote their own vows, and Estell's childhood music minister officiated.
"We love home. We picked this place out together — that was really one of the first decisions that we made as a couple," said Bones. "And so she thought, 'What if we got married here?'"
Dierks Bentley and Jake Owen attended as guests, while Dan + Shay performed the couple's first dance song, the Beach Boys' "Forever", popularized by Jesse and the Rippers on Full House.
The Two Met in 2019
The couple met when Bones visited Lairen Alaina at a Dancing With the Stars taping. Estell was there with a friend.
"We didn't really hit it off the first time we met. We were just like 'Hi, what's up?' and then we started talking on Instagram like a month later," Bones explained.
Their relationship deepened despite an awkward first date, and when the COVID-19 pandemic began, Estell chose to spend the quarantine with Bones in Nashville. He proposed in Oct. 2020, taking their story to the next step.
"I am the luckiest," he wrote in an Instagram post sharing the news. "I waited so long for the right one. And it payed off. Surprised her with a secret proposal in the barn in the backyard. After she said yes, our song "nothing left to lose" by Mat Kearney was playing outside. And it was @matkearney playing it. She said it was at Mat's concert during this song that she knew I was the one for her. So lucky he played it again for only us tonight. I'm so happy I get marry to love of my life ."
