In an interview with GAC, Jimi said, “I think there was always something going on in the background that we tried to ignore.” “Then, when the chance came, when all of us were single at the same time—which was a very strange turn of events for the band in many ways—you were finally able to say what you were feeling.” He also said, “It was kind of like, ‘We’re single. Let’s get together.”

Luckily, Karen and Jimi’s musical abilities matched each other, and the two discreetly tied the knot in a Nashville ceremony on May 31, 2006. They chose to keep the news to themselves for a time, and it wasn’t until a few months later that the fans found out the good news.

Fairchild stated to Us Weekly, “I think Jimi and I had a special friendship and connection that grew when we were both single.” “Sometimes you have to cross that line and take a chance, and when we had that chance, we did. We didn’t want to mess up the band, but we thought the risk was worth it.”
