Walker Hayes and his wife, Laney, shared how they met, dished on their favorite Nashville date spot, revealed who’s the better cook and so much more when they took over the Country Now Instagram stories on Wednesday (May 13) to answer fan-submitted questions during QuaranTEN Questions: Couples Edition.

Walker and Laney, who are parents to six children, explained that they first met in high school when they both took part in the school play.

“He started singing, I thought it was awesome,” she shared, smiling.

The couple also discussed which actors they would choose to play each other in a movie. Laney suggested Owen Wilson and it appears Walker wasn’t too sure about her pick.

“Really,” he asked her.
