Lzzy Hale penned a sweet message to her partner and Halestorm bandmate Joe Hottinger on Saturday (Oct. 2nd).
The singer wrote on Instagram, “On this day, 18 years ago. I kissed you. I opened a door that changed my life forever. I found a light, a partner in crime, a love.”
She continued, “To truly love someone, is not easy. To grow and evolve with someone is not easy. But you and I, we never run from ‘Hard’.”
Lzzy and her brother Arejay formed Halestorm in 1998 while in middle school. Hottinger joined the band in 2003, followed by bassist Josh Smith in 2004. Smith confirmed the long-standing rumor that Lzzy and Hottinger were involved in a romantic relationship back in October 2015.
