Scotty McCreery Says 2018 Has Been the 'Best Year of My Life' After Marrying Wife Gabi

Scotty McCreery had the “best year” ever thanks to his wife Gabi Dugal!

In a new interview, the 25-year-old American Idol winner opened up about life as a married man.

“2018 has been the greatest year of my life, especially because it’s the year I got to marry her,” Scotty told People. “She’s incredible and we make a great team, and to be able to go through life together is one of my biggest joys. She always sees the best in people so it rubs off on me when I’m having a down day. Just going home to her perks me up a little.”

Scotty then went on to share some new traditions he and Gabi planning on making as this is their first Christmas together as a married couple.

“One of the traditions Gabi wanted to start this year was for us to go to the mountains of North Carolina and find our own tree and cut it and all that. Let me just say that trees look a lot smaller on the side of a massive mountain,” Scotty shared before revealing what he’s getting for Christmas. “Gabi has been asking for a piano for like five years, so that’s what I’m getting for her. We are getting a studio room together at home so it will go there.”

Scotty and Gabi got married back in July and shared tons of footage from their wedding in his “This Is It” music video!
