BRANDI CARLILE & CATHERINE SHEPHERD
Brandi Carlile and Catherine Shepherd were together for eight years. Yet, their relationship is just becoming sweeter. Their shared passion for action and interest in charity initiatives brought them together. While Carlile had a public life and career as a singer, the couple opted to live quietly in a rural Washington investment estate. They occasionally allow followers to take a glimpse into their lives through Instagram.
Shepherd was in charge of The Beatles’ Paul McCartney’s charitable efforts at the time. After reading about Carlile’s project, she asked if she could give McCartney’s memorabilia to Carlile’s Fight the Fear campaign. Sparks flew right then and there, and everything else just fell into place. They communicated for approximately a year after that. Carlile claims she thought she was talking to a 65-year-old woman the entire time. But, she acknowledged that it was a unique way to fall in love.
