Margo Price and Husband Jeremy Ivey 'Have Somehow Beaten All the Odds': 'We Made It'

Margo Price knows that she always has a partner she can rely on in her husband, Jeremy Ivey.

The renowned musician, 41, tells PEOPLE that she and Ivey, 47, whom she married in 2008, have "somehow beaten all the odds" as a couple.

Price met Ivey shortly after arriving in Nashville in 2003 to pursue a music career. Ivey, a fellow musician, teamed up with Price to start a band, and the duo subsequently went on tour together, with a relationship blossoming in tandem.

Navigating those aforementioned odds together came to the forefront when the couple was faced with the death of their son, Ezra, of a heart ailment, just two weeks after he was born in 2010.

"We clung to each other," Price explains of navigating the loss. (The two are also parents to Ezra's twin brother, Judah, now 14, and daughter Ramona, 5½.)

In 2018, Price told PEOPLE that "That was a whole ‘nother period of depression after losing the baby."

"Staying together through tragedies and all these life changes is kind of miracle because I think in the music business ... we've been together for 21 years ... that's got to be like 61 years in the music business," she now says of her current perception towards the situation and its testament to the strength of her marriage.

In 2024, Price shared specific details on Instagram about her wedding to Ivey in honor of their 16th wedding anniversary, writing at the time, "We had a had a shotgun wedding (not because we were knocked up or anything) but because we were feeling spontaneous and neither of us are very good at planning. It was small, about 30 people or something. We didn’t have a big budget, there was no designer gown or stylists or people to do my hair and make up, but we were madly in love and that was enough."

Looking back on those early days as a couple, she tells PEOPLE now that "it's amazing to have somebody that you can depend on and rely on and lift you up when you're not wanting to get out of bed. But we're both just over the moon that our dreams have come to fruition."

Price likens the current circumstances of her life and the happiness that it brings her to the title of her memoir, Maybe We'll Make It. "I feel like we're finally at the place where we're like, 'Okay, we made it. We're here.' "
