It’s been nearly 11 years since Jordan Smith won Season 9 of The Voice in 2015. Now, more than a decade later, he’s returning to the show to represent his coach, Adam Levine, in the Season 29 All-Star Competition.

Jordan and five other past contestants will perform in sing-offs judged by CeeLo Green, and whichever coach (Levine, Kelly Clarkson, or John Legend) earns the most sing-off wins will get to have an extra artist on their team in the Season 29 Finals.

Since his time on The Voice, Jordan has continued pursuing his music career, and he also got married to Kristen Denny. Scroll down to learn more about her and their relationship.

Who is Jordan Smith’s wife?

Kristen is a worship pastor at Near Church in Kentucky, according to her Instagram bio. She previously worked as a speech language pathologist, with Smith telling People in 2016, “She’s a speech therapist for kids, and she works with special needs kids, which I think is so wonderful.”

Jordan and Kristen got engaged on New Year’s Day 2016, just weeks after he was crowned the winner of The Voice. The couple tied the knot in June 2016.

“The journey so far has been amazing, and we can’t wait to continue on this path as a married couple,” they told People at the time.

They celebrated nine years of marriage in 2025. “Nine years of marriage with the most beautiful woman in the world, and it only keeps getting better,” Jordan wrote on Instagram. “Happy Anniversary, @kristensmithlive. What an adventure we’re on.”

In her own tribute post, Kristen said, “Some days it seems like just yesterday, but when I think back on all we’ve done in the past nine years, it’s crazy how much we’ve experienced. We’ve traveled across the world, but there’s no where I’d rather be than home on the couch with you. So thankful for this life with you.”

How did Jordan Smith meet his wife?

Jordan and Kristen met at summer camp in 2012. “Our wedding has reminded us that we are just two best friends who realized we’re both the same kind of crazy and fell in love,” they said after tying the knot.

Does Jordan Smith have kids?

Jordan and Kristen refer to themselves as “dad” and “mama” in their Instagram bios. However, they are very private about their family.

In February 2026, Jordan seemingly confirmed that the couple shares a daughter by posting a photo of Kristen with a toddler captioned, “My valentines.”
