The romance between Christian musician Leanna Crawford and her basketball star husband is definitely unique, blending the worlds of two careers that make their mark in the spotlight. Crawford, set to release her debut album on July 19, has had multiple songs enter the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart, including Mean Girls and Truth I’m Standing On. Her husband, NBA center Cody Zeller of the Atlanta Hawks, is a 6-foot-11, 11-year veteran who was a first-round pick in 2013.

Their 2023 wedding was featured in People Magazine. She even wrote a song for him, Vow to Be Yours, that she sang for him that day.

“It's been so much fun. I feel like it's been very sweet,” Crawford told Crosswalk Headlines about their marriage. “We were long-distance up until we got married. And then we got married. And we were still kind of long distance because we both travel a lot. But it's been sweet. He’s my best friend.”
