Dan + Shay and Their Respective Spouses Are Relationship Goals
The Season 25 Voice Coaches are a close-knit country duo, and also treasure time with their better halves.
You know what they say: Behind every great man is a great woman and, give the achievements of The Voice’s Season 25 Coaches, Dan + Shay — musical duo Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney — we’re betting their wives are pretty spectacular.
“We've got great families," Smyers told People in 2023. "We are so lucky. There are so many people who would kill to be in our shoes, and that's something we don't want to take for granted."
Keep reading for everything to know about Dan + Shay, Dan Smyers' wife, Abby Law, and Shay Mooney's wife Hannah Billingsley.
Who are Dan + Shay?
Friends Smyers and Mooney make up the ultra-successful pop-country singing duo Dan + Shay. The Grammy and CMT Music Award winners will soon shake things up on The Voice as the first-ever Coaching duo for Season 25, sitting alongside Coaches Reba McEntire, Chance the Rapper, and John Legend.
With hits like “Tequila” and “When I Pray For You,” Dan + Shay are no strangers to The Voice. Both appeared as Battle Advisors to country legend and recently retired Coach Blake Shelton in Season 20 and served as temporary replacement Coaches for the briefly-absent Coach Niall Horan in Season 24. The pair also performed the song “Speechless” in Season 15 alongside winner Chevel Shepherd.

Smyers, who is from Pennsylvania, and Mooney, who is from Arkansas, separately moved to Nashville to pursue their country music dreams before meeting and becoming the dynamic duo they are today.
Who is Dan Smyers' wife?
Smyers and his now-wife, Abby Law, met at a Nashville-based animal rescue center in 2013, according to Country Living. Three years later, Smyers proposed to Law at Waikiki Beach, as announced on her Instagram page.
“There are few words to fully convey this feeling of complete happiness,” she wrote. “Daniel Smyers, knowing and loving you has been the most rewarding part of my life thus far, and continuing our journey together as your wife will be an honor.”
Their 2017 Nashville wedding — as featured in the super sweet video for Dan + Shay’s “Speechless” — included the pair exchanging vows as the sun set, reps told People. Both dog lovers also had a registry to include donations for a local dog-fostering center, Proverbs 12:10 Animal Rescue.
“The father to our canines. The keeper of my heart. The hardest-working man I know. My best friend. My partner. My husband,” Law wrote on Instagram. “Thank you for making my dreams come true and choosing me to walk beside you in this life.”

While husband and wife share no children, their fur babies, Chief, Joy, and Ghost, were part of the wedding party (they’ve since adopted two more). (Mooney was there, too.)
Law has appeared in a handful of Dan + Shay music videos, including “Nothin’ Like You” and “10,000 Hours” featuring Justin Bieber.
The couple works closely with multiple organizations associated with animal rescue, including Wags & Walks Rescue Nashville and the International Fund for Animal Welfare. And let us add, the couple’s Christmas cards with their pooches are everything!
“I think Abby has given me such a great perspective and inspired me to enjoy the ride a little bit more...” Smyers gushed to People. "She continues to save my life every day, honestly. I can't say enough good things. She just has such a different outlook on life than I do."
Who is Shay Mooney's wife?
Mooney met Hannah Billingsley, a former Miss Arkansas, after she reportedly reached out to him on social media in March 2015, according to Arkansas Bride. Days later, they met at a lounge in Mooney’s native state while Dan + Shay were on tour.
“From the very first time I saw her, I knew I wanted to marry her...” Mooney told People. "She’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me, so I had to lock it down. She’s my better — and much better-looking — half."
In January 2017, the couple welcomed their first child, Asher James. In October of that year, they tied the knot on Mooney’s family farm, against the backdrop of Arkansas’s rolling hills.
“Shay is everything I never knew I needed,” said Billingsley, per Arkansas Bride. “I truly never imagined being with a man in the music industry, so it took me some time to come around. But God had other plans. Shay was and is patient as the day is long and makes me laugh at every turn. He’s my person.”
Then-9-month-old Asher and Smyers were part of the couple’s nuptials.
The Mooneys welcomed their second son, Ames Alexander, in February 2020 and a third baby boy, Abram Shay Mooney, in January 2023.

"I love this man so much. And I’ve never been more proud of the husband, father, and leader he has become..." Billingsley wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of Mooney holding their newborn. "As life gets busier and the world grows louder, I just wanted to take my minute to let you know just how proud I am of you. The boys and I are so thankful you’re ours."
When not with her three sons, Billingsley hosts Unexpected with Hannah Love, a faith-based podcast about God calling unexpected people to do extraordinary things.
