      Jewel and Ty Murray Get Married in the Bahamas

Jewel and her longtime partner Ty Murray eloped to the
Bahamas and were married on Thursday. Jewel (last name
Kilcher), 34, and Murray, 38, have been together for 10
years and share a ranch in Texas. Murray is a retired
rodeo champion who starred in the CMT series Ty Murray’s
Celebrity Bull Riding Challenge. He also appears in the
video for her current single, “I Do.” They had not pre-
viously announced an engagement. “I dreamt about this
day since I was a little girl on a ranch in Alaska,”
Jewel said. “It was relaxed and romantic. I wore a
traditional wedding gown and diamonds, and he wore
jeans and a button-down shirt. Ty’s definitely my per-
fect prince.” Jewel released her first country album,
Perfectly Clear, earlier this year.
