Overview
- Shay Martin announced in an Instagram video shared on August 2 that she has remarried and that she “found love again” one year after Tanner’s death.
- She said Tanner had hoped she would someday find someone who would love their daughter AmyLou as his own and that her new husband honors Tanner and loves AmyLou accordingly.
- Today’s reporting identified the new husband only by his first name, Hunter, and described a private ceremony in which the couple referenced Tanner and released butterflies in his memory.
- Martin stressed that remarriage does not erase her grief, saying “moving forward is not the same as moving on” and that Tanner will always be AmyLou’s dad.
- She will continue her public work on bereavement and colorectal cancer awareness, including the Grief Witnessed podcast, while saying she will share life details selectively to prioritize her family over the internet.
