Shay Martin Remarries One Year After Husband Tanner's Death

She says the union honors Tanner's memory by welcoming a private partner who loves daughter AmyLou.

Overview

  • Martin announced on Sunday, August 2, in an Instagram video that she has remarried and that she “found love again” one year after Tanner’s death.
  • Her husband is identified only as Hunter because he prefers privacy, and Martin says the couple held an intimate ceremony that mentioned Tanner in their vows and released butterflies in his memory.
  • Martin says Hunter has never asked her to leave Tanner behind and has formed close bonds with Tanner’s family and with their daughter, AmyLou.
  • Tanner died on June 25, 2025, after a multi-year fight with stage 4 colorectal cancer, and AmyLou was born on May 15, 2025, weeks before his death.
  • Martin plans to continue her grief-advocacy work and to control what she shares publicly, a move that underscores ongoing public conversations about grieving, remarriage and privacy for young widows.
