Jake Owen may have won Breakthrough Artist of the Year a couple years ago, but he broke through our hearts long before that. Jake’s recent album American Love has us swooning over this free spirited, outdoor loving, passionate guy and that is why Jake is our #MCM!
1. Beach Bum. It is no secret that Jake has an attachment to the beach. Whether it’s a beach in sunny Florida or the sands of Costa Rica, this is where you will find Jake enjoying some time off. We can’t blame him though – who wouldn’t want to spend their spare time at the beach?
2. Pearl: Jake’s 3 year old daughter Pearl is his world and it’s absolutely precious to watch her grow up. And their relationship is just darling; browse through Jake’s Instagram account and you will find delightful pictures of the two doing charming activities together.
Jake cherishes Pearl’s opinion so much so that when he bought a new boat this summer, he let Pearl pick out the color. What do you think of his Pink Sparkle Flake boat?
3. That Hair: We don’t mind if Jake grows out his luscious locks again or keeps it short, we think he looks exceptional either way.
4. No Shoes, No Problem: Jake is not shy about his barefoot loving ways – after all his first #1 song was “Barefoot Blue Jean Night.” Up until recently his public Instagram handle was BarefootJake, and if you happen to catch Jake at a show, the chances are very high that he will perform shoe-less. He’s even barefoot on the album artwork for American Love. We love this free spirit side of him.
5. Real Jake Owen: Several months ago Jake caught wind that someone was impersonating him. While some would choose to let the situation pass, not Jake. He called the guy who was pretending to be him and let him have it from the Real Jake Owen. Watch the Real Jake Owen call out the Fake:
So… Excuse my language.. I’ve been fired up about this all morning. There is a low life POS that has been sending messages from a fake “Jake Owen” account to females out there. I was forwarded these messages this person is sending and his phone number was attached… So.. I figured I’d call him and give him a piece of my mind. As you can see, he’s a coward and would not pick up…although, he did text back after and continue to say he was me. He also asked that I not share his number… Haha… Well friends, his number is 415-691-8521… I’m not finished with these creeps. I will do everything in my power to make sure you all, my fans, are protected from these low life people. I love you guys.
