Which singer did country musician Johnny Cash marry in 1968?

Country musician Johnny Cash married singer June Carter in 1968.

Cash and Carter first met backstage at the Grand Ole Opry in 1956. Carter was already a member of the Carter Family, one of country music’s foundational groups. Their professional friendship gradually became a romantic relationship, even though both had complicated personal histories.

Cash proposed to Carter during a live performance in London, Ontario, on 22 October 1967. They married on 1 March 1968, in Franklin, Kentucky. Their partnership also became a major musical collaboration, producing recordings such as “Jackson.”

They had one child together, John Carter Cash, born in 1970. Carter was Cash’s second wife, while Cash’s first marriage was to Vivian Liberto. Their relationship inspired the biographical film Walk the Line, although the movie compresses and dramatizes parts of their story.
