Last night was the first episode of the show The Private Lives of Nashville Wives on TNT and I’m hooked! The show features six accomplished,  opinionated and driven women–who happen to be married to some of the biggest players in the country music industry–as they deal with professional challenges,  family issues and social relationships.

Meet the Cast

She’s married to Dallas Davidson, who has written or co-written 16 #1 hits and has become one of Music Row’s most in-demand songwriters.

– Cassie is a former Hooter’s waitress and is married to Christian country music artist Gary Chapman. Even though she is 23 years his senior and is often called a “trophy wife”, Cassie is determined to prove that their relationship is real and that they fell in love for all of the right reasons.

– Jenny is the Vice President of Living Social and also has an 18 month old son. In the show, you get to see how she balances work and family. Jenny is married to JT Terrell, the co-owner of Nashville’s premier event company, Music City Tents and Events, which hosts all of the elite large-scale parties in town.

– Ana is Betty’s identical twin sister and a single mom to two children. She just started online dating and is struggling to find the right guy!

My Thoughts

I never watched the Real Housewives shows and from what I would read in magazines, I’m glad. But this show – I am loving it! This first episode titled “Bright Lights, Big City” introduces you to the six women and their families. It’s the week of the CMA Music Festival, which is the most important week of the year in country music.

My favorite of the Nashville Wives is Erica Page White. I totally connected with her as she said that women that are stay at home moms still have a voice and that sometimes you just want to do more! Plus, when I was stalking checking out her Twitter Feed, I loved the pictures she shared of her and her kids. Just because Friday Pizza Parties and Craft Kits from Michael’s – love it! She’s completely glam but seems like a down to earth Mom.

I also loved Sarah Davidson, who is an aspiring country music artist. She’s definitely talented and she WANTS it. She works hard and is passionate about making her dreams come true. I look forward to following along on her musical journey!

Ana and Betty CRACK me up. As a mom to twins, I loved seeing their interactions. Plus, Betty said one of my favorite quotes last night –

We all want our kids to be better than us.

Isn’t that so true? I know I want my kids to have more than me and be better than me. It’s just part of being a Mom!

I highly enjoyed the premiere of The Private Lives of Nashville Wives and can’t wait to tune in next week! You can catch up on the first episode and then tune in on Monday at 10/9pm CST on TNT!
