Kelly Cox & J.T. Poston – Are They Married?

Kelly and J.T. have only been married for a fairly short period of time.

Their wedding day was 2 December 2022 and the event took place at Forbes Farm on St. Simons Island.

Kelly wore a beautiful dress with a train and a custom jacket made of French Chantilly lace to guard against the winter cold. For official photos, and once they got to the reception, she removed this top to reveal the simple but stunning dress.

Her bouquet was green and white and her veil cascaded down her back. She also wore stylish pearl earrings.

How Did They Meet?

Quad City Times reported that Kelly and J.T. met through another player, Keith Mitchell. Although all details of their relationship aren’t clear, social media was the medium they used to make their dating official. This happened in January 2020, so the two had been together for quite a while before they got married.

Eventually J.T. asked for her hand in marriage on 27 November 2021 at Kiawah Island’s Ocean Course. Their wedding took place just over a year later.

Where Do They Live?

The Postons made Sea Island in Georgia their home for now. This is a privately owned area in Glynn County, Georgia. It forms part of Georgia’s Golden Isles and it’s an area where you’ll find many other professional golf players’ homes.

As reported by The Brunswick News, especially St. Simons Island is the place with more pro golf players per capita than you’ll find anywhere else in the US. Part of the attraction is probably the golf courses in the area, along with the stunning views and the chance to spend time with other players even when they’re not on tour.

Do They Have Kids?

Apart from a dog they both love very much, the two don’t have any kids. Playersbio.com states the dog’s name as ‘Rip’ and he’s a Golden Retriever.

Does She Appear on Tour with Adam?

Kelly has a full-time job with lots of responsibility that keeps her busy, so you won’t see her on the tour as much as some other wives. However, she has appeared a few times in support of her husband. For example, while they were still engaged, J.T. was doing well in the John Deere Classic. This prompted Kelly to fly out and she managed to be present for the final 18 holes.

Kelly Cox: Social Media

On Instagram there is a profile for kellycposton and it has over 2,100 followers. However, this is a private account, so there’s not much to see apart from a stunning picture of Kelly in her wedding gown.

On the Instagram profile for J.T. Poston, you’ll find content of his golfing but also his life with Kelly. For example, he seems to enjoy publicly sharing about his love for his wife, so there are personal messages and photos that he shares on special occasions like Valentine’s Day or birthdays.

Conclusion
