Gretchen Wilson at 41st Annual Academy of Country Music Awards - Arrivals, Las Vegas, Nevada - 23.05.06

The REDNECK WOMAN singer has reportedly found love with country great TOM T HALL's son DEAN HALL, who joined her backing band in 2004 when he was married.

According to US tabloid the National Enquirer, Hall has since separated from his wife.

Wilson and Hall found they had a lot in common when they discussed weight problems - Hall was a 300-pound (136 kilograms) heavy who shed over half his weight, while single mum Wilson has been battling to get back in shape since making it big two years ago (04).
