Kathie Lee Gifford's Words Stung Brent Smith: Are they dating?

In 2009, Smith, along with his band, appeared on the ‘TODAY’ show, where the host Kathie Lee Gifford compared Smith to a meatloaf. Her word really hurt Smith and it stung him really hard.

To this, Smith said,

It really stung. I’m a fan of Meat Loaf but she wasn’t talking about a musical comparison. My heart kind of fell on the ground – it was like the performance didn’t even matter.

Smith himself said,

I'll never forget the day my girlfriend, Teresa, sat me down on the first of November last year and said, "Listen to me, I love you and I'm not going anywhere, but this lifestyle that you're leading is not going to work." She found me a trainer near our house and on Nov 6, I remember walking into that gym with a bit of a hangover.

Smith further added;

It was a different feeling because I was in really bad shape. I'm 5 foot 8 and weighed 222. Teresa had told me it was time to get my life back. I felt like I'd been in a death spiral, and I realized I needed to be healthy and strong for my family.

I have a 4-year-old boy, and he was a huge motivation, and so were the fans. I had an epiphany working out with my trainer that day, and I haven't had a drink since.
