One of the most popular NASCAR couples must have a dazzling story. Dale Earnhardt Jr., a 26-time Cup Series race-winning veteran, will give you couples goals. It stemmed in 2009 when the veteran planned to redesign his house in Kannapolis, North Carolina. Amy Reimann’s interior design firm took up that task – and what started as a job bloomed into an everlasting bond. But nobody had a clue about it then.
Or did they? Dale Jr. and his wife kept their relationship private for over two years. After all, Dale Jr. is a motorsports celebrity and wanted to keep his bond out of the spotlight. But little did he know that his niece would figure it out beforehand.
A ‘bizarre’ forecast of Dale Jr.’s love
Well, the relationship was not the smoothest. Dale Jr. and Amy Earnhardt went public in December 2011 at the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champions Week Awards Ceremony. However, their bond would still take a long time to develop into marriage. They faced a few rocky patches in their relationship.
Once, Amy believed Dale Jr. was “a really immature person” as he could not prioritize her needs often enough. The two-time Daytona 500 winner himself admitted, “Every day was like grinding gears.” Dale Jr. was opposed to marriage initially, and the couple had to undergo therapy.
Even amidst these nagging problems, a ray of hope beamed from an unlikely source. That is what Amy Earnhardt’s friend Jamie Goddard revealed recently on an episode of ‘Bless Your Hardt.’ The latter is now Amy’s close friend and was recalling the first time the besties met each other. In the process, she also uncovered a mind-boggling prediction by Karsyn, Dale Jr.’s niece.
Apparently, Dale Jr. and Amy’s relationship was not as off the hook as it appeared at that time. Goddard recollected: “I remember the first time I met you, I was watching the girls for Kelley. I remember coming into the house, Karsyn was playing the piano…she was entertaining. I do remember Karsyn saying to you guys – I don’t know if you or Dale remember this – she was like, ‘Uncle Dale, you’re gonna marry her.’”
Then Amy gasped: “She did?! It was so bizarre.”
Goddard continued, “We were like, Karsyn. She said, ‘No. He’s gonna marry her.’ And she be-bopped out of the room…She wasn’t wrong.”
Indeed, Karsyn was right. Couples therapy worked wonders for Dale Jr. and Amy as they overcame the hurdles in their bond. In June 2015, the much-awaited proposal arrived while they were vacationing in Germany. It was a sentimental move as Dale Jr.’s German ancestors were baptized and wed in the town of Speyer. Then, they finally married in December 2016 at Childress Vineyards in Lexington, North Carolina.
Even after his niece’s prediction came true, Dale Jr. and Amy had a long adventure ahead. Starting in 2025, we are getting to know small snippets of that exciting journey.
Sharing the ups and downs of their story
Well, marriage is never the climax. That is because it’s a long journey of commitment, dedication, and hard work. After marrying in 2016, Dale Jr and Amy Earnhardt embarked on family life. They welcomed their first child, Isla Rose, in April 2018. After that, they welcomed their second child, Nicole Lorraine, in October 2020.
Stories of chaos and ecstasy followed – which Amy and Dale share weekly on their newly launched podcast. Having debuted on 6th February, ‘Bless Your Hardt’ provides listeners with an unfiltered look into the Earnhardt family.
After Dale Jr. invited his wife to a few episodes of the ‘Dale Jr Download’ in 2024, Amy became wildly popular. So fans can tune in weekly to listen to her, and the interior designer is more than glad.
“We’re really excited to invite everyone into the crazy, beautiful, and sometimes messy world we live in! I’ve been interested in doing a podcast for a while now and have just been waiting for the right fit. ‘Bless Your Hardt’ is going to be a fun way to share stories and antics about what it’s like to juggle life, marriage, and parenting life in the Earnhardt house,” mentioned Amy.
