Tyler Hubbard, the 39-year-old musician known for his work with the country duo Florida Georgia Line, recently experienced a family camping trip that took a surprising and painful turn. During a fishing outing, a hook became accidental lodged in his head, prompting his wife, Hayley Hubbard, to step in as a makeshift medic.

The incident unfolded while the family was enjoying a camping trip, accompanied by their three young children, Olivia Rose, aged 8, Luca Reed, 6, and Atlas Roy, who is just 5. The situation quickly escalated from a leisurely day outdoors to a moment of minor crisis, captured by Tyler in a video he shared on social media on Sunday, 26 July.
In the Instagram post, Tyler humourously captioned the video that showed Hayley attending to his head wound: “Breakfast had to wait…” The footage begins with Hayley assessing the situation, while one of their children asked whether Tyler was bleeding. Tyler, attempting to reassure his kids, responded positively but added that it may be “a little” concerning.
As Hayley prepared to remove the hook, she asked if there were any tricks to doing so. One of the children comforted Tyler by confidently stating, “Mom is just going to pull it out right away.” Amidst the tension of the moment, Hayley encouraged her husband, affirming that he was “doing great” and showing admirable bravery. Ultimately, she successfully extracted the hook, and with a triumphant exclamation of “Oh, we got it!” the family took the unexpected incident in stride.
Following the removal, Hayley shared her reflections on the trip via her own Instagram post. She fondly recalled the memories created during their time together, highlighting the joy that camping brings, despite its occasional challenges. “Next time we’ll try to avoid fish hooks in the head,” she joked, indicating that their overall experience remained positive.
This family outing came shortly after Tyler hinted at potential reunion plans with his former bandmate, Brian Kelley. The Florida Georgia Line duo disbanded in 2022 after an impressive decade of musical collaboration, but they have since reunited for limited performances, including a show at CMA Fest in June. Discussing their renewed partnership in an interview with Chicago’s US99 country radio station, Tyler expressed excitement about future performances, stating that they are eager to return to the stage together in the coming year.
In personal news, Tyler and Hayley have recently celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary. Hayley shared her affection for Tyler in an Instagram post on 2 July, expressing gratitude for the years they have spent together. Tyler responded with an endearing compliment, highlighting their enduring connection. Last summer, the couple marked a decade of marriage by renewing their vows in a touching ceremony with their children, reflecting on their bond and the support they have received over the years.
This recent camping mishap, while concerning, appears to have only strengthened the Hubbards’ familial bond, illustrating their resilience and ability to navigate challenges with humour and love. It’s clear from their social media presence that family remains at the centre of their lives, whether they are on stage or in the great outdoors.
