Kenny Loggins has recently announced a significant milestone in his personal life, revealing that he has married his long-time partner, Lisa Hawkins. The surprise announcement came during a special screening of his documentary, *Kenny Loggins: Conviction of the Heart*, held at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles on 17 September.
During a Q&A session at the event, Loggins, renowned for hits such as “Footloose” and “Danger Zone”, warmly acknowledged Hawkins in front of the audience. He expressed his appreciation, saying, “I want to take a moment and acknowledge my wife, Lisa.” The documentary features a photograph of the couple taken shortly after they eloped in Hawaii, adding a personal touch to the screening.
Loggins first went public with his relationship with Hawkins in March 2023, during an interview with AARP. At that time, he shared that the couple had been together for five years and spoke about the desire to spend more time with family, particularly as he chose to step back from the touring life following his *This Is It!* tour. Highlighting his commitment, he stated, “It’s a good time to call it quits… I want to put more time into that — and not lose that. And spend more time with my grandchildren.”
Fast forward to the recent screening, and it is evident that Loggins continues to cherish his family life. He shared insights about his personal development and creative joy, particularly discussing his partnership with Hawkins’ daughter, Hunter, who is 25 years old. Loggins remarked on how much he enjoys working with her musically, saying, “[Hunter’s] amazing. And we perform together a lot. She covers all the high notes for me now. And being in the studio with her and working out new ideas is the most fun I’m having right now.”
As Loggins reflects on his life and career, he has been spending more time at his home in Montecito, California, and embraces the changes that come with ageing. He candidly spoke about the challenges of memory that often accompany growing older, confessing, “I don’t know if any of you can relate to this, but as we get older, our memories get a little worse.” However, he noted that his memory thrives when he is in the studio, leading to a fun exchange with his engineer regarding his ability to recall intricate details about his music.
In addition to their musical pursuits, Loggins and Hawkins have channeled their shared interests into philanthropic efforts. The couple has partnered to create the *Kenny Loggins Pickleball in the Danger Zone Tournament*, an event aimed at raising funds for Unity Shoppe, a Santa Barbara nonprofit that supports individuals affected by poverty, natural disasters, and health crises. “People have a great time at this tournament, they don’t take it quite as seriously and that is the point, just have fun with it,” Loggins remarked in a recent interview.
Through their work together, Loggins and Hawkins not only celebrate their love but also make a positive impact on the community. Their commitment to both family and philanthropy showcases a multifaceted approach to life that resonates with many of their fans.
As the music legend embarks on this new chapter with his wife, the marriage appears to be a natural extension of the life they have built together. With their shared love of music and commitment to charitable causes, it seems that Loggins and Hawkins are poised to enjoy many more fulfilling experiences in the years ahead.
This latest development in Loggins’ personal journey is a reminder that, even in the later stages of life, the potential for new beginnings and happiness remains ever-present. As they navigate life together, fans will undoubtedly be watching with interest, eager to see how this new phase unfolds for the couple.
