Sara Evans announced her engagement to former Alabama Crimson Tide Quarterback Jay Barker in a frenzy of press excitement. No wedding date has been set but Sara is reported to be enjoying her engagement. Sara Evans and Jay Barker began dating shortly before Thanksgiving 2007 after her brutal divorce from her first husband Craig Schelske was finalized in September. Sara brings her three children into the marriage while Jay has four of his own from his previous marriage.

“If you had asked me this time last year if I thought I’d be sitting here engaged to the most amazing man I ever met I would have just laughed,” Evans said. “I feel so blessed!”  Barker apparently proposed to Sara a few weeks ago in a New York park where the couple had their first date.
