Taya Kyle first met her husband in San Diegobar in 2001. They liked each other and began a relationship. The couple in love wasted no time in 2002, getting married the next year. Their marriage produced two children – a son named Colton and a daughter named McKenna. It must be noted that the couple’s marriage spanned the duration of Chris’ tour of duty in Iraq. The fact that he wasn’t at war put a lot of pressure on Kyle and the kids. She always feared for his safety and became concerned when there were military casualties in Iraq. Chris himself valued his family, but wanted to serve his country.

Did she remarry?

Taya Kyle has not married since the death of her husband. While he lived and served in Iraq, her late husband believed he might not survive the war. He therefore urged her to find love again if anything should happen to him. Despite these admonitions, Kyle still refuses to return to the dating pool. According to her, this is because she still loves her husband and still feels married to him. However, she has revealed that if she is to love again, it will happen. However, if it isn’t meant to be, she’ll still be fine with that. Her main focus now is raising her children.
