Early in the finals, Simon Cowell chided the new American Idol champ for bringing out his wife so early in the game. Apparently, the acerbic judge thought Kris Allen’s fans will stop voting for him as he is not available anymore. And the truth is, even Kris’ wife thought the same, LOL! That was how supportive Katy Allen was to her singer hubby! ^_^ According to Kris Allen, “I did the music scene in Arkansas, which isn’t that big, and it didn’t work out and I almost gave up. My wife has been the support ever. I seriously almost gave up a lot and she was just like you have to keep going. She believed in me more than I believed in myself.” And look where he is now! The saying “Behind every man’s success is a woman.” is definitely true! =)

And according to Kris Allen, the one thing he is really looking forward to getting back to is being a husband. He said to Katy after winning American Idol, “Ah, we can be married.” He then explained to reporters backstage after the finale: “We haven’t been able to be married for the last nine months. She’s amazing. She’s just the coolest chick in the world. Hopefully, me and my wife will get to spend some more time together.” Kris Allen also says they definitely know their lives will change with the win. He reveals, “She’s been out here during the whole thing and been going through all this [as well] so we’ve kind of been getting ourselves ready for everything. Things are definitely going to change, but we’re really strong and she’s really cool so [I’m sure] everything’s going to be fine.”
