Kacey Musgraves is dating a new man, with the exciting news not just coming from whispers of tabloids but also from Musgraves herself. The lucky man is called Cole Schafer — otherwise known by his pen name, January Black (via Us Magazine) — and he's a published writer and a poet. So far, he's released three anthologies of poetry and short stories: "One Minute, Please?", "After Her," and "Quarantine Dreams," per his independent press company, Honey Copy. Words are definitely his forte, as he also works as a copywriter in advertising, a job which, per his website, he describes as "selling things with pretty words."
According to an interview with Musgraves in The New York Times, they met pretty inconspicuously at a restaurant one night. "He did not know who I was, which I loved," she told the outlet. She explained that this was important to her, as since becoming an artist within the public eye, she's constantly being approached by strangers — men in particular.
The poet that he is, Schafer hasn't been able to keep his emotions quiet. On August 22, 2021, he took to Instagram to write some beautiful musings about his new love interest. "Here's to your aesthetic and your art being a close second to your heart. Here's to you making it through thirty-two and here's to you making history in thirty-three," he wrote. "It's been so damn pretty falling for you, Kacey." The romance is real.
