Hailey Kinsel and Jess Lockwood tied the knot in 2019 in a cowboy-themed wedding, showcasing their shared passion for the rodeo lifestyle. Unfortunately, after two years of marital vows, the couple decided to part ways.
The couple’s love story began in early 2018, and after a year of dating, they got engaged in the following year, culminating in a wedding later that same year.
Jess Lockwood is a highly skilled bull rider, while Hailey Kinsel is an exceptional barrel racer, boasting a three-time World Barrel Racing Champion title. Kinsel, who clinched the National Finals Rodeo title in 2018, 2019, and 2020, has a decorated rodeo career, having qualified for the NFR five times.
Their professional careers in the rodeo world began in 2015, with Lockwood joining the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) circuit and Kinsel becoming a member of the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA). Lockwood, a two-time PBR champion, started dating another woman in 2021, leading to the couple’s separation in the same year.
Reports suggest that Hailey initiated the divorce after Jess was allegedly involved with another woman. Both have remained focused on their respective careers, with neither confirming the specific reason for their decision to part ways.
Hailey and Jess got engaged in 2019, and their wedding took place on October 25 of the same year at Kinsel’s parents’ farm in Cotulla, Texas. The ceremony featured a cowboy-themed setting, with Waco Newborn Photographer capturing the special moments.
However, after three years together, the couple decided to go their separate ways in 2021. Hailey no longer uses Jess’s last name, and her WPRA profile indicates that she is currently single. The couple has removed all posts and photos related to their relationship and marriage from their social media accounts.
Jess Lockwood moved on and is now dating Paige Jones, a successful barrel racer and the 2018 BFA World Futurity Champion. Jones is ranked fifteenth in the WPRA World Standings, and the couple has shared their relationship on social media, celebrating milestones like Valentine’s Day together.
