Kellie Pickler and the parents of her late husband Kyle Jacobs have found themselves entangled in a legal disagreement over Jacobs’ property.
The two parties are headed to court after Pickler, 38, filed a petition against Reed and Sharon Jacobs, coadministrators of Kyle’s estate, according to inTouch, who was first to report the news.
Kyle died by suicide on February 17, 2023. He and Pickler began dating in 2008 and had been married since 2011.
“A dispute has arisen amongst the parties regarding certain personal property allegedly [Kyle’s] possession prior to his death,” reads the petition, filed on August 16 and obtained by Us Weekly.
Love you like a love song. Kellie Pickler and husband Kyle Jacobs bonded over their musical backgrounds — but they chose to take their time before getting hitched. The American Idol alum met her future husband in the mid-2000s through a mutual a friend. While playing Us Weekly’s “Newlywed Game” in December 2015, the couple […]
The petition alleges that Reed and Sharon created a document titled “List of Assets” in which they demanded via subpoena that Pickler turn over certain items, some of which she claims to not have or whose ownership is in dispute.
Some of the items they are requesting include Kyle’s gun collection, which reportedly consists of three rifles, seven pistols, one shotgun, a silencer and a gun safe. His parents are also requesting his watches and jewelry, baseball card collection, musical instruments and his personal devices, among other items.
Kyle’s parents also allegedly took items from Pickler’s home without telling her.
“As part of this action, Ms. Pickler seeks an order requiring the coadministrators to identify the items that they obtained from her home,” the petition says.
Meanwhile, Reed and Sharon are disputing Pickler’s claim that she either didn’t know where some of the requested items were or that they did not have the right to them. They did admit to entering Pickler’s home to retrieve certain items, but in a separate petition obtained by Us Weekly, claim it was “at the express invitation of [Pickler] and her counsel whom they met to discuss the transfer of items belonging to the estate.”
The petition also states that Pickler knew the items that would be taken because she set them aside specifically for Kyle’s parents.
Reed and Sharon are requesting Pickler’s petition be dismissed as they have gone through the couple’s prenup, which outlined the future ownership of Kyle’s property.
Pickler has since been granted a protective order preventing either party from sharing the transcript or video of her deposition in order to spare her of any “annoyance, embarrassment, oppression or undue burden or expense.”
Kyle’s parents are objecting to that order, arguing that it “sought the protection of information/documentation not yet in existence,” They also allege that “at no time did the Court express in any way that’s its ruling was made ‘in order to avoid embarrassment’ as [Pickler’s] proposed Order gratuitously adds.”
Reed and Sharon filed their objection on November 7 and the case remains ongoing.
