Country music artist Kellie Pickler and her older half-brother Eric Pickler have a close sibling relationship. While his personal life specifics are still unknown, Eric has been a strong advocate for Kellie’s career advancement. The brother-sister team has been seen grinning at a number of Kellie’s high-profile occasions, including as her 2009 CMT Music Awards attendance.
Eric was probably quite proud of Pickler on this particular occasion because she had won three prizes for her work on music videos. By going to her concerts and interacting with her fan following, Eric stays involved in his famous sister’s life even outside of red carpet events. He looks out for her in a brotherly, protective manner despite their age difference.
The two siblings’ kindness is described by many who know the Pickler family. Despite the unfortunate fact that Kellie never got to meet Michael, her other half-brother, she is grateful for the family she does have. Eric Pickler’s unassuming assistance perfectly captures the love shared by a close-knit sister and brother who are working for lofty goals together.
