Boyfriend / Spouse

Amy Lee has dated –

  • Shaun Morgan (2003-2005) – Amy Lee and musician Shaun Morgan’s relationship didn’t attract as much attention as their bitter break up in 2005 and constant jabs at each other did. In a very obvious shot, Amy Lee released a song titled “Call Me When You’re Sober” and it was rubbed completely in as it was coincidentally aired on various radio stations on the same day he checked into rehab. Also, the case of her band guitarist Troy McLawhorn joining Morgan’s band and returning back only made the fallout nastier.
  • Ben Moody – Amy was reported to be in a relationship with her bandmate Ben Moody. It all ended in acrimony as they had a very public fallout leading to his departure from the band.
  • Josh Hartzler (2007-Present) – Amy Lee got engaged to her longtime friend Josh Hartzler in January 2007. In May 2007, they got married at her family’s house in Little Rock and went to the Bahamas for their honeymoon. On July 24, 2014, she gave birth to a son, Jack Lion Hartzler. She has credited him for inspiring many of her songs.
