Rare Country readers love Scotty McCreery. Period. So, when he and his beautiful girlfriend, Gabi, celebrated five years of courtship, our mutual friends were as tickled as they were. Now, this cute-as-can-be couple hasn’t made any formal declaration of engagement or anything like that, but Scotty has admitted he can’t imagine life without the pretty brunette and that’s good enough for us. Besides, they’re still young. They have plenty of time.
