Crystal Bowersox gets married, dubs herself “walkersox”

Crystal Bowersox got married today to fiance Brian Walker, and announced the news via her Twitter account. After declaring herself moments ago to now be “Officially mamasox!!!” she quickly pointed out that she instead meant “walkersox” – a combination of her long-running nickname and her new husband’s last name. Bowersox has previously stated that it was Walker who came up with the name “mamasox” in the first place, in reference to the fact that she’s the mother of a small child.

Crystal Bowersox was the runner-up on this past season of American Idol, losing out to fellow contestant Lee DeWyze after having been the frontrunner all year long. Her major label debut album is forthcoming, without an exact announced release date as of yet. Congrats to Crystal and Brian on their wedding.
