After graduating, Kelly moved into the professional world and currently works at Lockton Companies as an accounts manager. Lockton is one of the largest privately held insurance brokerage firms in the world. She keeps a deliberately low profile on social media, with her Instagram set to private.

The relationship timeline of Kelly & J.T. Poston

By February 2021, J.T. had publicly declared his feelings. He posted a photo of the two of them on the Augusta National practice range on Valentine’s Day that year, writing that he was looking forward to “many more happy hour sunsets with a few range sessions mixed in between.”

On November 27, 2021, J.T. proposed to Kelly at Kiawah Island’s Ocean Course. After the proposal, they were engaged for just over a year. On August 10, 2022, J.T. posted a birthday tribute to Kelly, calling her “30 and thriving” and his “future wife,” adding that “December 2nd can’t come soon enough,” making it clear the wedding date was already set.

They married on December 2, 2022, at Forbes Farms in St. Simons Island, Georgia. J.T. and the couple posted a wedding photo the following week.

“12/2/22 was the best day of my life. Mrs. Poston, everyone!” they wrote.

Soon, Kelly shared a pregnancy announcement from Savannah’s waterfront. Their “Baby Girl P” was due in March 2024. On March 20, 2024, J.T. announced the arrival of their first daughter, Katherine Scott Poston, nicknamed “Scottie.”

He called Kelly “a superstar” and said their lives had “changed for the better.” As a new family of three, they adjusted to life on the PGA Tour with a newborn.

“It’s definitely an adjustment,” J.T. Poston said. “I think my wife and I were figuring it out. My mom is here. She’s helping us out, too. So we’ve got plenty of help. We’re just kind of figuring it out.”

By April 2025, at the Masters, J.T. Poston posted a black-and-white family photo at Augusta National with Scottie in tow, calling it a “tradition unlike any other.” The couple also welcomed their second daughter earlier this year.

Kelly Poston has been a steady presence through every chapter of J.T.’s career. With two daughters, a demanding career of her own, and a husband currently leading a major PGA Tour event, she is clearly holding a lot together behind the scenes.
