2. Denise Jackson's maiden name was Jackson!

Before becoming Denise Jackson, Alan Jackson's wife's name was... Denise Jackson. No jokes, please. The last name is a common one -- perhaps one of the most popular American surnames around. Alan and Denise were high school sweethearts, who married in 1979. You can see her in the music video for his 2003 hit 'Remember When.'
