Brothers Osborne is feeling the love after T.J. Osborne came out publicly as gay in an interview with TIME.
“Words can’t describe the immense amount of love we feel today,” read a tweet from the country duo on Wednesday. "This world, as imperfect as it may be, is beautiful at its core and our collective open minds/hearts are what make anything possible. Wishing the best that love has to offer to each and every one of you.”
Osborne’s fellow country artists were quick to show their support.
“Love this guy right here,” Dierks Bentley captioned a photo of he and Osborne. “Happy you are telling your story dude.”
