'American Idol' contestant auditioned while five months pregnant and also met her now-husband on the show

• Haley Slaton auditioned for "American Idol" on Sunday while being five months pregnant.
• The contestant also met her now-husband during the early auditions of the music competition.

"American Idol" is a memorable time for Haley Slaton – who performed five months pregnant and met her now-husband on the show.

The 23-year-old performed Miley Cyrus' "The Climb" during Sunday's episode. Judges Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan weren't completely sold: "We're not sure," Perry said, before asking the Iowa native what her next song choice would be. Slaton responded with "Adele's 'One and Only.'"

But before she began the soulful song, Perry urged her to "fight for it."

Slaton's second performance earned her a "yes" from all the judges to go to the next round of the competition.

While moving on to the next round was worth cheering for, another part of Slaton's experience on the show wasn't shown during the episode: Slaton met her now-husband, Jordan Myles, during the early auditions of the show.

"We got married pretty quick," Slaton told her local newspaper, The Gazette. "We just knew. We started right off the bat talking to each other, and it ended up being an everyday thing. I was already pregnant, and he stepped up to be a father, and I couldn't thank him enough for that."

She continued: "We're very in love, we're very happy that we met, and I feel like another reason why I was on the show was to meet him. That was a great experience — to meet someone that I finally could spend the rest of my life with."

Myles posted a picture on Instagram of their family. "Love my family," he wrote as the caption.

As reported by SK Pop, Slaton recently shared that she got married on Christmas Eve and had her son in January calling her baby boy "the biggest blessing in our lives."

As for Myles' audition, he seemingly posted about an audition of his that hasn't aired yet in February. "Those [American Idol] boys something serious!! Check us out this season!! February 27th is the season premiere!!! Don't miss out!!" he wrote on Instagram.

Myles has yet to be introduced as a contestant on the show.

"American Idol" airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
