Kellie Pickler didn’t take the top prize on American Idol, but she has won the heart of Nashville Predators hockey star Jordin Tootoo, 24. “We’ve been seeing each other since January, but we kept it under wraps,” Pickler, 20, says in the new issue of Us.

Sparks flew when Tootoo invited the singer—who appeared on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM radio show on May 14 and refused to confirm or deny rumors that she had breast augmentation surgery—to one of his games.

“I am this country bumpkin and he’s an Eskimo,” says Pickler, who plans to visit his central Canada hometown this summer. “I’m going to build an igloo!”????
