Who Is Phil Wickham?

To understand Mallory’s public profile, it helps to know her husband’s. According to Wikipedia, Phil Wickham was born on April 5, 1984, and comes from San Diego, California. He has released albums including Cannons (2007), Living Hope (2018), Hymn of Heaven (2021) and I Believe (2023).

His song “This Is Amazing Grace” is certified Platinum by the RIAA, and CCM Magazine describes him as a two-time Grammy nominee.

How She Met Phil Wickham

Neither Phil nor Mallory has given a detailed public account of how they first met. Some websites say they met at a specific university, but none cite an interview or record, so we treat that as unverified.

What Phil has shared is the hesitation that came before the proposal. In a RELEVANT Magazine interview summarized by Movieguide, he said he loved Mallory “as a boyfriend, but I also was so scared of commitment.” They dated for about three and a half years while he waited for a clear sign.

The turning point came when a pastor friend asked him a series of questions, including “Would you trust her to be the mother of your kids?” Phil bought a ring the very next day.

Marriage and Wedding

Wikipedia states that Wickham married Mallory Plotnik in 2008. Their anniversary falls in early November: Phil marked 15 years of marriage in November 2023, and Movieguide noted in October 2026 that the couple was about to celebrate 18 years.

Wedding details such as the venue and guest list have never been made public. For more stories like theirs, visit our celebrity spouses section.

“Just Too Good”: An Anniversary Song

For their 15th anniversary, Phil surprised Mallory with a new song. CCM Magazine reported that he released “Just Too Good” as “a gift for his wife, Mallory, in honor of the couple’s 15th wedding anniversary.” He said, “This song is unique because it was written for my wife, Mallory,” and added, “So Mallory, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! This one’s for you. I love you, and I’m so proud of you.”

Children

Phil and Mallory have four children, three daughters and a son, according to Movieguide. Wikipedia also says the couple was living in San Diego with their four children as of December 2023.

The children are minors, and the family rarely puts them in the spotlight, so we do not publish their ages, schools or other personal details. Profiles of adult children of celebrities live in our celebrity kids section instead.

What Is Not Confirmed About Mallory

Scan Insider checked the most common claims about her. None of these has a reliable source behind it:

  • Age and birth date: no record or interview confirms them.
  • Career: her job, past or present, is not publicly documented.
  • Net worth: no credible estimate exists; Phil’s music income is not a measure of her personal wealth.
  • Health rumors: we found no reliable report supporting online claims about a serious illness.
  • Social media: we could not confirm an official public account in her name.

Life Today

Phil keeps touring and releasing music, while Mallory focuses on family life away from the stage. In a Crosswalk interview quoted by Movieguide, Phil described his hope for the future as being “80 years old next to my 77-year-old wife on the porch in a rocking chair,” still in love, with healthy children and grandchildren.
