The "Heartfirst" singer, Kelsea Ballerini, 28, filed for divorce from the "Kiss Somebody" musician, Morgan Evans, 37, after living together in five years of marriage.
Ballerini announced her breakup on her Instagram story stating,
"Friends, I've always tried my best to share my life with you in a real and vulnerable way, while also protecting layers of my personal life as they unfold. This is now public record so I wanted you to hear from me directly that I am going through a divorce."
"This deeply difficult decision is the result of a journey of love, growth, and effort that ultimately has come to an end."
"It's hard to find the words here...but I feel extremely grateful for the years of marriage to Morgan and hopeful for the next seasons."
According to an insider,
"They've been working on their marriage for a very long time. Prior to this they had separated privately once before and have been in therapy for several years, They gave it their best go but unfortunately arrived at the decision to formally separate."
The country singers start dating each other in March 2016 after co-hosting the CMC Awards in Evans' native Australia. Later the pair got engaged in December and after being in a relationship for one and a half year together they married in 2017 in an intimate ceremony in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
