Grammy-nominated country-pop singer Kelsea Ballerini and her Australia-born country singer husband Morgan Evans are divorcing.
On Instagram Stories, where posts rotate out after 24 hours, Ballerini, 28, wrote in part Monday, "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," she said, according to multiple accounts of the since cycled-out message. "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."
On his own Instagram Stories the same day, the 37-year-old Morgan said, "I am very sad to confirm that after almost 5 years of marriage, Kelsea and I are parting ways. I wish it were otherwise but sadly it is not." The Nashville Tennessean newspaper reported that Davidson County court records confirm Ballerini filed for divorce Friday. The couple, who met in 2016 and married on Dec. 2, 2017, have no children. Ballerini's fifth album, "Subject to Change," is scheduled to drop Sept. 23.
