Kelsea Ballerini has announced that she and her husband Morgan Evans are divorcing after nearly five years of marriage.
"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," she wrote in an Instagram Story. "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," Ballerini said, referring to their married life that began in December 2017.
The "Yeah Boy" singer, 28, concluded her statement by saying, "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. With very active schedules coming up, please be mindful that we are both fragile, actively healing and showing up the best we can."
Reports quoting court documents filed by Ballerini last week cite "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for her split from the 37-year-old Australian country music singer and songwriter.
