American singers Kelsea Ballerini and Morgan Evans are calling it quits with their marriage.
The “Heartfirst” singer, 28, filed for divorce from the “Kiss Somebody” musician, 37, on Friday, August 26th. The divorce comes after nearly five years of marriage, PEOPLE confirms.
“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,” a source tells PEOPLE. “They gave it their best go. But unfortunately arrived at the decision to formally separate.”
Ballerini addressed the split on her Instagram Story Monday morning, writing, “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 a 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.
With very active schedules coming up, please be mindful that we are both fragile, actively healing, and showing up the best we can.”
The country singers first met in March 2016 while co-hosting the CMC Awards in Evans’ native Australia. They got engaged that December. The now estranged couple tied the knot a year and a half later in an intimate oceanside ceremony in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
