Kelsea Ballerini Share New Details Of ‘'Nasty" Divorce/Rumors Fly About Infidelity

Kelsea Ballerini appeared on the podcast Call Her Daddy yesterday, dishing on her divorce from fellow country star Morgan Evans. She said that the breaking point in their marriage was when she realized she wasn't ready for kids, while Evans was eager to become a father.

The couple talked about children early on, but Ballerini was changing her mind about it, and the final straw was when she visited a doctor to look into freezing her eggs without telling Evans. When she eventually told him, it confirmed that they were on different pages, and she eventually filed for divorce in August 2022, which was finalized in November 2022.

Evans has reacted to the podcast, sharing a statement on Instagram claiming that her recounting of events "aren't reality.” Could he be referencing the story “Page Six” published last night - alleging that Ballerini may have cheated on Evans with The Chainsmokers member Drew Taggart at Lollapalooza? Ballerini does reveal that right before the CMA Awards in August 2019, right after Lollapalooza, she and Evans had a huge fight and slept on the couch.

One more thing! Here are a few key takeaways from the interview and quotes from Ballerini:

• Her parents divorced as well: ““I watched my parents really have a time with [marriage]. They had a nasty divorce...They still can’t really be in the same room.”
• She slept on the couch…a lot: “There was, like, many a night of sleeping on the couch,” she said before recalling, “I slept on the couch the night before the CMAs, and I remember I went to rehearsal at the arena and texting him, and him being like, ‘I’ll see you at the carpet.'”
• She “wasn’t ready” to have children: “[Evans] was like, ‘I don’t want to be an old dad’ … and I was like, ‘I’m not there yet, and I can’t do that to save this and give you something that I’m not ready for. I just can’t do that to myself.'”
• She hasn’t spoken to Evans since their divorce: “I haven’t talked to him since. … Everything kind of just shifted. I mean, I’m at peace with it now.”
• She was “angry” about Evans’ “divorce” song: “I was so angry, so angry. I had a pretty good grasp on my grieving journey until that song came out — and I was livid.”
• She slid into Chase Stokes’ DMs: “My manager…put the bug in my ear. He’s like, ‘You know who’s really cute when you’re ready? Chase.’ I was like, ‘You’re so right…So I followed him…and I just swan-dove right on in.”
• She isn’t looking to get married again: “And I think if you want to be with someone, it should be a daily choice.”
