Country singer Kelsea Ballerini<\/a><\/strong> and ex-husband Morgan Evans<\/strong> announced their split in August 2022<\/a> after nearly five years of marriage. <\/span>While the former couple has remained quiet about the reasons behind their split, rumors began swirling that the \u201cHalf of My Hometown\u201d songstress cheated on her ex with Drew Taggart<\/strong><\/a> while making the 2018 hit \u201cThis Feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n The alleged affair reportedly occurred at Lollapalooza in August 2019, according to Page Six<\/em><\/a>. Kelsea, 29, kept it a secret from her husband until 2021, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n \u201cDrew was single at the time that they had been collaborating on this song,\u201d a source tells <\/span>Life & Style <\/span><\/i>about the Chainsmokers frontman.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Just one day before rumors swirled about her infidelity in her marriage, Morgan took to social media to slam the way his ex had depicted their divorce<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s really sad for me to see this person, who I spent so much of my life with, and loved with all my heart, saying things that aren\u2019t reality and that leave out what really happened,\u201d the Australian songwriter shared via Instagram on February 21. \u201cShe knows I\u2019m not the type of guy to speak on those things publicly. If this is what she needs to heal, I hope it helps.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The Tennessee native appeared on the \u201cCall Her Daddy\u201d podcast<\/a> on Wednesday, February 22, where she opened up about their divorce<\/a> to host Alex Cooper<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThere were separations, there was years of couples therapy. There was like, many a night of sleeping on the couch,\u201d she revealed. \u201cI don\u2019t think it was the first night, but it was a night where I was like, this is not what I want.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Kelsea went on to say that they would often go long periods without seeing each other, adding that \u201cthere was a lack of effort<\/a> to see each other.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI was getting resentful because any time we did see each other, I felt like I was carrying that load, and I was tired,\u201d she shared. \u201cI was just tired of showing up in that way all the time and not feeling like I was seen or matched.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Kelsea and Morgan tied the knot in December 2017 after dating for nearly two years. The \u201cPeter Pan\u201d artist filed for divorce in August 2022, citing irreconcilable differences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cFriends, I\u2019ve 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,\u201d Kelsea announced via Instagram at the time. \u201cThis is now public record, so I wanted you to hear from me directly<\/a> that I am going through a divorce.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>Voice <\/span><\/i>alum has since moved on from the relationship and has been linked to <\/span>Outer Banks <\/span><\/i><\/a>actor Chase Stokes<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
