Is Kelsea Ballerini looking for love? The “Legends” songstress is officially on the market following her 2022 divorce from ex-husband Morgan Evans.
The country music stars met in 2016 and quickly started dating. Kelsea and Morgan officially tied the knot in December 2017 and had nearly five years of marital bliss. However, she announced their split via Instagram in August 2022.
“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,” Kelsea wrote, in part. “This is now public record so I wanted you to hear from me directly that I am going through a divorce.”
Morgan, for his part, shared his own statement, writing, “I am very sad to confirm that after almost five years of marriage, Kelsea and I are parting ways. I wish it were otherwise, but sadly it’s not.”
Life & Style confirmed that the former couple finalized their divorce in November 2022.

The “Love Is a Cowboy” singer explained that the decision to split was “rough” because of her and Morgan’s feelings.
“It’s not chaotic. It’s not, like, volatile, it just didn’t work,” the Tennessee native told CBS Mornings in October 2022. “And that sometimes is like a difficult narrative to get your head around when you’re like, ‘Oh, my gosh. This is a good person. And I’m a good person. And this is just no longer good anymore.’”
