Kelsea Ballerini dishes on split from Morgan Evans, who says claims aren’t ‘reality’

Kelsea Ballerini got candid about her short-lived marriage to fellow country singer Morgan Evans during Wednesday’s episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast.

The “Peter Pan” and “This Feeling” singer filed for divorce from Evans last August after nearly five years of marriage and this week described their relationship as “lopsided.” She told host Alex Cooper that their relationship “would not be alive if I if I didn’t do everything” and readily dished about making more of an effort to see Evans during their marriage than he did. Ballerini also claimed that she financially funded the relationship.

Ballerini, who also opens up about the split on her new divorce EP “Rolling Up the Welcome Mat,” said she met Evans while they were co-hosting an awards show. She was 22. Evans, who is nine years older, moved in with her after eight months of dating and popped the question after they were together for nine months.
