“For a while, it was kind of like, ‘OK, this is just a new phase of a relationship,'” Ballerini stated. “Because relationships go through seasons, right? And it’s not always going to be butterflies and rainbows.”
“For a long time, I was like, ‘Oh this is just… The glitter wears off. That’s what happens,'” she noted. “And then you get into a phase where you wait for it to come back. And then sometimes it doesn’t.”
Kelsea Ballerini: “WHAT I HAVE”
Back in August, the “Heartfirst” singer had announced she and Evans, 37, were divorcing after 5 years of marriage. In October, the two singers came to a divorce settlement agreement. As part of said agreement, the former couple has moved out of their Nashville home and will equally split protest from its sale. The exes also had a prenuptial agreement, according to ET Online.
According to Ballerini, part of her decision for the divorce was due to her mental health and happiness. “At the end of the day, it is such a disservice and a dishonoring of yourself if you know something is not right and you stay,” Ballerini stated. “[Shame] is the one thing that I just refuse to feel… Judge me for it, fine, that’s on you.”
The duo had originally met in March 2016 and got engaged in December 2016. They went on to marry the following year in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
