• Morgan Evans wasn’t the kind of man Kelsea Ballerini wanted to marry.
• They both split towards the end of 2022.
• She said: “Who you marry is not who you divorce.

After nearly five years of marriage, the 29-year-old singer and fellow country artist Morgan, 37, split towards the end of 2022.

She also confessed in a candid interview for the “Call Her Daddy” podcast that she only got married to “make other people happy.”

She spilled: “I just wanted everyone to have a nice time. I didn’t want to have a wedding.

“I didn’t think, at the end of the day, I really want to get married – I did, in that moment, but fundamentally, I think from the trauma I had as a kid, I didn’t. I think I told myself that I did. And I take full responsibility of that narrative.”

She continued: “I just did it all, and it is because I started it that way. “I didn’t ask him to meet me anywhere, I just did it.”

“I got to a place where if I was like, ‘If I wasn’t killing myself to figure out how this overlaps and how this works,’ as I’m like busy, we just wouldn’t exist.

“I just think, if you want, you will.”

Kelsea continued by saying that after their quick divorce, Morgan wanted to claim the house he “didn’t pay for,” and that is when things became violent.

She said: “Who you marry is not who you divorce.

“As he’s putting out a song about being blindsided, he’s taking half the house that he didn’t pay for.”

The ‘Love Me Like You Mean It’ singer acknowledges that learning about that aspect of the man she loved was “challenging.”

She said: “Hurt people, hurt people. I totally get that. And I have grace, I really do, because I do know that he was hurt and is hurt, but how was I married to this person for so long and I had no idea that that bit of character was tucked within that human being? That’s what’s hard for me.”

However, she insisted she can’t put all the blame on her ex, explaining how their busy work schedules got in the way of their relationship.

She said: “I was not perfect, he was not perfect, it was not perfect.

“And so, there were definitely moments that I look back on where I’m like, ‘Oh, I should of done that different, or, ‘I could of showed up here. I could of taken the flight this time.’

“And in the unraveling, that thing I ended up sharing with him, just saying like, ‘I need to own the last few years of like, I think, I checked out a long time ago and I need to let you know that.'”
