COUNTRY star Kelsea Ballerini began dating fellow country music star Morgan Evans in March 2016, but their relationship didn't last long.

Who is Kelsea Ballerini's ex-husband, Morgan Evans?

The native Australian was born in Newcastle, New South Wales, on April 25, 1985.
The singer-songwriter is best known for his 2017 crossover hit, Kiss Somebody.
Their relationship was short-lived, however, and the couple ended up separating just a few years laters.
On August 29, 2022, magazine revealed that Kelsea had filed for divorce from her husband of five years just three days before the news became public.
After fan speculation, Kelsea posted a story on her professional Instagram account confirming the couple's separation.
Their divorce was finalized on November 15, 2022.
When did Kelsea and Morgan get married?
Kelsea and Morgan’s whirlwind romance began after the two cohosted Australia’s Country Music Channel Awards in 2016.
After the awards ceremony came to a close, the two celebrated with tequila shots.
"He was like, 'Let’s take a shot,'" she told in 2017.
"I remember taking that shot and putting it down and looking at him like, 'Oh … he's super-hot.' Later that night he leaned over and asked if he could kiss me, like a proper gentleman, and I said yes."
By the end of 2016, Morgan proposed to Kelsea on Christmas, and in 2017, the pair tied the knot in an intimate oceanside wedding ceremony in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
The pair exchanged emotional vows and shared their first dance to Christina Perri's A Thousand Years.
“With our careers, we get to do what we love, then we get to find time to be with who we love,” Kelsea told .
“I think that makes for a really full life — when you can do everything that you want, and then share it with someone."
Who is Kelsea Ballerini dating now?
Kelsea Ballerini didn't take too long to mourn the end of her first marriage.
A few months after splitting from Morgan Evans, Kelsea was spotted hanging out with actor Chase Stokes, sparking dating rumors.
Stokes is best known for his role as John B. Rutledge in the Netflix teen drama, Outer Banks.
Stokes was previously linked with his Outer Banks costar, Madelyn Cline, who has seemingly moved on herself, to none other than Pete Davidson.
The couple kept things relatively private and low-key before confirming their relationship with a series of photos on social media in early 2023.
Ballerini confirmed that she made the first move in the duo's relationship on the Call Her Daddy podcast.
She told host Alex Cooper that she slid into the actor's DMs on Instagram.
Since then, the duo have been inseparable, with Stokes even sticking up for the country star after a mishap at one of her summer concerts.
