When Australian singer-songwriter Morgan Evans and American singer Kelsea Ballerini tied the knot in December 2017, it was a heartwarming love story that prospered into a marriage. However, after spending almost five years together, the couple has decided to call it quits.

She wrote in the post that she tried to share her life with her fans as much as possible and hence wanted them to get the news of the split from her. Kelsea added that the decision was difficult for her and was the ultimate end of the journey of love, growth, and effort.

Kelsea, 28, further implied that she was grateful for the years spent with Morgan Evans and hopeful for the future.
