Evans Was Previously Married to Kelsea Ballerini
Morgan Evans was previously married to Kelsea Ballerini for almost five years. They started dating in 2016 and tied the knot in December 2017. Ballerini announced their split in August 2022, and their divorce was finalized in November of that year.
Ballerini went on to start dating Outer Banks actor Chase Stokes in 2023. In September of this year, it was reported that they had broken up. Despite reports from earlier this month that they had rekindled their romance, Stokes implied that they were no longer together in a recent Instagram post.
“Don’t believe the media. I’m blocked, I did nothing wrong. Sorry. I tried,” he wrote on Instagram stories. “I’m sorry for those who believed in us. It is what it is. Onwards and upwards.”
