Country singers Carly Pearce and Michael Ray call it quits after 8 months of marriage

Country singer Carly Pearce has filed for divorce from her husband Michael Ray, "Good Morning America" has confirmed.

The couple married in October 2019. Followers on social media have speculated for weeks about why the once-effusive couple no longer comment on each other’s posts or shares pictures together.

"This was a hard decision," an unnamed source close to Pearce told People magazine, which first reported news of the couple's split. "It wasn't something she wanted to have to do. This hasn't been a quarantine realization -- it was a last resort."

A week ago, Pearce was asked about status of her relationship in an interview celebrating her No. 1 hit, "I Hope You’re Happy Now."

"I know that everybody keeps asking me where Michael is, but he's just really focused on music," Pearce said in response to ABC Audio’s inquiry. "And I think he's not posting a lot and doing a lot of things just for a reason."

"And I think I'm really proud of him for the music that he's working on right now," she added. "I think it's a big evolution for him. And I think people are really gonna get to know him. And I'm happy for him in that."

Pearce went on to reveal her next single won’t be from her just-released second album. Instead, it’ll be entirely new music she’s been working on over quarantine.

So far, neither Pearce nor Ray has commented publicly on their pending divorce.
