You hate to see it.
Just weeks after the country music world was rocked by one of the highest-profile divorces in recent memory, with Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo announcing their split after 10 years, Jon Pardi has just announced he will be divorcing his wife, Summer.
Taking to Instagram minutes ago in a joint post, Jon and Summer announced that they will be ending their marriage, citing it as a difficult decision.
“After much thought, we have made the difficult decision to end our marriage. Our daughters will always remain our highest priority and we are committed to moving forward with love and respect as co-parents.
Thank you for your understanding, support, and respect as we navigate these changes as a family.”
In the wake of the news, Jon would announce on his Instagram story that he will be continuing his current stretch of shows throughout the summer. However, he’d explain that he will be taking a break from social media to better focus on himself and his family as he navigates this chapter of his life.
“While I navigate this next chapter, I’m going to take some time away social media to focus on myself and my family. Thanks to you all for the love and support. My team will handle posting for the time being. I’ll see you at the shows.”
The couple has been together since 2017, something Jon himself called “love at first sight.” Two years later, the two got engaged on the stage at Ryman Auditorium back in 2019. On November 21, 2020, they would marry at Saddle Woods Farm in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Since then, as alluded to in the post, they have had two daughters, Presley Fawn, who is three, and Sienna Grace, who will be turning two this month.
Throughout the years, Summer has starred in a plethora of music videos alongside the “Dirt On My Boots” singer, including “Heartache Medication” and, most recently, “Boots Off” earlier in the year.
Thankfully for the couple, it seems as if the split is an amicable one, focusing on their two daughters above everything else. Undoubtedly, divorce is never an easy thing to navigate, so keep the Pardi family in your prayers as they navigate a difficult time in their lives.
