The speculation comes after the tThe two-time Grammy nominee revealed last month why she decided to end her four-year marriage to country singer Morgan Evans.
“For a while, it was kind of like, ‘Okay, this is just a new phase of a relationship,’ because relationships go through seasons, right? And it’s not always going to be butterflies and rainbows,’ the Tennessee native said on iHeart Radio’s Doin’ Our Best podcast.
‘For a long time, I thought, ‘Oh, this is just… the glow goes away. That is what happens’. And then you go into a phase where you wait for him to come back. And then sometimes it doesn’t.
