Country music star Carly Pearce recently sat down with Bunnie Xo for an interview on her “Dumb Blonde” podcast and these days that means there will be headlines.
Bunnie, who is the wife of country music star Jelly Roll, has a way of getting folks to spill all the tea, and one of the big headlines coming out of this recent episode was Pearce’s revelation about her divorce from Michael Ray.
The two actually split back in 2020, and Pearce has talked about it before, but she opened up in a big way with Bunnie.
“I thought he was so cute,” Pearce said remembering when the two first met back in 2018. “I’d heard he’s the nicest guy in the world. I invited him to my (Billboard Country Airplay) No. 1 party for ‘Every Little Thing.’ Looking back on it, it was a hot and heavy lust. It wasn’t love. It was just passionate.
“I got married to go the distance,” she added. “When I married him it was for the right reasons. I think when you travel like this, I thought I was doing the right thing to get married till I was 29. But we didn’t have real conversations, and we didn’t really know about each other. We were kind of living this life that wasn’t really reality. I think we didn’t really know each other. I knew the night I got married that I shouldn’t have. I think the best thing that ever happened to me was COVID, because it allowed me to deal with that in private. I think that I probably would have stayed in it longer if I could have avoided it and not had to. I was embarrassed when it happened … and was heartbroken.”
Billboard noted that Pearce filed for divorce less than a year after the two were married.
“It wasn’t what I signed up for,” she said. “It just wasn’t the marriage that I know I deserved. I knew that very quickly. We were only married for eight months. Plenty happened to where it was very clear to me this was not, this just wasn’t a marriage.”
She did tell Bunnie Xo that despite the heartbreak she was thankful for “the lessons learned from the marriage.”
“Thank you, because you taught me how strong I am,” she said. “You put me through things that have made me better now. And I don’t wish him evil. I don’t wish anything on him. I’m so glad that I’m not in that anymore.”
