I invited him to my (Billboard Country Airplay) No. 1 party for \u2018Every Little Thing.\u2019 Looking back on it, it was a hot and heavy lust. It wasn\u2019t love. It was just passionate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"XO5PULHS7FDALNKDOLW7EPFIKM\">\u201cI got married to go the distance,\u201d she added. \u201cWhen 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\u2019t have real conversations, and we didn\u2019t really know about each other. We were kind of living this life that wasn\u2019t really reality. I think we didn\u2019t really know each other. I knew the night I got married that I shouldn\u2019t 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 \u2026 and was heartbroken.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"BDN4VHKNMVAOVNE3NYCXME6DHA\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/entertainment\/news\/carly-pearce-opens-up-about-michael-ray-divorce-on-bunnie-xo-podcast-it-just-wasn-t-the-marriage-that-i-know-i-deserved\/ar-AA1LcXTk?ocid=BingNewsSerp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/entertainment\/news\/carly-pearce-opens-up-about-michael-ray-divorce-on-bunnie-xo-podcast-it-just-wasn-t-the-marriage-that-i-know-i-deserved\/ar-AA1LcXTk?ocid=BingNewsSerp\"><b>Billboard noted that Pearce filed for divorce<\/b><\/a> less than a year after the two were married. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"6VKWHF3FBJD7FF22TZ5WANTIRU\">\u201cIt wasn\u2019t what I signed up for,\u201d she said. \u201cIt just wasn\u2019t the marriage that I know I deserved.
