People<\/a> exclusively Monday, with Kerr describing the decision as \u201cheartbreaking, honestly.\u201d Font told the outlet that after making the decision they had \u201ckind of been sitting on this secret for months, which has been hard.\u201d<\/p>\nFont will embark on a solo career while Kerr will become a stay-at-home mother and wife, focusing on her two young children and her husband, Grammy-winning songwriter and producer Josh Kerr. <\/p>\n
But there are no hard feelings between the \u201cGirl in a Country Song\u201d singers. \u201cI think I\u2019m really excited to just be best friends and nurture our friendship and not have to worry as much about the work and still get to raise our babies together,\u201d Font said. \u201cNone of that changes.\u201d<\/p>\n
They have been \u201cattached at the hips\u201d since they were 15 years old, said Kerr, whose daughter is 3 going on 4 and son is 13 months. Their first hit came when they were 19 and had relocated from Texas and Oklahoma to Tennessee. Four albums later, Kerr told People she\u2019s grateful to have the option to stay close to home and family for a while, because her heart hasn\u2019t been into touring and performing like it once was. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile Font, who has a 2-year-old son with stay-at-home husband Jonah Font, said, \u201cMomma gotta make some money!\u201d She said she\u2019s writing songs that will be released \u201csometime next year\u201d and might include hints of gospel, R&B and soul.<\/p>\n
And the good friends definitely plan to keep in touch.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re leaving this so open-ended because, you know, we might make another record one day,\u201d Font told People. \u201cWe might go do some tour dates one day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kerr told the outlet, \u201cAbsolutely.\u201d<\/p>\n
But for now, Font noted, \u201cit doesn\u2019t feel aligned for us to do it together.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
