Carly Pearce was married to fellow country singer Michael Ray for less than one year.
The former couple tied the knot in October 2019, in front of about 100 family and friends on a Nashville-area farm. The wedding was officiated by Grand Ole Opry announcer Bill Cody. “Knowing without a shadow of a doubt that I didn’t settle for something less than truly the person that I think was made for me is something that I am thankful for,” Pearce said at the time.
After eight months of marriage, Pearce filed for divorce. They made their final public appearance as a couple on June 6, 2020, when they performed at the Grand Ole Opry without an audience. “This was a hard decision. It wasn’t something she wanted to have to do,” a source close to Pearce told PEOPLE in June 2020.
The two “very quickly realized we were not meant to be,” Pearce told PEOPLE in November 2020. “This was not a flippant decision,” she added. “This was something that I really took time to make sure I was doing the right thing. It was very clear that this was not the marriage that I wanted.”
