However, they eventually reunited and got engaged in January 2016.
Sam Hunt and his wife, Hannah Lee Fowler, are expecting their second child together. The country music star reportedly first announced the news during his show in Las Vegas Friday night. A rep for the singer confirmed the exciting news to Billboard on Saturday.
The couple first met at the University of Alabama at Birmingham when Hunt was a football player. They later broke up for a short time when he moved to Nashville to pursue his country music career, but eventually reunited and got engaged in January 2016. They tied the knot in April 2017.
In March 2022, Hunt announced during his co-hosting gig for the Country Countdown USA that he and Fowler were expecting a little girl. However, the pregnancy news came just weeks after the Alabama-born nurse filed for divorce from the singer after nearly five years of marriage. Fowler accused her husband of cheating on her and being “guilty of inappropriate marital conduct” and “guilty of adultery.” She also petitioned the court for three kinds of alimony and asked for primary custody of their unborn child. Hours later, she withdrew the divorce petition because her lawyers filed the case in the wrong county. Fowler then refiled for divorce a second time in the correct county.
The couple has since rekindled their romance and Fowler asked the courts to dismiss her divorce filing in April 2022. They welcomed their first child together, 10-month-old daughter Lucy Lu, last year. An eyewitness told Entertainment Tonight that Hunt shared that Fowler and Lucy Lu were joining him in Las Vegas that weekend.
