That same afternoon, Fowler filed for divorce a second time in a different county in Tennessee. A court clerk confirmed to Fox News Digital ion Thursday that the new divorce case is still open.

"We've been talking about it for a while, but we've really started thinking about it seriously here these past few months, so that's on the agenda right now," the "Body Like a Back Road" singer told KISS Country 99.9 Miami's "TC & Dina" radio show.
"And I'm hoping that we'll have some good news sooner rather than later."

Hunt was arrested in 2019 and charged with driving under the influence and violating open container law. An arrest warrant said officers found Hunt swerving between lanes and pulled him over. He later apologized, saying he made the "poor and selfish" decision to drive himself home after a friend’s show in Nashville.
Under the plea agreement, his jail sentence of 11 months and 29 days was suspended except for 48 hours, which he agreed to serve at the DUI Education Centers, an alternative sentencing facility. He also had to complete an alcohol safety course and lost his license for a year.
