Sam Hunt's pregnant wife files for divorce

Sam Hunt's pregnant wife has filed for divorce, accusing the singer of adultery and "cruel and inhuman treatment".

Hannah Lee Fowler submitted documents to end her marriage to the 37-year-old country singer in Tennessee on Friday (18.02.22) and in the court documents, she alleged the 'Body Like a Back Road' crooner was "guilty of inappropriate marital conduct" and had also been unfaithful.

She also declared: "All hopes of reconciliation are exhausted.”

The pair - who married in 2017 - hadn't publicly announced they were expecting a baby but Hannah's documents note she is due to give birth in May and has asked to be named the primary residential guardian of their child.

She is also seeking child support and “transitional alimony, rehabilitative alimony and alimony in [the] future”.

The paperwork suggested the pair have a pre-nuptial agreement in place because Hannah requested “the parties [to] be awarded their respective separate property."

Last summer, the 'House Party' singer revealed he and Hannah were trying for a baby.

He said in July 2021: “We’ve really started thinking about it seriously here these past few months, so that’s on the agenda right now, and I’m hoping that we’ll have some good news sooner than later."

Last August, Sam pleaded guilty to two misdemeanour DUI charges stemming from a 2019 arrest in Nashville and was sentenced to 11 months and 29 days in Jail, but all but 48 hours of the term was deferred and he was to serve the remaining time in the DUI Education Centers, an alternative facility, rather than in prison.

He was also required to complete an alcohol safety course and pay $1,599 in fees and install an interlock device in is car after having his license suspended for a year.

After his arrest, Sam apologised for his "poor and selfish decision".

He tweeted at the time: “Thursday night I decided to drive myself home after drinking at a friend’s show in downtown Nashville.

“It was a poor and selfish decision and I apologize to everyone who was unknowingly put at risk and let down by it.(sic)"
