RaeLynn revealed this week that she filed for divorce from her husband, Joshua Davis, after more than 10 years.
“After much thought and prayer, I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce,” the 32-year-old country singer wrote on social media Tuesday.
“As a working mom, I am committed to giving my daughter the love, stability, and support she will need while we navigate this next chapter together. I am grateful for the love and encouragement of my family, friends, and fans, and I respectfully ask for privacy as we move forward with grace and compassion.”
The couple share one daughter, Daisy Rae, who is 4 years old.
The singer spoke to Fox News in 2017, calling her husband “selfless” for his military service.
“I’m just so proud of him,” she said at the time.
The pair met at church in 2012 and later reconnected at a wedding before marrying in 2016.
Davis is a former financial advisor and an Army veteran.
The “God Made Girls” singer has written several songs about her husband, including “Camo,” “Diamonds” and “Lonely Call.”
“I wrote ‘Diamonds’ after we got engaged, and the hook of the song is a diamond is just a diamond until you put it on the right left hand,” she told Fox News in 2017, shortly after Davis had returned from basic training.
“It’s one of my favorite songs to sing because I love to honor my husband.”
She filed for divorce in Nashville June 8, citing irreconcilable differences, according to People magazine.
RaeLynn has shared several photos of her daughter this summer, including one of the two of them dancing to her duet with Rhett Akins, “We’re American Made.”
She and her daughter danced in the video while twinning in patriotic clothing as her daughter clutched a Woody doll from “Toy Story.”
In the video, RaeLynn wore blue cowgirl boots with red stars, and Daisy Rae sported a red checkered jumper, red cowgirl boots and American flag bows in her hair.
In 2016, RaeLynn told Taste of Country she wrote her song “Love Triangle” about her parents’ divorce.
“Anybody that I’ve ever talked to that comes as a child of divorce like me, there’s a part of you that’s scared, but there’s also a part of you that knows that you don’t ever want to repeat those mistakes,” she told the outlet soon after her marriage.
“I will never ever put my kid through that, and I never want to go through that, because I saw how much it hurt my mom and how much it hurt my dad.
“I look at marriage in a totally different way. I feel like our generation kind of looks at it as a disposable thing, but it’s not. It’s a commitment. When I made that commitment, I made it for life, and I’m gonna stick to it.”
