New chapter for country star Jake Owen
Singer releases fourth studio album, first as husband and father
Jake Owen is all about sharing his "Real Life" these days. That includes opening up to fans on his marriage struggles.
The 33-year-old country singer told "America's Morning Show" that he's been having communication issues with his wife, Lacey Buchanan.
"Right now—and I haven’t said this a lot lately because I didn’t think this was anyone’s business other than mine and my wife’s—but my wife and I, for the last few months, have really been having a hard time and struggling with communication, and literally talking about divorce and all kinds of stuff," he told the show. "And I don’t want to talk about that, but after long conversations for days and weeks, part of us talking about it and getting it out there and letting people know that we’re the same as they are, we have problems, too, it made us feel better talking about the things we’ve kept from each other."
The singer met his wife on the set of his "Eight Second Ride" music video in 2009. The pair married in 2012 and have one daughter, Olive Pearl, born the same year.
