Summer speaks. Just weeks after the country music world was rocked by one of the highest-profile divorces in recent memory, with Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo announcing their split after 10 years, Jon Pardi has just announced he will be divorcing his wife, Summer. Taking to Instagram in a joint post, Jon and Summer announced that they will be ending their marriage: “After much thought, we have made the difficult decision to end our marriage. Our daughters will always remain our highest priority and we are committed to moving forward with love and respect as co-parents. Thank you for your understanding, support, and respect as we navigate these changes as a family.” View this post on Instagram In the wake of the news, Jon announced on his Instagram story that he will be continuing his current stretch of shows throughout the summer. However, he explained that he will be taking a break from social media to better focus on himself and his family as he enters a new chapter of his life: “While I navigate this next chapter, I’m going to take some time away social media to focus on myself and my family. Thanks to you all for the love and support. My team will handle posting for the time being. I’ll see you at the shows.” And now, Summer is finally addressing the news herself. In a brief Instagram story, Summer essentially said that fans have been asking for her to share more on the divorce and ultimately that she’s declining to do so. She confessed that this is an extremely difficult time for her and her family, as you might expect, but that it will remain a private matter. “I know many of you have seen the news about Jon and me. I wanted to acknowledge it here beyond the joint statement we put out. This has been a very difficult and deeply personal time for our family. While so much of our life is shared online, there are parts of it that I’ll always choose to keep private, especially something as difficult as this. I’m so grateful for the kindness, prayers, and support so many of you have already shown us. It truly means more than you know. I will continue showing up on here and sharing links and parts of life with you, like I always have. This space is a part of my work, but it’s also a place that brings me joy, connecting with so many of you. Again, thank you for all of the love and support for our family.” Understandable… perhaps when the wound isn’t so fresh she will be willing to divulge more details. Then again, maybe not… and that’s her right. As much as celebrities and their wives put their personal lives on display for the fans, none of us are entitled to nay information beyond what they’re willing to share with us. Of course, rumors may swirl and fans will believe their own versions of the what and why, but ultimately, we’ll never know what goes on behind closed doors, and the inner workings of someone else’s marriage. Jon & Summer’s Backstory The couple has been together since 2017, something Jon himself called “love at first sight.” Two years later, the two got engaged on the stage at Ryman Auditorium back in 2019. On November 21, 2020, they would marry at Saddle Woods Farm in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Since then, as alluded to in the post, they have had two daughters, Presley Fawn, who is three, and Sienna Grace, who will be turning two this month. Throughout the years, Summer has starred in a plethora of music videos alongside the “Dirt On My Boots” singer, including “Heartache Medication” and, most recently, “Boots Off” earlier in the year. There’s been a ton of speculation about the couple on social media over the past couple months, after internet sleuths picked up on the separation back in May based on the couple’s posts. And as it turns out, they were right. The Complaint The divorce complaint, which was obtained and reviewed by Whiskey Riff, was filed by Summer back on May 12, 2026, and lists the date of separation as May 11, the day before she officially filed. In the complaint, Summer cites irreconcilable differences as the grounds for divorce, which is basically a no-fault grounds in Tennessee that allows the court to grant a divorce without assigning blame when both parties agree to the separation. And she also requests that the court grant her primary custody of their two children: “Wife would show that she is a fit and proper person to be designated as the primary residential parent of the parties’ minor children. The best interests and welfare of the minor children will be served by designating the Wife as the primary residential parent.” And she also requests that the court order her husband to pay spousal support – more commonly known as alimony: “Wife would show that she is in need of spousal support, including but not limited to pendente lite and permanent, and Husband has the ability to pay.” (Pendente lite spousal support means that she’s requesting the court enter an order granting her alimony while the litigation is pending – i.e. she’s asking that he be ordered to pay her before the divorce is actually granted). Summer Pardi is represented by Rose Palermo, the “divorce attorney to the stars” who is also representing Jelly Roll in his divorce, and has represented other high profile clients like Kelsea Ballerini, Kristin Cavallari, Conway Twitty, Wynonna Judd, and many, many more in their divorces.The post Jon Pardi’s Wife, Summer, Breaks Silence On Divorce: “Very Difficult & Deeply Personal Time” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
