It was a tale as old as time: Morgan Evans wanted kids, but Kelsea Ballerini wasn’t ready to take the plunge. Speaking with Alex Cooper on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Ballerini detailed the moment she found out that she and Evans just weren’t meant to be, and it all boiled out to the discussion about starting a family.
“I don’t know if I want kids at all or not. But that was something we had talked about early on, and that was something that I was changing on. You know, because he was ready,” she said before alluding to their significant age difference. “He was like, ‘I don’t want to be an old dad,’ and I was like, ‘I’m just not there yet.'” When she turned 30, she brought up that she wanted to freeze her eggs, and that’s when it all clicked. “I think that was when I was like, ‘There’s a fundamental difference here that has happened and that has shifted,’ and … it was like, ‘He wants something out of life, and I’m not there.'”

Even their close circle was privy to the fact that they were on different pages when it came to having a family. “She kept it a secret from most in her life. Morgan and Kelsea’s main issue was their disagreement about having kids,” an insider told Us Weekly. “Morgan [had] been ready for a long time. They had been having issues, relating to each other and trouble being kind to each other, but the disagreement over kids was the nail in the coffin.”
