Maren Morris and Ryan Hurd surprised a lot of people with their divorce announcement this week. So, someone put together this list: Here are 10 more country break-ups people never saw coming:

1. Carly Pearce and Michael Ray. They got married in late 2019 and split up eight months later. It was at the height of the pandemic, but they claimed it WASN'T because they spent too much time together in quarantine.

2. Kelsea Ballerini and Morgan Evans. They announced their divorce in August 2022 after almost five years of marriage.

3. Reba McEntire and her band-member-turned-manager Narvel Blackstock. They got married in 1989 and split up in 2015. She's with actor Rex Linn now.

4. Trace Adkins and his ex-wife Rhonda. They got married in 1997. She filed for divorce in 2014.

5. Lauren Alaina and Alex Hopkins. They'd been together six years when they got married in 2018. They called it quits six months later.

6. Garth Brooks and Sandy Mahl. They'd been married 14 years when they got divorced in 2000. He married Trisha Yearwood in 2005.

7. Trisha Yearwood and Robert Reynolds. They got married in 1994, and divorced in 1999. The tabloids were already linking her to Garth back then, but they weren't officially a couple until 2002.

8. George Jones and Tammy Wynette. They were married from 1969 to 1975 and had an ugly divorce. But they still ended up touring together in the '90s.

9. Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert. Shocking because it was already a done deal. They announced it hours after the divorce was finalized.

10. Kenny Chesney and Renee Zellweger. Shocking because of how fast it all happened. They met in January 2005 . . . got married that May . . . and had it annulled that September, four months later.
