Morgan Evans and Laci Kaye Booth Make Red Carpet Debut at the CMA Awards Three Years After Split from Kelsea Ballerini

Morgan Evans and Laci Kaye Booth Hit the CMA Awards Red Carpet

Morgan Evans and his girlfriend Laci Kaye Booth stepped out together for the first time on the CMA Awards red carpet, signaling a new chapter in both of their lives.

Nearly three years have passed since Evans and Kelsea Ballerini finalized their divorce, but the evening still highlighted how their separate paths are evolving in the country music scene.

Outfits of the night

Evans wore a white silk shirt with black trousers and a leather jacket, leaving the top three buttons undone to reveal a black beaded necklace.

Booth, who first publicly introduced the romance in May during a festival performance, chose a red lace gown with a high slit and fingerless gloves, complemented by diamond jewelry and long red curls.

Moments on the carpet

The couple shared a kiss on the velvet carpet, signaling a relaxed public debut.

Exes in attendance

Kelsea Ballerini appeared at the ceremony as a nominee for Female Vocalist of the Year. The exes have since moved on in their dating lives, with Kelsea linked to actor Chase Stokes while Evans focuses on his relationship with Booth.

In discussions surrounding the split, Kelsea described a candid conversation that led to the decision to part ways, emphasizing mutual respect and the desire to honor the good parts of their marriage; she added that she and Evans have not spoken since the public split announcement.
