Singer Sam Hunt accused of adultery by pregnant wife - who then backtracks

Country inger Sam Hunt’s wife alleged he was “guilty of adultery” - but just hours later she withdrew her divorce filings.

UPDATE: Sam Hunt’s estranged wife Hannah Lee Fowler withdrew her divorce petition against the country music star the same day she filed it.

Per Us Weekly, Fowler reversed course Friday in Tennesse courts, though the outlet did not obtain the docs until Tuesday. In what seems like a candidate for some kind of record, Fowler filed her initial complaint at 11:43 a.m., only to then submit a Notice of Voluntary Nonsuit less than three hours later, at 2:13 p.m. Our earlier story is below:

The wife of country singer Sam Hunt has filed for divorce from the star, revealing in court documents that she is heavily pregnant and accusing her husband of cheating on her.

Hannah Lee Fowler filed for divorce in Tennessee on Friday, after nearly five years of marriage.

The Alabama-born nurse revealed in the court documents, obtained by TMZ, that she is due to give birth in May. It was not publicly known that the pair were expecting their first child.

In the documents, Ms Fowler alleged that Hunt, 37, is “guilty of inappropriate marital conduct” and “guilty of adultery”.

The court documents also state: “The husband is guilty of such cruel and inhuman treatment or conduct toward the spouse as renders cohabitation unsafe or improper.”

Hunt’s representatives did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.

Fowler is seeking child support and primary custody of their unborn child, their “respective separate property” and three different kinds of alimony, including “transitional alimony, rehabilitative alimony, and alimony in future,” according to the documents.

The last time the musician posted about his now-estranged wife on Instagram was in April 2021 for their fourth wedding anniversary.

He captioned a slide show that featured a throwback pic of Fowler kissing him and a more current picture of the pair laughing, saying, “How it started. How it’s going. Happy anniversary!”

In July, Hunt told a Miami radio station that he and Fowler were considering having kids.

“[We’ve] really started to think about it seriously here these past few months, so that’s on the agenda right now,” he said. “I’m hoping we’ll have some good news sooner [rather] than later.”

Hunt and Fowler were married in 2017. They met in Alabama, when Hunt was a linebacker for the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
