Morgan Evans and Kelsea Ballerini called it quits last year, and for the most part, people only heard it from the country star's point of view.
However, Evans is stepping out of the shadows to express what he went through in the past couple of months.
"Everything's blowing up, destroyed in his life," said John Evans, the singer's father. "I think he needed to come home and feel like he's a special person and everyone loves him."
According to Fox News, the singer returned to Australia to lick his wounds after his nasty and highly-publicized divorce from Ballerini.
Evans' mother also noted how the singer had to come home to put himself in a better place mentally and emotionally.
"It's your family and those people who love you, regardless of who you are or how well you're performing."
This revelation comes after the release of Evan's five-part docuseries about his divorce and life, "Over for You."
The docuseries was released alongside a single with the same title, and it focuses on his personal life and feelings.
"'Over for You' is me singing about my feelings," the 37-year-old singer explained. "This song is the most personal thing I've ever written and the most personal thing I've ever shared.
"It's the only song I've written since going through all the s**t, so it felt like channeling all this awfulness into something honest."
Evan's father echoed his sentiments and supported the move: "I think it's a reset for him to work out what's actually important to him. I think that's one of the things that's going on with him to just remember what he wants, what he values."
Ballerini V. Evans
It is clear that both singers went through a rough patch during and after the divorce.
Evans admitted that the docuseries was not actually supposed to be about his divorce, but rather his music career.
"The whole idea was to document the biggest show of my career, playing the CMC Rocks Festival in Australia and headlining it. The original focus was on the music and coming home, and that's what it's about.
"But it's not like I could pretend like something wasn't going on. That's the journey of what happened in that moment of my life," he continued.
On the other hand, Ballerini has also shared her account of the divorce through various means.
The singer has opened up about it during her "Call Her Daddy" podcast and indirectly through her newly released album "Rolling Up the Welcome Mat."
