Jason Aldean’s Cheating Scandal With Brittany Kerr
The scandal that ended Aldean’s first marriage was when pictures of Jason kissing Brittany in a club that was made public. When the images were released in 2012, Jason almost immediately acknowledged them.
At the time, Brittany also addressed the images, apologizing to everyone who had been affected by the situation. Even though they apologized, Aldean’s first wife filed for divorce after seven months after the pictures were made public; she felt betrayed by him as he cheated on her with another woman.
Later Aldean and Kerr started dating, and in 2014, they officially announced their engagement and married on March 21, 2015. The couple is blessed with two kids, a son, and a daughter.

Aldean started performing the songs that would end up on his debut album in 1998. Following a performance in Atlanta, he was approached by a producer from the record company Warner Chappel Music and offered the opportunity to sign a record deal.
He moved to Nashville, Tennessee, after signing in late 1998. He then signed a contract with another music label, which later released him. After four unsuccessful years in Nashville, he was ready to move back to Georgia in 2004 but gave himself another six months to try to sign with a record label.
A few months later, he received a contract offer from Broken Arrow Records. In July 2005, he released his self-titled debut album.
His second album, Relentless, dropped in the spring of 2007 and debuted at number four on the Billboard album charts. He released the single She’s County in December 2008, and his third album, Wide Open, came out in April of the following year.
Although Old Boots, New Dirt, his 2014 album, received mixed reviews from critics, it was awarded platinum certification the same year it was released. In September 2016, Aldean released his seventh album, They Don’t Know, which debuted at the top of the Billboard album chart.
