Jason Aldean and his wife Jessica Ussery are not ready to announce a split BUT his publicist acknowledges that there are marital issues.
The rep said, “I can confirm that Jason and his wife are having problems, but there is nothing more to share with the press at this time. It’s a private family matter, and we hope everyone will respect that he would like to keep it that way.”
The country crooner appeared to have narrowly escaped the big D last September after he was caught making out with ‘American Idol’ contestant Brittany Kerr at a bar.
Afterward he acknowledged, “The truth is that I screwed up. I had too much to drink, let the party get out of hand and acted inappropriately at a bar. I’m not perfect, and I’m sorry for disappointing you guys.”
In November he told a CBS reporter, “I think we’re fine. I think anytime you go through anything like that–I mean, it’s tough. We’ve been together for a long time and through a lot of things together. Those are things that most people get to deal with in private, but we didn’t have the luxury of doing that.”
The couple were high school sweethearts who wed in 2001. Their daughters are Keely, 10, and Kendyl, 5.
