Fact Check: Who Is Jessica Ussery’s Husband? Debunking Rumors Surrounding Jason Aldean’s Ex
By Marcus Vance
The couple’s public image shattered in September 2012. Paparazzi captured photographs of Aldean acting intimately with Brittany Kerr, a former American Idol contestant and Charlotte Bobcats cheerleader, inside The Attic, a crowded rooftop lounge in West Hollywood.
The images spread across global entertainment outlets within hours. Aldean issued a public apology acknowledging that he had "screwed up" and acted inappropriately after drinking too much. The couple initially attempted reconciliation, walking the red carpet together at the 2012 CMT Artists of the Year gala two months later. The damage, however, proved fatal to the marriage.
Aldean formally filed for divorce in Williamson County, Tennessee, on April 26, 2013, citing irreconcilable differences. The filing marked the official collapse of a relationship that had spanned two decades from high school sweethearts to arena headliners. Aldean publicly confirmed his romantic relationship with Kerr in March 2014, eventually marrying her in March 2015.
