Country singer Jason Aldean and his wife Jessica Ussery have split, according to reports. The breakup news come months after Aldean was caught kissing former NBA cheerleader Brittany Kerr at a bar in California in October.

Aldean and his high school sweetheart split back in January, according to a report by Us Weekly. The couple was last seen together at the 2013 People's Choice Awards in Los Angeles in January 9.

"There were obvious problems before the bar kiss, but he finally left earlier this year," a source told the magazine.

A rep for Aldean confirmed the report. "I can confirm that Jason and his wife are having problems, but there is nothing more to share 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 news are likely to come as a shock to his fans who despite the backlash supported the singer and encouraged him to reconcile with his wife back in October when the scandal broke.

"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," Aldean said at the time. "I ultimately ended up embarrassing my family and myself. I'm not perfect, and I'm sorry for disappointing you guys."
