Jason Aldean has admitted to cheating on his wife after photos emerged showing him cuddling up and kissing former American Idol star Brittany Kerr at the weekend.

The pair met at The Den in California and were seen holding one another and whispering into each others ears looking too close for a married father of two. Aldean is married to his high school sweetheart Jessica Ussery, who no doubt will be furious with her husband.

Over the weekend the photos emerged seemingly showing him cuddling up to and kissing the American Idol contestant. The photos caused a huge stir and by Sunday Aldean was already in damage control mode and issued an apology for cheating on his wife and family. He attempted to give as an explanation that he had simply had too much to drink.

Aldean posted on his Facebook page: "I wanted to talk to you directly, so you were hearing the truth from me and not just reading allegations made about my personal life on gossip web sites.

“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 ultimately ended up embarrassing my family and myself. I'm not perfect, and I'm sorry for disappointing you guys," he wrote.

"I really appreciate being able to work through this privately with my family and for all your continued support."

Kerr previously appeared on Season 11 of American Idol.

By Monday morning about 30,000 responses to Aldean's apology had been posted, some rebuking the singer, where as others attempted to show support and commend him for coming clean rather than lying.
