In her lengthy post shared with her 280,000 followers last Wednesday, Summer explained that she had stepped back from public appearances and social media updates over the past three months to travel back and forth between her family’s home in rural Tennessee and the Nashville residence she shared with Jon, to support her father through his initial rounds of chemotherapy and surgical consultations. She noted that the unexpected diagnosis hit her family extremely hard, as her father had no prior history of major health issues and had skipped his annual routine health screenings for three consecutive years due to work commitments. Summer also addressed the widespread speculation about her marriage to Jon that had circulated on country music fan forums and celebrity gossip pages for months, confirming that the couple had been attending couples therapy for nearly six months to work through irreconcilable differences related to their conflicting career schedules and parenting priorities, but ultimately made the mutual decision to end their 4-year marriage. She emphasized that the divorce is completely amicable, with no third-party involvement or contentious disputes over assets, and that the pair have already signed a formal co-parenting agreement for their 2-year-old daughter Presley, who will split time equally between both parents’ homes in Nashville. Jon Pardi released a separate statement through his publicist 24 hours after Summer’s post, echoing her comments about the amicable split, adding that he has reached out to Summer’s family to offer support for her father’s treatment and will be covering all out-of-pocket medical expenses for his father-in-law’s cancer care as a show of respect for the family he was once part of. Summer closed her post by asking fans and media outlets to respect her family’s privacy during this difficult time, noting that she will not be doing any press interviews related to either the divorce or her father’s diagnosis for the foreseeable future, and will only share updates on her father’s treatment progress if she feels comfortable doing so.
