Nashville-based Aussie country music singer Morgan Evans and his on and off stage partner Laci Kaye Booth have touched down on home soil, managing to avoid being photographed together as they made their way through the airport terminal.
The Kiss Somebody hit maker kept things low key as he arrived in Sydney in a pair of faded jeans and a blue plaid shirt paired with a baseball cap.
He wheeled his luggage through the arrivals gate first, with Laci following separately a few moments later.
She, too, did her best to keep a low profile, dressing casually in flared leggings and a long-sleeved top with a jacket tied around her waist.
She carried the ultimate travel essentials – headphones resting around her neck and a thick book in her hands – but a cheeky smile gave her away, hinting that she had a travelling partner.
The real-life couple – who released their emotional duet Two Broken Hearts earlier this year – are currently touring Australia together as part of Evans’ Steel Town run, with Laci joining as special guest.
Morgan shot to fame in 2014 with his debut self-titled album, with his string of EPs and singers amassing more than 800 million streams.
His very public split from wife and fellow country singer/songwriter Kelsea Ballerini quickly spiralled into one of Nashville’s wildest divorces. The fallout was heavily documented, culminating in him releasing a deeply personal online docuseries tracking the creation of his heartbreak anthem, Over For You.
During that time, the singer endured intense online bullying, ultimately taking a hit on his career and mental health.
Back in March, the Newcastle-born musician opened up about receiving hateful comments online following his divorce.
“I’ve never done it and I can’t imagine what kind of space you would have to be in to get online and want to write something about somebody like that,” he said on Bobby Bones’ podcast, The BobbyCast.
“Every now and then, I would see one – especially if it was real vicious or something – and then I’d click on whoever said it and just have a look and just be like, ‘Oh, yeah it’s OK’.
“That looks like somebody going through a tough time.”
