John Russell/CMAJake Owen and his wife, Lacey Buchanan, are the latest country couple to call it quits: they're splitting after three years of marriage. They have a daughter, Pearl, who was born in November 2012. Jake released a statement via Twitter Friday calling the split "the hardest thing I've ever done in my life."
He says, "I wanted to let my fans know how much I've appreciated their support of not only my career, but my family as a whole. Sadly, Lacey and I have decided to end our marriage. We want to focus on our daughter Pearl and make sure that she has a beautiful life with loving parents."
