Jake Owen isn't afraid to talk about it. He's been talking about the tough times he was having with his wife for months leading up to their divorce early this month.

He was covering Garth Brooks' 'The Dance', and he took a minute to talk about his divorce.

I’ll just say this real quick. I think maybe a lot of people would maybe shy away from it, but I’ve been going through some weird stuff. My wife and I are getting a divorce. And this is probably the hardest shit I’ve ever done in my life — to walk onstage every night and try to pretend like everything is awesome when it really ain’t always awesome. You have no idea how much you guys lift me up every single night. And I love my wife more than anything in the world, and I love my little baby girl Pearl more than anything in the world, and if it wasn’t for both of them, I wouldn’t even be here right now a happy man. That’s a dance I’m glad I got to dance, and I’m glad you guys got to sing it with me tonight.”
