Country music star Kelsea Ballerini and her Australian singer-songwriter beau Morgan Evans are now married! The musical pair exchanged vows in beautiful Cabo San Lucas, Mexico on Saturday, December 2nd.
“With our careers, we get to do what we love, then we get to find time to be with who we love. I think that makes for a really full life — when you can do everything that you want, and then share it with someone,” Ballerini shared with PEOPLE.
“In the lead-up to a wedding, you ask a lot of your married friends — especially people that are in similar situations or similar age — ‘Does anything change or is it just the same but a little more awesome?’ Everyone keeps telling us, ‘Ah, it gets better,’” Evans candidly added. “And so whatever that means, I’m looking forward to that, and it’s gonna be fun.”
The couple first met in Australia when they co-hosted the CMC Awards, a country music awards show, together. After a whirlwind nine months of dating, Kelsea and Morgan got engaged last Christmas.
On November 3rd, Ballerini released her sophomore album, Unapologetically, which was largely inspired by their love story. As expected, the newlyweds are planning to take the rest of 2017 off, but fans can catch the new Mrs. Evans on the road in 2018 on her headlining Unapologetically Tour with Walker Hayes and Bailey Bryan as special guests.

“Unapologetically” Lyrics
They’re gonna say I fell too fast
They’re gonna say it’s never gonna last
And before it’s too late I should just back away
Yeah, they’re gonna say that
He ain’t the kind to hold my hand
He ain’t gonna try to understand
Nothing under the surface
He’s just looking for a pretty face
But they got it all wrong
And I got it all right
They say they just don’t see it
But I saw it at first sight
And I’m unapologetically in love
And I’m so unapologetically in love
No matter where it takes me
Even if it breaks me
I’m unapologetically all in
From the second that I started falling
And it don’t even phase me
When they call me crazy
I’m unapologetically in love
I’m unapologetically in love
So I could care less if I’m being careless
Might wreck me to be reckless
But I’d rather fall apart than
Love half-hearted
Yeah, maybe it’s true that you know when you know
And then again maybe you don’t
But when you find a diamond
You can’t keep it from shining
And I’m unapologetically in love
And I’m so unapologetically in love
No matter where it takes me
Even if it breaks me
I’m unapologetically all in
From the second that I started falling
And it don’t even phase me
When they call me crazy
I’m unapologetically in love
I’m unapologetically in love
The life of my party
He keeps my eyes starry so
I’m so sorry for not being sorry
I’m unapologetically in love
I’m unapologetically in love
I’m unapologetically in love
And I’m so unapologetically in love
No matter where it takes me
Even if it breaks me
I’m unapologetically all in
From the second that I started falling
And it don’t even phase me
When they call me crazy
I’m unapologetically in love
I’m unapologetically in love
And they’re gonna say I fell too fast
Yeah, they’re gonna say it’s never gonna last
Unapologetically
