Singing the blues. Carly Pearce and Riley King have called it quits after two years together.“Things didn’t work out,” King, 29, told Page Six on Wednesday, June 7. “Carly and I have parted ways and I wish her nothing but the best in both her career and personal life.”Pearce, for her part, has yet to publicly comment on the breakup.

However, the Grammy winner, 33, hinted at a rocky relationship on Monday, June 5, while promoting her latest collaboration track, “We Don’t Fight Anymore,” which features Chris Stapleton.“This song embodies a place that I think, if we are honest with ourselves, we’ve all felt at some point in a relationship.

The distance that feels heartbreaking, yet you’re also indifferent,” Pearce wrote via Instagram at the time. “I’ve always been a writer who never wanted to shy away from the ‘uncomfortable’ moments in all of our lives, and this song feels too important not to share.”The Kentucky native didn’t reveal which of her relationships served as the track’s inspiration, but the announcement came just weeks after eagle-eyed fans noticed a lack of social media interaction between Pearce and King.In February, the “What He Didn’t Do” artist showed King support via Instagram after he won “Rookie of the Year” at his real estate group.

The Montana native, for his part, last commented on one of Pearce’s pictures on May 16, joking that her dog “needs a margarita” while the singer floated with her pooch in the pool.The “Never Wanted to Be That Girl” singer and the former MLB player were first linked in May 2021 after the musician shared a picture of King via her Instagram Stories.
