Jason Aldean dating Brittany Kerr, the other woman from his extramarital affair

From serious consequences to a serious relationship: Jason Aldean and Brittany Kerr are officially dating.

Their extramarital relationship was first exposed in September 2012 when they were photographed kissing at a bar. At the time, Jason was married to his high-school sweetheart, Jessica Ussery.

Jason quickly addressed the incident with a message to fans.

“The truth is that I screwed up. I had too much to drink, let the party get out of hand and acted inappropriately at a bar,” he said at the time. “I left alone, caught the bus to our next show and that’s the end of the story.”

But, apparently, that wasn’t the end of the story.

Although Jason and Jessica gave their relationship another shot for the sake of their two daughters, they ultimately split in April 2013. Around the same time, Brittany’s mom said her daughter wasn’t responsible for Jason’s divorce.

“As her mom I would know,” Debbie Kerr said in April. “She doesn’t even live in L.A. anymore, she lives right here in town. Brittany is single right now, but she was never with that married man.”

Jason kept mum on the topic until November 2013.

“You know, obviously there were things going on in my marriage at the time where it just wasn’t really happy,” Jason said of the kissing scandal. “You go out and you kind of let your guard down a little bit and things happen, and unfortunately… It’s tough.”

Based on that timeline, it seemed like Jason and Brittany went their separate ways after the September 2012 bar encounter. But, after she was pictured backstage at his show last weekend, Jason’s rep was forced to confirm to E! News that the pair is together. (Whether they were ever truly apart is another question…)

One thing that is clear: With such a dubious relationship foundation, Brittany seems wise to keep a close eye on her new man.
