The Grammy winner announced his split from Bunnie, 46, in May. The couple tied the knot in 2016, with the podcaster also helping to raise his two children from previous relationships.

He further discussed in his vlog how his eating behavior doesn't change when it comes to healthier foods like fruit.
The country music singer said a cheat meal 'might be a five-day food bender for me.'
"If you put a big bowl of strawberries in front of me and leave me alone, I will eat the entire bowl of strawberries," he confessed. "I got to take a few strawberries and be like, 'Put the bowl away.' Or just not eat the strawberry at all."
"I'm like that with alcohol," he sighed. "I’ve never done 'a shot.' I've never done 'a line' of cocaine. I’ve never smoked 'a joint.' Either we’re smoking all day, we’re drinking all night, we're doing coke."
"People are like, 'Oh, you can have one for a cheat meal,'" the musician added. "I was like, 'You can have one for a cheat meal. I can’t.' 'Cause it might be a five-day food bender for me."
