It's usually easy to spot the end of a Hollywood romance before it even happens, but Ryan Bingham and Anna Axster's divorce was one many didn't see coming. Though the former couple was always relatively private in regards to their union, it comes as a shock that they called it quits. Just a year before Bingham filed for legal dissolution in June 2021 (via The Blast), the "Southside of Heaven" crooner doted over his wife in an interview with Texas Highways.

Speaking with the outlet in May 2020, Bingham said he never felt as "whole" as he did since meeting Axster. "Having children will do that for you. When I met my wife, we were both vagabonds, just roaming around the country," he shared. "Then we got a place in L.A., and it was the first time I ever had my name on a lease. That was big to me. When we got the keys and went inside, I just cried. I felt secure ... finally."

Bingham and Axster wed in 2009 and became the parents of their three kids in the years following (via Express). They later started their own label together, Axster Bingham Records, in 2012, which the singer juggled while rising to fame as an actor. Considering Bingham had his hands full with his many responsibilities, he credited Axster with being his "biggest supporter" during an interview with The Great Discontent (via Extra).
