Country singer Kacey Musgraves appears to go Instagram official with new man Dr. Gerald Onuoha

Country music superstar Kacey Musgraves seems ready to let the world know about the new man in her life, Dr. Gerald Onuoha.

The Slow Burn singer decided to share a sweet selfie of the duo on Instagram on Monday, after they’d been spotted embracing each other the day before in Los Angeles.

Kacey, 32, and Gerald cuddled up for a cozy snap with blue skies and greenery in the background, which she tagged him in.

Dr. Onuhoa practices internal medicine at HCA Healthcare in Nashville, which Kacey visits pretty often thanks to her work as country star.

Fans first started to suspect a romance when Gerald was spotted on her Instagram at the start of the month.

However, we still don’t know exactly how long the pair have been hanging out together.

He’s the first man the High Horse singer has been publicly linked to since she announced that she and her ex-husband, musician Ruston Kelly, filed for divorce in July 2020.

The couple – who finalized their divorce in September – remain friendly and have both Musgraves and Kelly shared messages supporting one another since their split.

After their two-and-a-half year marriage, they announced their split in a statement in July 2020: We’ve made this painful decision together. With heavy but hopeful hearts we wanted to put our own thoughts into the air about what’s happening.

These kinds of announcements are always met with scrutiny and speculation and we want to stop that before it even starts.

‘We believe that we were put into each other’s lives for a divine reason and have both changed each other infinitely for the better. The love we have for each other goes far beyond the relationship we’ve shared as husband and wife. It’s a soul connection that can never be erased.’

Kacey and Ruston, who met in 2016 before marrying the following year, continued: ‘We’ve made this painful decision together – a healthy decision that comes after a very long period of trying the best we can. It simply just didn’t work.

‘Though we are parting ways in marriage, we will remain true friends for the rest of our lives. We hold no blame, anger, or contempt for each other and we ask for privacy and positive wishes for us both as we learn how to navigate through this.’
