Jason Aldean Dating Brittany Kerr After Cheating Photos Scandal: Did American Idol Contestant Cause ‘Night Train’ Singer’s Divorce From Wife Jessica Aldean Of 12 Years?

It's official: Jason Aldean is dating Brittany Kerr, the American Idol contestant that he was caught making out with in a bar in cheating photos. Since then, Jason Aldean has divorced his wife of 12 years, Jessica Aldean. Did Brittany Kerr cause Jason Aldean's divorce?

Jason Aldean, 37, is officially dating "American Idol" star Brittany Kerr, 26, the woman he was controversially caught kissing in cheating photos from September 2012, Fox News reports.

At the time, then-married Aldean apologized to his fans on his official Facebook page: "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," Aldean wrote in October 2012. "I ultimately ended up embarrassing my family and myself. I'm not perfect, and I'm sorry for disappointing you guys."

But in May, Aldean filed for divorce from his wife of 12 years, Jessica Aldean, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the cause.

But was the real reason behind Jason and Jessica Aldean's divorce the "American Idol" singer Brittany Kerr?

Brittany Kerr was photographed backstage in the wings of Aldean's concert Friday night, March 14, at the Amphitheater at The Wharf in Orange Beach, Ala. TMZ has confirmed that they are dating. One must ask: have they been dating since those photos surfaced in September?

It's hard to say for sure, but it doesn't seem too far-fetched to believe that they have been connected since those cheating photos.

Aldean and his ex-wife Jessica met while in school in Macon, Ga. They have two young daughters together.

"This is a really tough time for my entire family," Aldean told Us Weekly in a statement at the time of their divorce. "Jessica and I have been together since we were teenagers. We've been through a lot of ups and downs over the years as we grew up together as a couple. She will always be important to me because she is the mother of my children, and I know that we will both always make our daughters our No. 1 priority."
