SAM HUNT and his wife Hannah Lee are getting divorced after almost five years of marriage. She filed the papers on Friday . . . and in the court documents revealed that she’s pregnant with their first child. She’s due in May. They never went public with the pregnancy, and this may be why. She’s accusing him of “inappropriate marital conduct” and “adultery.” The documents also state that she “believes all hopes of reconciliation are exhausted.” She’s asking for alimony, child support, and primary custody of the baby. The couple started dating in 2008, and had an on-and-off relationship that inspired his 2014 album, “Montevallo”, which is named after Hannah’s Alabama hometown. He famously made seven trips to Hawaii to lock her down permanently. They were married in 2017. Neither side is commenting.
