SAM HUNT and his wife Hannah Lee are NOT splitting up. According to TMZ, Hannah asked the court to dismiss the divorce case last month, and a judge signed off on it. To refresh your memory. And mine. She filed for divorce in February on grounds of “adultery” and “inappropriate marital conduct.” Days later she withdrew the papers . . . and then about a minute after that she refiled them in a different court. But this time we’re talking about an actual reconciliation. People have seen them walking their dog in Franklin, Tennessee . . . and Sam was spotted wearing his wedding ring last week on stage in Florida. TMZ reached out to both of their reps, but haven’t heard back. Hannah is due to give birth to their first child, a baby girl, later this month.
