‘We want to make sure that our truth is out there for you guys and our genuine excitement and support of each other for the next chapter of our career, of our music, of our journey,’ Hubbard, 33, shared in the video they teamed the country music duo up via Zoom.
Hubbard is about to release a Undivided, a collaboration with country music star Tim McGraw, while Kelley started working on a solo album this past summer.
Kelley, 35, explained: ‘I did a lot of soul-searching, man…. I took some time off of writing songs and just didn’t know I was searching for… kind of where I landed was falling in love with my guitar and writing more than ever.’

The video comes a couple of months after Hubbard ‘unfollowed’ Kelley on Instagram due to their different politics in the run-up to the presidential election in November.
That action caused fans to fear the duo had broken up.
But Hubbard cleared the air explaining: ‘I unfollowed BK for a few days while we were in the middle of this election and everything going on. And, and I even called him and told him, I said, ‘Hey buddy, I love you. And I love you a lot more in real life than on your Stories right now. That’s why I’m unfollowing you. Nothing personal. I still love you. You’re still my brother.’
Hitmakers: After a decade of making music together, Hubbard and Kelly described the next stage as: ‘We’re not breaking up. We’re just venturing out’
