Florida Georgia Line is still together but they did need a break from each other during election
The musicians caused a stir online after briefly unfollowing each other on social media
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Despite recent rumors, bandmates Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley confirmed that Florida Georgia Line isn't breaking up.
The musicians also addressed the reason why they briefly unfollowed each other on social media, which had fans speculating about a rift between the two of them.
During an interview with SiriusXM’s Exit 209 with Storme Warren, Hubbard and Kelley cited the 2020 presidential election as the issue why they had to take some space from each other.

Kelley and Hubbard differ in their political views. Kelley is more conservative while Hubbard is more liberal but the two asserted they are no harsh words or feelings between them.

"I even called [Kelley] and told him, I said, ‘Hey, buddy, I love you. And I love you a lot more in real life than on your [Instagram] Stories right now. So I'm just going to — so that's why I'm unfollowing you. Nothing personal. I still love you. You're still my brother,'" Hubbard added. "I just didn't want to see it every time I opened Instagram. And so it wasn't a big deal."
The artists agreed right now they're "on great terms" and "feeling stronger than ever."

In fact, their relationship means so much to them, they've even attended therapy together.

"We've sat with each other and wanted to kill each other at times. But by the end of it, we were hugging it out," Hubbard described. "Because we're brothers, and that's what brothers do. And brothers don't always get along."
