ABC features Ben Zobrist and Julianna Zobrist on "Celebrity Love Stories" on March 7, 2017. | Screenshot: ABC/Celebrity Love Stories Christian pop singer Julianna Zobrist has publicly addressed claims made by her estranged husband, former MLB player Ben Zobrist, that alleges she had an extramarital affair with the couple's former Tennessee pastor, who also served as their marriage counselor. In an Instagram post shared on Tuesday, Zobrist thanked those who've stuck by her side following the recent allegations made against her and throughout the past two years since the couple filed for divorce. “There have been many ugly accusations made about me publicly in recent days,” the progressive author and artist wrote. “And this has created an expectation that I should respond by defending myself — and maybe even offering a few ugly accusations in return. Isn’t that how these kinds of things always play out?”
