When it comes to Miranda Lambert’s thoughts on Gwen Stefani, she prefers to keep them under wraps. Despite the public attention surrounding her divorce from Blake Shelton and his subsequent relationship with Stefani, Lambert has chosen to focus on her own life and work rather than openly addressing the past.
Many have interpreted Lambert’s music, particularly her 2016 album “The Weight of These Wings,” as a way for her to process her emotions and experiences during and after her marriage to Shelton. While there have been rumors of animosity and competition between Lambert and Stefani, the two have mostly kept their interactions and true feelings private.
A Glimpse into the Relationship of Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton
Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton were once a strong couple in the music industry. They met in 2005, got engaged in 2010, and tied the knot the following year. However, their marriage faced difficulties and rumors of conflict, including allegations of infidelity.
In July 2015, Lambert and Shelton announced their divorce, stating, “This is not the future we envisioned, and it is with a heavy heart that we move forward separately.” Shelton quickly moved on and began dating his fellow The Voice judge, Gwen Stefani, who had also recently gone through a divorce.
Given how swiftly Shelton moved on, people speculated about Lambert’s feelings toward her ex-husband and his new wife. Let’s take a closer look at what we know.
The Speculations and Truth behind Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani’s Relationship
There have been speculations that Shelton and Stefani’s relationship may have started before his divorce from Lambert. Shelton and Stefani worked closely together on The Voice during his marriage. Despite the rumors, both Shelton and Lambert have denied any infidelity.
Some reports suggested that the couple couldn’t agree on having children. In 2015, a source revealed, “Blake is eager to have children, but she [Lambert] really enjoys not being tied down.” It’s possible that their differing desires for starting a family played a role in their separation.
Conversely, it was also reported that Shelton suspected Lambert of seeing someone else.
Miranda Lambert’s Initial Thoughts and Reactions
Lambert may have suspected Shelton’s feelings for Stefani before their marriage officially ended. According to a source, “Miranda believes something’s been going on between these two for a lot longer than they’re letting on.” Another source revealed that Lambert wasn’t surprised when Shelton and Stefani got together, noting their flirtatious behavior. It seems that Lambert and Shelton were already facing difficulties, and the eventual outcome was not unexpected.
Reports from 2017 suggested that there were lingering bitter feelings between Lambert and Shelton. Lambert was blindsided by their divorce, and there seemed to be unresolved anger between them. Furthermore, Lambert was hurt by how quickly Shelton publicly moved on with Stefani.
Miranda Lambert’s Peaceful Perspective
While it remains unclear whether Shelton and Stefani’s romance began before or after his divorce from Lambert, it’s understandable that Lambert would be bothered by how swiftly he moved on. Despite this, reports indicate that Lambert holds no negative feelings towards Stefani.
In fact, Lambert and Stefani have mutual respect for each other’s music and talent. They are fans of each other and have a positive view of one another. Lambert has always regarded Stefani highly and appreciates her talent, just as Stefani feels the same way about Lambert. Both women support each other’s happiness and actively avoid unnecessary drama.
It’s important to note that Lambert has also moved on since her divorce. She remarried New York City Police Department Officer Brendan McLoughlin in 2019 and appears to be happily married. Lambert’s focus is on her own happiness and career, and she wishes Stefani the best in her personal and professional life.
