When Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert tied the knot, country music fans around the world were overjoyed. They were considered a royal couple in the country music scene, and their love story seemed like something out of a fairytale.
However, their marriage took an unexpected turn when they announced their divorce. This news left a lot of people heartbroken and curious about what led to this drastic decision.
After their divorce, Miranda Lambert chose to remain relatively quiet about the whole ordeal. She refrained from making any comments or stirring up controversy. Instead, she focused on her music and used it as a platform to express herself.
Speaking to CBS News, Lambert discussed the intense media and public scrutiny she experienced following her divorce. She admitted that she wasn’t prepared for it, but she believed in taking it with a grain of salt. As a singer-songwriter, she found solace in being able to tell her truth through her music, promising that she would never lie in her songs.
The couple, who had been married for five years, finally decided to call it quits in 2015. Soon after their divorce, both Lambert and Shelton moved on and started dating other people. Lambert found love again and married Brendan McLoughlin in 2019, while Shelton tied the knot with his fellow “The Voice” coach, Gwen Stefani.
When the couple announced their divorce, it came as a shock to everyone. In a joint statement, they expressed that the future they had envisioned together was not meant to be. They asked for privacy and compassion during this personal and difficult time.
Lambert first met Shelton onstage during the CMT’s 100 Greatest Duets Concert in 2005. At that time, Shelton was still married to Kaynette Gern. Lambert later revealed that there was an instant connection between them, describing it as a draw towards each other that she couldn’t explain.
Before their split, Lambert often spoke about her relationship with Shelton to the press. She emphasized that she wasn’t always sunshine and roses, but Shelton brought happiness into her life. She appreciated how he could pull her out of darkness and make everything feel like the best part of being married.
Lambert’s current husband, Brendan McLoughlin, entered her life unexpectedly. He was working as a security officer for ABC’s Good Morning America when Lambert was performing. The members of Lambert’s band, the Pistol Annies, played matchmakers and introduced the two. Three months after their first meeting, Lambert and McLoughlin secretly tied the knot. Lambert revealed the news on social media, expressing her happiness and gratitude.
The reason Lambert kept her wedding to McLoughlin a secret was because her previous marriage to Shelton had been a public spectacle. She learned from that experience that her personal life should be kept private. With McLoughlin, she made a deliberate decision to protect their privacy for as long as possible.
Both Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton are doing well after their divorce from each other. They have found love and happiness in their respective relationships, and they continue to pursue their passion for music. Their divorce serves as a reminder that even in the glamorous world of country music, real people face real challenges, and they deserve privacy and understanding during difficult times.
