When Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert said their vows, country music fans around the world rejoiced. They were the ultimate power couple in the country music scene. But as life often goes, their marriage didn’t last, and they announced their divorce, leaving many people heartbroken and searching for answers. In this article, we’ll dive into the details of their divorce and Miranda Lambert’s thoughts on the matter.
Silence Speaks Volumes
After her divorce from Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert chose to remain relatively quiet about the whole ordeal. She didn’t make any public statements or stir up any unnecessary controversy. However, in a recent interview with CBS News, she opened up about the intense media and public scrutiny that followed her divorce. Lambert admitted, “I wasn’t prepared for that. I don’t think anybody is. And it’s not nice sometimes, but I think you’ve got to take it with a grain of salt.”
Honesty Through Songwriting
As a singer-songwriter, Miranda Lambert found solace in her music during challenging times. She shared, “I’m a singer-songwriter, so luckily I can tell my whole truth. I will not lie in my music.” Through her heartfelt lyrics, Lambert has always managed to convey her emotions authentically, allowing her fans to connect and resonate with her on a deeper level.
Moving Forward
Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert were married for five years before deciding to end their marriage in 2015. Both parties found new love soon after. Lambert tied the knot with Brendan McLoughlin in 2019, while Shelton married fellow The Voice singer Gwen Stefani.
When announcing their divorce, the couple released a joint statement, expressing, “This is not the future we envisioned, and it is with heavy hearts that we move forward separately.” They emphasized their shared humanity, requesting privacy and compassion during this difficult time.
The Beginnings of Love
Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton’s love story began when they met onstage during the CMT’s 100 Greatest Duets Concert in 2005. At the time, Shelton was still married to Kaynette Gern. Lambert once revealed in an interview, “I didn’t know if it was just initial butterflies… I don’t know what it was. It was just this draw to each other.”
Before their split, Lambert often praised her relationship with Shelton, saying, “I’m not sunshine and roses. Blake’s the happiest person on the planet. He pulls me out of my darkness… Literally, everything is the best about being married.”
A New Love Finds Her
Miranda Lambert’s current husband, Brendan McLoughlin, entered her life in a serendipitous way. Lambert was performing on ABC’s Good Morning America when McLoughlin, a member of the New York Police Department, was providing security. Lambert’s band, the Pistol Annies, played matchmaker and introduced the two.
The couple met in 2018 and secretly exchanged their vows the following year. Lambert shared her bliss in a Valentine’s Day post, saying, “I feel like I’ve been through enough in my life to know what I don’t want, so when I know what I do want, I snatch it right up.”
A Private Celebration
Unlike her previous highly publicized wedding to Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert opted for privacy this time around. She confessed, “I was married before, and it was a huge wedding, and everything was very public. So was my divorce.” Reflecting on this experience, she made a conscious decision to keep her life with Brendan as private as possible for as long as she could.
