The country world is in mourning today, so get out your black cowboy hats and boots as we say goodbye to Miranda Lambert, 31 and Blake Shelton, 39 as a couple, ending their 4-year marriage. I don’t know about you all, but I never saw this coming — and I am really sad about it.
The couple had been together for about a decade and married in 2011 in Texas after five years of dating. According to reports, Blake was the one who filed for divorce and he did so some time ago in Oklahoma secretly. Maybe because they did it away from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, was the only reason why we are just now hearing of this today, when it is finalized.
It seems like just yesterday the two were hanging out at the ACM Awards in Dallas and everything seemed fine. The two were always supporting each other at various award shows, even when competing against each other! In fact, 13-weeks ago the “Little Red Wagon” singer Instagrammed a photo of her, thanking the “Sangria” crooner.
“I always get so nervous when I have to speak and forget to say thank you to some of the most important people in my life. Like my sweet husband @blakeshelton Thank you for being my rock and always pushing me to be better! I love you.”
The two apparently had a prenup and have released the statement below:
“This is not the future we envisioned and it is with heavy hearts that we move forward separately. We are real people, with real lives, with real family, friends and colleagues. Therefore, we kindly ask for privacy and compassion concerning this very personal matter.”
It’s clear this was Blake’s decision, so it will be interesting in the days ahead if we hear what exactly went wrong in the relationship, because they seemed so perfect! We wish you both nothing but the best moving forward — and if you need a shoulder to cry on — we’re here for you!
