Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton divorcing
Sad news today from the world of country music as superstars Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton have announced they are divorcing after 4 years of marriage.
Shelton and Lambert issued the following statement to the AP:
“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 families, friends and colleagues. Therefore, we kindly ask for privacy and compassion concerning this very personal matter.”
Sparks first flew for the now former first couple of country when the two appeared together to sing the duet, “You’re the Reason God Make Oklahoma.” It was an electric moment as you could feel the energy between the two.
Shelton said of that performance, “I was a married guy, you know, standing up there going, ‘Man, this shouldn’t be happening.’ Looking back on that, I was falling in love with her right there onstage.”
The duo married in May of 2011 after dating for a number of years.
