Lambert’s Advice
Fame and love in the spotlight happened fast for Miranda Lambert. She was very young when she met Shelton and was able to experience many highs both with music and with love.
Her views about marriage changed rapidly as she walked through the experience and left her 20s for her 30s. She now feels that marriage is less about the wedding and a ring and more about your commitment to another person.
Never Saw It Coming
After ten years of being in each other’s lives and four years of marriage, Lambert and Shelton said goodbye. "Entertainment Tonight" disclosed that the couple stated that "This is not the future we envisioned and it is with heavy hearts that we move forward separately.”
This also came as a blow to fans who looked at the couple as an idealistic match in the country music world. Lambert and Shelton requested that fans be respectful of their privacy as they navigated their now separate lives. Since then, the two have shared more about the ending of their relationship.
Lambert’s Side
According to Lambert, their schedules were not the only contributor to their split. She shared with "E! Online" that it’s not simply about overcoming obstacles during your marriage, but also about who each person is becoming and that people naturally change as they grow older.
Lambert recognized the importance of staying close to your spouse as the two of you grow together and how things can unravel when you don’t stay close.
10 Years in 10 Days
In 2015, CNN reported on the couple’s seamless divorce. Reportedly Shelton said that their divorce didn't take long to be finalized.
Since the couple had no children together and signed a prenuptial agreement before they got married, they only had to wait about 9-10 days for things to be officially over. Sadly, their long-standing relationship was over in just a few days.
And the Fans Wept
Fans were devastated. The two musicians assured their fanbase publicly that they ended on amicable terms and that there was no bitterness between them.
With their successful careers, it meant they would have to get used to seeing each other relatively often. However, as Shelton and Lambert picked up the pieces of their story, another love story was about to begin.
