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.
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.
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.
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.
Stefani in the Mid 2000s
As Lambert and Shelton lived out the beginning and end of their love story, Gwen Stefani also had a personal saga of her own. Stefani and her musician husband, Gavin Rossdale, (whom she married in 2002) had three sons together. Her solo career had been very successful and she also managed to reunite and perform with her band No Doubt.
But rumors of an alleged affair by Stefani were circling her marriage, though the couple tried their best to keep their private lives private. But it wouldn’t matter as, in 2015, her personal life would take a huge hit.
