Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert have announced that they’re divorcing after four years of marriage. Now, new reports about how they’re coping with the sudden news of their divorce are coming out of the woodwork. Blake is reportedly “crushed,” while Miranda is “doing the best she can.”
Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert shocked country fans by announcing their divorce on Monday, July 20. According to a new report, Shelton isn’t taking the split too well. The couple divorced because their hectic schedules weren’t helping their relationship. An insider told the Hollywood Life that Shelton was faithful and loved his wife very much.
“Blake was loyal, devoted and madly in love with Miranda. The road took its toll on the relationship. They began to grow apart recently. This is very tough on Blake. She was the love of his love. Her name always came up in conversation. Their split was fast because of the media. No need to drag it out for either of them.”
Shelton and Lambert were pretending to be a happy couple for their fans and for Lambert’s own mother. Just like their fans, Lambert’s mom was surprised by the announcement of their split as well. Beverly June Hughes told Radar Online that she had no idea that the couple’s marriage was so troubled. She was obviously shocked when the celebrity gossip site reached out to her about the news that Shelton and Lambert had already finalized their divorce.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about. They didn’t tell me!”
As for Miranda, she’s trying to handle the split the best way she can. She’s staying focused as she continues her tour. An insider told E! Online that Miranda is “doing the best she can at the moment and trying to process everything.”
“She is strong and will come out of this stronger. She is focusing on her music, family and friends.”
Shelton and Lambert don’t have any children together, but they reportedly have a prenup. The divorce is obviously hard on Lambert, as she was seen crying on stage during an emotional performance at her concert.
It was reported that Blake was the one who filed the divorce papers, and the two released a joint statement to their fans.
“This is not the future we envisioned and it is with heavy heart 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.”
