More than ten years after her divorce from Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert has discussed the challenges of their high-profile breakup. In a recent episode of Ross Golan’s podcast, And the Writer Is…, Lambert reflected on the difficulties of going through a divorce in the public eye while both were in the middle of their careers. She described that time as very hard.
After the divorce, Lambert moved back to Nashville full-time and focused on songwriting. She reconnected with friends and drew inspiration from her experiences, writing around 75 songs in about a year. Many of her friends, who are also songwriters, supported her during this period.
Lambert and Shelton were together for ten years before marrying in 2011, but their marriage lasted only four years. In July 2015, they released a joint statement expressing their sadness about the separation and asking for privacy.
Since her divorce, Lambert married Brendan McLoughlin, a former NYPD officer, in 2019, shortly after they began dating. Shelton married Gwen Stefani, whom he started dating after his split from Lambert. Shelton and Stefani got engaged in October 2020 and married in July 2021.
