Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton were once a power couple in the music industry. They had a whirlwind romance, getting engaged in 2010 and tying the knot the following year. However, their relationship faced challenges, including rumors of infidelity. In July 2015, they announced their divorce, expressing their sadness over the unexpected turn of events.
After the divorce, Blake Shelton wasted no time in moving on and began dating his fellow The Voice judge, Gwen Stefani, who was also going through a divorce. Naturally, people wondered how Miranda Lambert felt about her ex-husband’s new relationship and the speed at which he moved on. Let’s explore what we know.
Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert’s Relationship
There have been speculations that Blake and Gwen’s relationship may have started before his divorce from Miranda. During their marriage, Blake and Gwen worked closely together on The Voice, which led to some rumors. However, both Blake and Miranda have repeatedly denied any infidelity.
One reason cited for their split was a disagreement about starting a family. “Blake is eager to have children, but she really enjoys not being tied down,” a source shared in 2015. It seems that they had different timelines when it came to expanding their family.
On the other hand, there were reports suggesting that Blake suspected Miranda of seeing someone else during their marriage. These trust issues may have contributed to the strain on their relationship.
Miranda Lambert’s Initial Reaction
It appears that Miranda had her suspicions about Blake’s feelings for Gwen even before their divorce was finalized. According to a source, “Miranda believes something’s been going on between these two for a lot longer than they’re letting on.” Another insider mentioned that Miranda wasn’t entirely surprised when Blake and Gwen started dating, as their flirty behavior had not gone unnoticed. It seemed that the cracks in Miranda and Blake’s marriage were already there, and they knew this was a possibility.
Reports from 2017 suggested that there were still lingering negative emotions between Miranda and Blake. Their divorce came as a surprise to Miranda, and there was a sense of unresolved anger between them. Furthermore, Miranda was hurt by how quickly Blake moved on with Gwen, especially considering the very public nature of their relationship.
Miranda Lambert’s Peaceful Outlook
Though it’s uncertain whether Blake and Gwen’s romance began before or after his divorce from Miranda, it’s understandable that Miranda would be affected by how swiftly he moved on. However, reports indicate that Miranda holds no grudges against Gwen.
In fact, Miranda and Gwen have a deep respect for each other’s music and talent. They are fans of one another and maintain a positive view of each other. Miranda has always held Gwen in high regard and appreciates her talent, and Gwen feels the same way about Miranda. They support each other’s happiness and actively avoid any unnecessary drama.
It’s worth noting that Miranda herself has moved on since her divorce. She found love again and married New York City Police Department Officer Brendan McLoughlin in 2019. Miranda appears to be happily married and has shifted her focus towards her own happiness and career. She harbors no ill will towards Gwen or anyone else involved in her past.
Both women genuinely wish each other the best and continue to be successful in their respective journeys.
