Shelton, Lambert announce split

Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton are the new celebrity couple who have split and are getting divorced. We can’t even imagine how she feels right now, and if her performance at one of her concerts over the weekend says anything about her well-being at the moment…then we’re concerned.

In a statement issued by the pair’s representatives they said: “This is not the future we envisioned”. Shelton and Lambert noted that they are real people, with a real family and they lead real lives, and they have friends and colleagues. “Therefore, most people kind seek level of privacy and sympathy in this regard remarkably special really matter”.

Blake divorced his first wife, Kaynette Williams, in 2006.

However, whispers of trouble in paradise intensified in recent months – particularly when Lambert walked away from the Academy of Country Music Awards in April with a slew of trophies, but never once thanked Shelton during several acceptance speeches.

They became engaged after Shelton proposed at their Tishomingo, Oklahoma home in 2010.

The couple have also discussed how hard their endless touring schedules make spending time together. “I think they both were off on what the time frame would be”, a source told Page Six.

HollywoodLifers – are YOU surprised that Miranda didn’t give her mom a heads up on her divorce from Blake?

But tabloids hounded the couple, in particularly focusing on their lives and Lambert’s weight. Fame? Cheating? No time to spend with one another?

In fact, last year, on her husband’s 38th birthday on June 18, the singer called him, “my best friend in the whole world”, in an anniversary message.

Through the years, Lambert and Shelton have found strength collaborating on projects including co-writing the emotional hit song “Over You“. “Blake’s the happiest person on the planet”.
