Whatever the case, we may never know what exactly prompted Blake and Miranda to call it quits, but we do know that plenty of country music fans will be listening to the Shelton and Lambert’s most heart-wrenching breakup ballads tonight. As expected, they seek privacy and compassion during this hard time, in their “very personal matter”.
The singers are power players on the country music scene, with Shelton and Lambert both nominated for Entertainer of the Year at the most recent Academy of Country Music Awards. Miranda Lambert & Blake Shelton are getting a divorce.
Shelton, 39, hasn’t posted on Twitter since the divorce news broke, but a photo of Lambert from her January 2o15 cover shoot with Marie Claire still remains as his header. Shelton chose a five-button vest and brown cowboy boots, and he clutched his wife close.

The House That Built Me singer Miranda even donned her mums wedding dress for her big day adding a pair of sparkly cowboy boots.

The couple tied the knot in 2011 and according to TMZ, Blake filed divorce documents awhile ago. “We had instant chemistry”, she revealed.
