NASHVILLE, Tenn. — After years of tabloid gossip, country music’s top couple Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert announced their divorce after four years of marriage.
“This is not the future we envisioned,” their representatives said in a statement to The Associated Press. “And it is with heavy hearts that we move forward separately. We are real people, with real lives, with real families, friends and colleagues. Therefore, we kindly ask for privacy and compassion concerning this very personal matter.”
The couple dated for five years before marrying in 2011.
This was Lambert’s first marriage and the second for Shelton.
Late Monday, Lambert confirmed the divorce is finalized.
