Blake Shelton Opens Up About Divorce To Miranda Lambert


For the first time since divorcing Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton is now opening up about the news that broke hearts all over the world. To the shock of everyone, when Shelton and Miranda had announced their divorce, papers had already been filed.

During an interview with The Bobby Bones Show, Shelton opened up about the onslaught of media he experienced after the fact. “My life is all over the papers.”

Of getting divorced in Oklahoma, Shelton said, “In Oklahoma, it happens so fast. Like, Miranda and I didn’t have any kids, and we had a prenuptial agreement, or whatever we had. So, it was like once we filed for divorce…it was like a nine- or 10-day waiting period until it’s over. Even if we knew of rumblings and rumors started coming out, they would just be that. By the time anybody knew anything, it was over. It was done.”

Despite rumors of the couple experiencing troubles in 2011, and reports saying they weren’t talking due to cheating allegations, Blake Shelton said that they are still friendly with each other. “Our whole thing was, we are going to be cool about this. It is what it is. We’re buddies.”

Shelton also talked about how he’s had to deal with the paparazzi trailing him all of a sudden. Being that his divorce made the headlines of every major tabloid, his celebrity meter jumped up, and suddenly he was a high profile target for the paps.

“I saw that guy out there the day before. There was a couple of them. So, I was like, ‘Screw those guys. I’m going out there. Let’s give them something to talk about.’ We were on the set of The Voice and they always have like props and things. They have all kinds of crazy stuff in there. So, I said, ‘Put that bottle of vodka in that stroller and I’m gonna push it out to the car.’ So, I came out pushing the stroller and then it was like, ‘Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.'”

He continued, “The guy followed us and it was like, ‘OK, what do we do with this stroller now?’ The rest of the footage is us trying to figure out how to fold it up.'”

Although reports said that Shelton was miserable after the divorce, the country singer and The Voice star was still active and seemingly chipper on social media. Following the news of his divorce, Shelton posted a tweet about working out and drinking.
