A Tough Time for Them Both
Everyone loves Blake Shelton for his music, but also because he’s a genuine, nice, and respectful guy all around. And Miranda Lambert shares very similar values as Shelton when it comes down to morality and ethics. So, she did her best to keep her feelings on the back burner and be there for Shelton in any way that he needed.
“Being there for him as a friend going through a [separation], and then also being in love with him, I had to give him his space. And had to see him in a really bad spot, you know? And that was a really rough time for both of us,” explained Miranda on Behind the Music.
Just like with any celebrity battling the tabloids, dealing with the rumors about Lambert being the reason for their split was quite a handful, too.
A Dark Time
So did Miranda have anything to do with the end of Blake’s first marriage?
Miranda’s friend, Laci Chaney, shared with Behind the Music: Miranda Lambert Miranda’s side of it all.
“She dealt with a lot of guilt. But the more that they spent time together, the more that she realized that she wasn’t the reason that the marriage didn’t work out.”
So the rumors were just rumors and as Miranda’s unnecessary guilt filtered away, Shelton’s true feelings for her came up on his radar.
