Blake’s third marriage is to current wife Gwen Stefani.  The two met in 2014 as coaches on NBC’s The Voice and bonded over their mutual heartbreaks—Blake had recently divorced Miranda Lambert, while Gwen had split from Gavin Rossdale.

Their friendship blossomed into romance in late 2015, and they quickly became one of music’s most beloved couples. The pair often showcased their love through heartfelt performances and sweet social media posts. Over the years, they collaborated on several hit duets, including “Nobody But You” and “Happy Anywhere.”

The powerful country duo spent four years of marriage in the spotlight before Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert divorced on July 20, 2015.   Dual country careers does not make for an easy marriage.   Blake Shelton was busy touring and completing his role on The Voice TV Show while Miranda Lambert also had a busy tour schedule.   Miranda discussed her divorce from Blake in this interview.

Miranda Lambert moved on to date fellow Country Singer Anderson East for two years.  She then dated Evan Felker for 6 months.  The Turnpike Troubadours frontman Evan Felker served as the opening act for Miranda’s recent tour.  Evan and Miranda Lambert have parted ways just six months after their romance started, his divorce from estranged wife Staci Nelson Felker was recently finalized, and he’s reportedly having issues passing a painful kidney stone.  The Turnpike Troubadours canceled their final appearances on Miranda Lambert and Little Big Town‘s co-headlining The Bandwagon Tour.   Miranda Lambert went on to marry Brendan McLoughlin.
