Country music’s most famous couple is divorcing. The AP reported this morning that Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton have ended their union after four years of marriage.
Shelton, who transcended country music fame with his breakout role as a coach on NBC’s singing competition The Voice, famously duetted with Lambert during CMT’s 100 Greatest Duets special in 2005, singing “You’re the Reason God Made Oklahoma.” Together, the couple resided in Tishomingo, Oklahoma, near Shelton’s hometown of Ada, Oklahoma, and the pair became fixtures around town.
In a statement given to the media, Lambert and Shelton, ‘ask for privacy and compassion concerning this very personal matter.”
