From the outside, Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert seemed to have everything: more money than you could ever spend, celebrity friends, fame and a huge Oklahoma ranch that served as their retreat from the craziness of their jam-packed lives. And most of all, they had each other. But underneath the veneer of the perfect marriage, country’s golden couple were leading increasingly separate lives. When Miranda and Blake first performed together in 2005, it was love at first sight. But the sweetness of their meet-cute was tarnished by the fact that Blake was married to somebody else at the time—a fact that would shadow them ever after. After their wedding day in 2011, they were besieged by rumors of extramarital flirtations, the stories reaching fever pitch in 2013 when Blake was forced to deny he was romantically involved with singer Cady Groves.
