Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton to divorce after 4 years of marriage

Country music's hottest couple Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert have sadly announced their divorce after four years of marriage.

The pair tied the knot back in May 2011 and their relationship has often been the subject of tabloid gossip, but they have now confirmed details of their divorce in a statement issued to Associated Press via their representatives. The statement reads:

"This is not the future we envisioned. And it is with heavy hearts that we move forward separately. We are real people, with real lives, with real families, friends and colleagues. Therefore, we kindly ask for privacy and compassion concerning this very personal matter."

Back in the winter of 2014, Lambert told '60 Minutes' that she and Shelton share their marriage with the press because at least that way they're being honest and rumours are less likely to emerge:

"We feel like we're very honest with who we are and our relationship. We've kinda told the good, the bad, the ugly as our relationship has progressed from the beginning till now. And people dig anyway and they make up lies, so I feel like, we don't really hold back, because if you hold back they're going to dig anyway so might as well just tell it. He's somebody who’s impossible to fight with because he's always in a good mood."
