We
were
trying
to
accept
the
divorce
news
of
Ben
Affleck
and
Jennifer
Garner
when
another
strong
celebrity
couple
called
it
quits.
Miranda
Lambert
and
Blake
Shelton
are
the
new
celebrity
couple
who
have
split
and
are
getting
divorced.
The
singers
are
divorcing
after
being
married
for
4
years.
TMZ
first
broke
the
news
of
their
divorce
and
soon
the
couple
released
a
joint
statement
confirming
the
separation.
"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."

According
to
TMZ,
who
first
broke
the
story,
Blake
Shelton
filed
divorce
papers
a
while
ago.
The
couple
have
no
children
together
but
reportedly
have
a
prenup.
Miranda
Lambert
and
Blake
Shelton
tied
the
knot
in
front
of
family
and
friends
in
Texas
back
in
May
2011.
Blake
and
Miranda
were
last
photographed
together
at
the
50th
ACM
Awards
on
Apr.
19
in
Arlington,
Texas.
They
appeared
and
even
performed
over
the
weekend
but
never
showed
any
tension
on
their
faces.
Blake
Shelton
even
sported
his
wedding
ring
which
did
not
show
any
trouble
in
paradise.
The
reason
behind
the
divorce
is
said
to
be
busy
schedules
and
trust
issues.
"Their
busy
schedules
were
a
big
issue
for
them.
They
both
worked
a
lot
and
had
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
apart.
The
less
time
they
spent
together,
the
more
they
grew
apart," a
source
told
E!
News.
"Trust
was
an
issue
for
both
of
them.
It
went
along
with
having
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
apart.
Rumors
of
infidelity
put
stress
on
them.
Despite
denials,
even
just
rumors
of
cheating
are
still
hard
to
hear."
