Fans of Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton know that when they announced their decision to split in 2015, rumors about what went wrong ran rampant. Fans could not accept their statement and felt someone must have been to blame for the divorce. When they both attended the 2024 ACM Awards earlier this week, all eyes were on them and how they would interact with each other. And how did they deal with being at the same event? Well, they reportedly chose to avoid each other completely.
Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton Stayed Clear of Each Other
Miranda Lambert attended the event with her husband Brendan McLoughlin, while Blake Shelton was accompanied by his wife, Gwen Stefani. For those hoping this could be a telling moment about how the exes feel about each other, the former couple instead chose to stay clear of each other. A source told InTouch Weekly that Lambert made this decision because she felt it was better to be โsafe than sorry.โ
โMiranda may not have anything against Blake, but sheโs also not looking for any awkward run-ins with her ex. She does avoid him and Gwen at these functions because she feels itโs better to be safe than sorry,โ a source claimed. โItโs just a matter of not wanting to create a situation that could ultimately be taken out of context or misconstrued.โ But does the “Wranglers” singerโs decision to avoid greeting her ex-husband suggest that there is bad blood between them?
Not quite. According to the insider, she โwouldnโt have a problemโ with approaching Shelton to say hello if there were not so many eyes on her when she did it. It is true that celebrity interactions are often dissected and discussed, often suggesting feuds. Still, even Miranda Lambertโs alleged decision to avoid Blake Shelton has now become the topic of headlines.
