Blake Shelton Opens Up About His 'Fast' Divorce From Miranda Lambert

If your heart was broken by news of Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert's divorce this past summer, perhaps you'll take some solace in knowing the two are still friends.

Shelton, 39, opened up about his split from his wife of four years on the "Bobby Bones Show" on Wednesday.

"In Oklahoma, it happens so fast," the singer told the radio host. "Like, Miranda and I didn't have any kids, and we had a prenuptial agreement, whatever we had. Once we filed for divorce, it was over in, like, I think it was like a nine- or 10-day waiting period."

The couple was plagued by rumors of marriage trouble, which they always denied and tried to laugh off. When the rumors eventually proved true, the couple decided they needed to beat the press to the punch.

"We knew if rumblings and rumors started coming out, they would just be that. By the time anybody knew anything, it was over. It was done," he explained. "Our whole thing was, we are going to be cool about this, it is what it is. We're buddies."

"The Voice" star and Lambert, 31, announced their divorce in a statement to TMZ on July 20:

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