Miranda Lambert Opens Up About Divorce From Blake Shelton
"We gave it our best college try," she said.
— -- Miranda Lambert is finally speaking out about her divorce from Blake Shelton.
Despite their much-publicized split, the two are still friendly, she said.
"We were together for 10 years, married for four, were very quickly divorced, and are friends," she told Cosmopolitan for the magazine's January cover. "I'm still processing everything and figuring out where to go and what happened."
Lambert, 32, added that marriage is "a tough business, and we gave it our best college try."
At the time of the split back in July, Lambert and Shelton, 39, told the Associated Press, "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."
Lambert told Cosmopolitan that getting married again is "completely not on my radar at all right now."
"It's not about a piece of paper or a diamond. It's the way you feel about somebody and the commitment in your heart," she added. "I just want to live a life full of everything. Some of that might mean nights on my porch crying, drinking whiskey, and going, 'Man this sucks right now.' I don't necessarily want to know that I have really bad, long, lonely nights ahead of me, but I have had some, and I still have a bunch ahead of me."
As for Shelton, he's currently dating his "The Voice" co-star Gwen Stefani, who also announced her divorce recently.
Shelton spoke about his "fast" divorce in September.
"In Oklahoma, it happens so fast. Like, Miranda and I didn't have any kids, and we had a pre-nuptial agreement, whatever we had," he said on the Bobby Bones Show. "Once we filed for divorce... I think it was [only] like a nine or ten day waiting period until it's over."
