Blake Shelton Jokes, Drinks Vodka In First Post-Divorce Interview
Posted on Tue Aug 4th, 2015 10:29am PDT By X17 Staff
Just two days after finalizing his divorce with Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton sat down with Entertainment Tonight to promote his upcoming season of The Voice -- and it looks like the country crooner needed a stiff drink in hand for the interview! We don't blame him -- divorce is rough stuff!
Seated next to Brad Paisley, the 39-year-old had with a Solo cup that was filled with ice and "a little vodka." The recently single singer joked, "I thought I'd go ahead and get it started early. ... It's been one of those weeks."
It most certainly had been one of those weeks. On July 20, the couple announced in a joint statement that they were splitting after four years of marriage. The duo said, "And it is with heavy hearts that we move forward separately." Mere hours after the split announcement hit, their divorce was finalized.
Despite the divorce, the two say they have "no hard feelings" and seem to be trying to have a good friendship (or at least keeping up appearances via social media).
We are looking forward to see how the heartbroken man handles himself when the The Voice returns on Sept. 21 on NBC.
