<p id=”par-1_60″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/miranda-lambert/?swcfpc=1″>Miranda Lambert</a> and <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/blake-shelton/?swcfpc=1″>Blake Shelton</a> have both moved on to new marriages following their 2015 divorce. Lambert met her current husband, Brendan McLoughlin, in New York, and they quickly fell for each other. While Lambert doesn’t have many regrets about her life, a source claimed that meeting McLoughlin made her realize that Shelton hadn’t been the right fit for her.</p>

<p id=”par-2_32″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/how-did-miranda-lambert-meet-her-husband-brendan-mcloughlin.html/”>Lambert met McLoughlin</a> when she was performing on <em>Good Morning America.</em> He was working security for the show. She said she knew quickly that she wanted to pursue a connection with him.</p>
<p id=”par-3_32″>“I feel like I’ve been through enough in my life to know what I don’t want, so when I know what I do want I snatch it right up,” she told <a target=”_blank” href=”https://people.com/country/miranda-lambert-brendan-mcloughlin-reason-for-secret-wedding/” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>People</a>.</p>

<p id=”par-4_16″>A source said that Lambert and McLoughlin are a “much better match” than her and Shelton.</p>
<p id=”par-5_31″>“Miranda doesn’t have many regrets,” the source told <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/miranda-lambert-and-brendan-are-a-better-match-than-ex-blake/” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>InTouch Weekly</a>. “But now, she’s with the love of her life, looks back and thinks to herself, ‘What was I doing with Blake?’” </p>

<p id=”par-6_22″>The pair married just a handful of months after they met. She said she wanted the ceremony to be small and private.</p>
<p id=”par-7_56″>“I <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/miranda-lamberts-blake-shelton-nuptials-featured-a-wedding-feast-she-hunted-herself.html/”>was married before</a>, and it was a huge wedding and everything was very public. So was my divorce,” Lambert said. “I learned then that it’s not for everybody else. This is my actual life. With Brendan, I made it a point to keep it as private as I could for as long as I could.”</p>
<p id=”par-8_21″>She said she didn’t have a bridal party at the wedding, wanting the moment to solely be about her and McLoughlin.</p>
<p id=”par-9_12″>“I didn’t have nobody,” she said. “That was mine and his moment.”</p>
<p id=”par-10_24″>In general, she said she prefers to keep a low profile. While she is grateful for her fans, fame has not always been easy.</p>
<p id=”par-11_30″>“I’m literally so normal,” she said. “Sometimes I’m like, ‘Why are y’all so interested?’ I’m thankful, but I’m never going to get used to the public eye in that way.”</p>
