Miranda Lambert continues to find her husband Brendan McLoughlin irresistible, even after four years of marriage. The 39-year-old country singer expressed her admiration for McLoughlin, a 31-year-old retired police officer, on social media after he posted shirtless photos displaying his toned physique.
In the comments section of the snaps posted on Thursday, June 15, she exclaimed, "Wow, you're killing it with all the fitness vibes!" The photos featured a happy and sweaty McLoughlin posing for the camera. After the workout, the New York native shared the images and mentioned completing a refreshing 5-mile run before the rain. McLoughlin also expressed his gratitude towards @yeti for keeping his water ice cold and readily available when he needed it the most.
Shortly after meeting on Good Morning America in November 2018, the singer behind "Kerosene" and her now-husband began their relationship. However, their love story was not without its complications. McLoughlin had recently become a father to son Landon with his ex Kaihla Rettinger just days prior to meeting Lambert. Additionally, McLoughlin was engaged to Jackie Bruno when Rettinger became pregnant, according to an exclusive claim made by Bruno's mother to We magazine in February 2019. Carol Bruno stated that McLoughlin initially denied the pregnancy, but later pleaded with Jackie to stay with him and even proposed before she left to play soccer abroad for a few months.

Lambert and McLoughlin overcame their rocky start and got married in 2019, only three months after they began dating. Since then, the Grammy winner has embraced her role as stepmom to Landon, who is now 4 years old. In October 2022, an exclusive source told Us that the couple is still trying to have a baby of their own. According to the insider, they would love to expand their family in the near future. Miranda has always been nurturing, especially after taking care of so many animals, so she is ready for that next step.
The couple is currently relishing their time together and recently made an appearance at the Academy of Country Music Awards. During the event, Miranda, who sang "Gunpowder & Lead," held onto her partner while they posed for the cameras on the red carpet. According to an insider who spoke exclusively to Us in April, Miranda and Brendan are still going strong and feel like newlyweds despite being married for a few years now. The source added that Miranda is thrilled to have a husband who is low-key and down-to-earth like her, and they are an ideal match.
According to a source, the Texan singer-songwriter is enjoying the privacy that comes with her relationship with McLoughlin. The source also revealed that the two complement each other perfectly and that Lambert feels like she has found her soulmate. Before McLoughlin, Lambert was married to Blake Shelton from 2011 to 2015. The former couple started dating in 2006 and got married after five years of being together. They announced their separation in July 2015.
"We had hoped for a different outcome and it is with sadness that we must now go our separate ways," expressed the country singer of the hit song "Not My Mama's Broken Heart" and former coach on the popular show, The Voice, alongside her partner in a joint statement. "As individuals with families, friends, and professional lives, we request that our privacy and sensitivity be respected during this sensitive time."
