Kelly Clarkson<\/strong><\/a> has teamed up with Miranda Lambert<\/strong><\/a> for a song and a whole lot more, which is not what people expected from someone who\u2019s supposed to be loyal to Blake Shelton<\/strong><\/a>, and it\u2019s got him feeling the burn from miles away, a source exclusively tells Life & Style<\/em>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Miranda, 40, joined Kelly, 42, on the September 24 episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show<\/em>, for a special \u201cSongs and Stories\u201d edition which saw the two perform a duet of Miranda\u2019s song \u201cNo Man\u2019s Land,\u201d as well as discuss her upcoming album, Postcards From Texas<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cKelly was Team Blake for a long, long time and Gwen, too, by default, but now that she\u2019s gotten to know Miranda better, she doesn\u2019t know what Blake\u2019s talking about,\u201d the source says.<\/span><\/p>\n Miranda\u2019s marriage to country star Blake, 48, dissolved in 2015 after four years together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThis is not the future we envisioned,\u201d the couple\u2019s rep said in a statement at the time. \u201cAnd it is with heavy hearts that we move forward separately. We are real people, with real lives, with real families, friends and colleagues. Therefore, we kindly ask for privacy and compassion concerning this very personal matter.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The dream country couple first got together in 2006, with Blake proposing to her in 2010 before they finally tied the knot in 2011. They not only blended their personal lives, but collaborated together frequently in the studio.<\/span><\/p>\n They divorced in July 2015<\/a>, and, despite a rep saying \u201cThere are no hard feelings. They want to move on as friends, and they are doing just that,\u201d about the split, rumors began flying about Blake\u2019s relationship with his Voice<\/em> cohost Gwen Stefani, 55, whom he met on set in 2014.<\/span><\/p>\n Gwen also split from husband Gavin Rossdale<\/strong>, with whom she shares three children, in August 2015, just a month after Miranda and Blake\u2019s divorce, fueling gossip about an alleged affair between the two judges.<\/span><\/p>\n They put their chemistry on display<\/a> shortly afterwards, giving an impassioned duet performance of Drake<\/strong>\u2019s \u201cHotline Bling\u201d on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon<\/em> in October 2015, before going official as a couple in November. After five years of dating, the couple engaged in October 2020 and married in July 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n While Gwen claimed they bonded over their divorces, suspicions arose that there was bad blood between the pop star and her new boyfriend Blake\u2019s ex wife, Miranda.<\/span><\/p>\n Now Kelly, who had been firmly in Blake\u2019s camp, is buddying up to her good friend\u2019s ex wife, which may complicate their relationship, according to the source.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cKelly\u2019s realized Miranda\u2019s not a baddie at all<\/a>, in fact, she\u2019s a sweetheart and she\u2019s going to give her support and be kind and generous even if it jeopardizes her friendship with Blake,\u201d the insider continues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cOf course, Miranda\u2019s putting on the charm. She certainly knows Kelly is a friend of Blake\u2019s.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
