Country music star Blake Shelton has finally addressed why his split from Miranda Lambert seemed so quick.
The two announced their divorce on Jul. 20, but according to US Weekly, it was finalized just hours after it was made public. Shelton had filed divorce papers two weeks earlier, TMZ reports.
In a recent interview with "The Bobby Bones Show," Shelton shared how he kept their breakup quiet.
"In Oklahoma, it happens so fast," said Shelton. "Like, Miranda and I didn't have any kids, and we had a prenuptial agreement, or whatever we had. So, it was like once we filed for divorce… it was like a nine or 10-day waiting period until it's over.”
He said that he was not too worried about rumours, or whispers about infidelity.
“By the time anyone knew anything, it was over.”
The superstar couple were married for four years and famously met in 2005 while Shelton was still married to first wife Kaynette Gern.
"I didn't know if it was just initial butterflies… I don't know what it was," Lambert told Hoba Kotb in 2011, about when she first met Shelton. "It was just this draw to each other."
But while those butterflies may have faded for the couple, their speedy divorce may have helped them avoid any further drama.
Oklahoma came in second in a ranking of states with the nicest divorces, according to new research from divorce form preparation service CompleteCase.com.
Shelton told "The Bobby Bones Show" that he and Lambert are still on good terms.
"Our whole thing was: You know, we're just going to be cool about this," said Shelton. "It is what it is. We're buddies."

And at 44, I had the child I never thought I'd have. If it hadn't been for these late-in-life events, I wouldn't have found out about the cancer inside me until it was too late. They discovered it during the C-section that brought our daughter into the world. All I can say is, never question the timing of the universe!" -Joanna Montgomery (credit:Joanna Montgomery)

Though she couldn't save me physically -- I had to do that myself -- she saved me emotionally. I credit my strength and bravery to her. She was (and is) a steady ear to listen and paw to hold." -Jenny Sampley (credit:Jenny Sampley)

They love without fear, nor judgement of others. They don't hold grudges or count rights or wrongs. They show me the true meaning of love. After the divorce I thought I wasn't capable of finding that love again but my children remind me daily that I never lost it." -Susan Grace (credit:Susan Grace)

I can be a better, happier mom for my kids. I've also had a lot of fun meeting new people and I recently met a guy who was also going through a divorce and has kids who are about the same age as mine. Neither off us is ready to jump into anything serious, but both agree that we enjoy each others' company. Life is good!" -Erin Delpercio (credit:Erin Delpercio)
