HIS is not the future we envisioned,” Blake Shelton and Miranda
Lambert lamented when they announced their split in July 2015 after
four years of marriage. The ensuing unpleasantness was straight out of
a country song, with sources on both sides claiming the other had cheated.
“Miranda was accused of having five affairs in four years — that’s how ugly
their divorce got,” says an insider. One source claims the “Tin Man” singer,
35, had stepped out with a married member of her crew, a major league
baseball player and one of 43-year-old Blake’s closest friends! (A rep for
Miranda denies these claims.) “She had a secret double life,” a tipster told
Star. Rumors of infidelity didn’t stop Miranda — who married New York City
cop Brendan McLoughlin in January — from throwing shade at Blake, who’s
dating Gwen Stefani. At the ACM Awards in April, she changed the lyrics in
her song “Little Red Wagon” from “I live in Oklahoma” to “I got the hell out
of Oklahoma,” a reference to leaving Blake’s home state after their breakup.
“Blake and Miranda’s relationship was great until it wasn’t,” says a source.MATT LAUER &

ALK about an epic fall from grace. In November 2017, Matt Lauer was
fired from his long-running job on Today over sexual misconduct
claims. It was the final nail in the coffin for his nearly 20-year
marriage to Dutch model Annette Roque, 52. (They share kids Jack, 18,
Romy, 15, and Thijs, 12.) A Today intern spoke out about her brief affair
with Matt in 2000, and, our insider says, “He had fallen in love with her.”
The former anchor, 61, reportedly had to fork over $20 million in the
settlement. Woodland Hills, Calif.-based celeb divorce lawyer Goldie
Schon says she’s “seen clauses in prenuptial agreements that say, ‘If you
cheat on me, it’s going to cost you $250,000 every time.’ ” It’s no wonder
Annette was due some major cash. According to reports, Matt had
propositioned other junior employees, exposed his private parts to
women and given a colleague a sex toy with explicit instructions on how to
use it. “It really doesn’t get any slimier than that!” our source says.BLAKE SHELTON &
