It's official! Miranda Lambert and Anderson East are dating. The award-winning country music artist had a rough year after divorcing her husband of four years, Blake Shelton. Lambert's former husband has moved on with Gwen Stefani. Reports say Shelton has nothing but happiness for his ex when he found out that Lambert has a new boyfriend.
Shelton reportedly discovered the news about Lambert and East from the former's mother, who found it through the internet. His first reaction? According to Hollywood Life, the "Sangria" crooner is more than okay with what he heard. Lambert's estranged husband has no plans to talk to the 27-year-old blues musician. In fact, he's happy that she can now move on with her life.
"Blake heard the news about Miranda and Anderson and is happy for her," a source claimed. "He's only ever wanted the best for her and is glad that they can both move on in 2016. He knows who Anderson is, they have met a couple of times and thinks he's a cool guy. He doesn't know him that well, but if he makes Miranda happy, then that's all that matters."
The Nashville songstress and East started dating just a few weeks back. Lambert apparently thinks the "Lying In Her Arms" singer is a total stud and a complete gentleman. As per the source, she gets butterflies with him. It was East's stepdad, who reportedly told In Touch Weekly that Lambert and East have been dating for a couple of weeks. Shelton on the other hand, thinks East is a cool guy and if the latter would make the Grammy winner happy, he has no problem with that.
It seems everything is going on smoothly now for the exes, who separated in July. "This is not the future we envisioned," the former couple said in their divorce announcement. The 39-year-old filed divorce on July 6 and it was reportedly finalized two weeks after. Since then, the blonde beauty had been seen holding back tears while performing onstage. Now that she has finally moved on, it would mean she's going to welcome the new year with a smile on her face.
