How is Miranda Lambert fighting for her marriage?
Miranda Lambert appeared as a guest on Bunnie Xo’s Dumb Blonde podcast on Monday, August 19.
During that interview, Lambert shared what she had told husband Brendan McLoughlin.
“I told him, like, ‘I’m a ninja for you, and I will fight through anything with you.’” Miranda Lambert revealed.
“And I feel like that’s so important,” Miranda Lambert then expressed.
“And I think, you know, going through other relationships, you learn through those things,” she said upon reflection.
“And you learn about communication,” Miranda Lambert observed. “And what you did do and what you didn’t do.”

“And so, I think I came into this marriage with such a strong sense of what I want,” Miranda Lambert described.
She then continued: “And what I want to be for someone and the partner I want to be.”
Part of that, the Country singer noted, was communicating instead of “harboring resentment.”

“You can’t have distance emotionally and physically,” Miranda Lambert then emphasized.
She understated: “That’s not going to work.” True. A strong emotional bond can survive a physical distance. Without that tether, people will drift apart.

The reason that fans expect to see Miranda Lambert fighting for her marriage at all is because of her husband’s scandal.
In June of 2024, her 32-year-old husband Brendan seemed to be flirting with a group of women at the Casa Rosa bar in Nashville. His perhaps overly friendly antics went viral on TikTok.
Yes, that is the bar that Miranda Lambert herself owns. If you’re going to cheat on your wife (which no one involved has suggested that he did), that’s not the place to do it.

No one hooked up or was trying to hook up. And apparently the flirty gestures — like face-touching — were simply bad habits in a noisy establishment.
Perhaps that is so. But it was not a good look for a married man.
Especially not for a man whose wife’s most famous song is (arguably) “Before He Cheats.” You really want to be on your best behavior. Don’t embarrass your celebrity wife.

And then, something wildly unexpected happened just a few weeks after this.
Miranda accepted the invitation to present at the award show and was spotted walking the red carpet with none other than her hubby.
The two looked happy enough, holding hands and wearing matching black suits. Well, not totally matching; Miranda sexed hers up with a bedazzled blue bralette and no blouse!
Perhaps all is well then!
