New York: Country music superstars Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert, the ultimate power couple in Nashville, have filed for divorce after four years of marriage, reports said Monday.
In a breakup that can be expected to inspire future country ballads, the 39-year-old Blake and the 31-year-old Miranda reportedly filed for divorce in Oklahoma.
Celebrity news website TMZ said that Miranda has been moving her animals including horses, a camel and a llama from the couple's Oklahoma ranch, which Blake will keep.
Miranda, in turn, will keep their home in Nashville, the site said.
The singers are power players on the country music scene, with Miranda and Blake both nominated for Entertainer of the Year at the most recent Academy of Country Music Awards.
Miranda has repeatedly spoken fondly of her husband in public and insisted that the relationship would last forever.
"Like I always say, my mom said to my dad, 'Divorce is not an option,'" she said at the 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards.
"When this is all said and done we will be drinking a beer together on a front porch somewhere, reminiscing about the good old days," she said after the two shared a songwriting award.
It was the first marriage for Miranda and the second for Blake, who was married between 2003 and 2006.
The two started dating around the time of his divorce after meeting at a concert.
They have both enjoyed strong crossover appeal, with their latest albums each debuting at the top of the mainstream Billboard album chart last year. Shelton is also a judge on the US singing reality television show The Voice.
