Miranda Lambert may be one of the most successful country stars around, but when it comes to love, she’s as human as the rest of us. In a candid interview, the 40-year-old singer opened up about her marriage to former NYPD officer Brendan McLoughlin, and it’s clear that while their love is strong, it hasn’t been without its challenges. After five years of marriage, the couple is proving their skeptics wrong—but Lambert is the first to admit that making it work takes effort.
When Lambert and McLoughlin first tied the knot, their seemingly opposite lifestyles raised eyebrows. She’s a Texas-born country singer, and he’s a New York City cop. On the surface, it didn’t seem like they’d be a match, but Lambert quickly learned that love isn’t just about similarities.
"What I’ve learned the most is that communication is everything," she shared in a recent interview. "Love doesn’t always cut it. You’ve got to talk about stuff. And you have to compromise."
Their relationship, she says, is built on those very compromises. While they may come from different worlds, they’ve learned to bridge the gap by being honest and open with one another. “Sometimes, you just have to listen when the other person has something important to say,” Lambert reflects, adding that these conversations have been the foundation of their marriage.
