Blake Shelton is speaking out about his sudden and shocking split from Miranda Lambert.
The former country couple announced their divorce on July 20 after four years of marriage. Unlike many of their celebrity counterparts, Shelton and Lambert settled the matter quickly and quietly -- with the news only becoming public on the same day that the divorce agreement was finalized.

"Like, Miranda and I didn't have any kids, and we had a prenuptial agreement, whatever we had.
