The country music star Miranda Lambert has just spoken out to open up about the “really strong” relationship that she has with her husband, Brendan McLoughlin.
While appearing on SiriusXM’s The Storme Warren Show, Lambert talked about how she and her husband have been spending “so much alone time” together during COVID-19.
“I think it was really good,” Lambert said. “We didn’t date very long before we got married. And so we sort of got to just really, really, really get to know each other. Cause it was just us two with no distraction, at my farm outside of Nashville. And so I was really thankful for it because it made us really strong.”
While the past year has been difficult, Lambert said that she is grateful to have had the chance to reconnect with what is most important to her.
“A lot of couples, especially a lot of my friends don’t really see their significant other because we’re different directions all the time. But with everything that happened last year, I think everybody was forced to sort of reconnect with themselves and with people that they really love and that are close to them,” she said,” jokingly adding, “And I kept saying there’s gonna be a lot of engagements and babies or a lot of divorce.”
Lambert went on to talk about what it’s been like to travel with her husband, discussing one moment that had the potential to push their relationship.
“Backing up [a trailer is] sort of a trigger,” she explained. “That’ll be the one time you really identified as like, one person trying to back up the other person, trying to tell the other person how to back up a trailer.”
When it comes to days on the road, Lambert added that the couple likes to keep themselves occupied.
“We do a lot of podcasts,” she said. “So like we don’t have to just sit there and twiddle our thumbs and talk while we drive. We like get into Dateline or murder mysteries or something. So that helps.”
Lambert was also asked during the interview if she’s ever considered doing laundry on his washboard abs.
“Oh yeah. That’s a great idea,” she said, going on to talk about one specific memory from traveling together.
“There was a laundry right across from where we parked,” she said. “So I had to do some zoom meetings and he did the laundry. I was like, house husband on the road this is great.”
