Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton, a country music golden couple, filed for divorce Monday after four years of marriage.

"This is not the future we envisioned," Lambert and Shelton said in a statement to The Associated Press. "And it is with heavy hearts that we move forward separately. We are real people, with real lives, with real families, friends, and colleagues. Therefore, we kindly ask for privacy and compassion concerning this very personal matter."
