Kaynette Williams Marriage With Blake Shelton Ended Up In Law Court
Three years after Kaynette Williams and Blake Shelton said their vows, they decided to call it quits in a law court. The country fans were devastated, but the divorce proceedings went quietly and without troubles.
In her 2006 divorce proceedings, Kaynette Williams accused the country superstar of being “guilty of inappropriate marital conduct.” This accusation likely bloomed from his alleged infidelity with fellow country star Miranda Lambert.
Shelton lost his heart to Lambert while they were singing a duet during the CMT 100 Greatest Duets special in September 2005. He shared about that bizarre incident of falling for a lady when he was still married in one interview, Shelton said, “I’ve never had that kind of experience with anybody,” he said at the time. “I was a married guy, you know? Looking back on that, I was falling in love with her, right there on stage.”
But that doesn’t mean Shelton didn’t went through a difficult time during the divorce. He said that his divorce with Kaynette Williams was the toughest thing he went through and put it up with his brother’s tragic death. He called the divorce “a tough, tough call to make.”
The breakup inspired much of his “Pure BS” album in 2007; this includes the highest-charting song, “Don’t Make Me.”
“I was making this record completely right through the divorce,” Shelton admitted. “I went through days where I knew I wanted to get a divorce, and then the next day I’d wake up and wouldn’t want to get a divorce. And I’d wonder, ‘What the hell am I doing? Why am I doing this?’ I was dumping all those emotions I was going through and all that pain into this album.”
Shelton thought he wasn’t ready to be a husband. However, he began openly dating Lambert immediately after his separation from his first wife.
