First Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton, now this?!

In a joint statement released on Monday, Reba McEntire and her husband Narvel Blackstock announced their separation after 26 years of marriage.

If anymore of our favorite country-music couples split up we won’t have faith in love anymore!

The statement from Big Machine Label Group insisted that the couple would continue to work together as they have for the past 35 years, adding, “Despite this being the end of their marriage, they continue to support each other.”

For those of you who didn’t know, Blackstock is McEntire’s manager…Talk about awkward.

Apparently the couple has been separated for a few months already, but the statement did not mention if the pair was filing for a divorce.

It looks like things are headed that way, though, and we’re still in shock!

McEntire and Blackstock have one son together, Shelby Blackstock.
