Miranda Lambert leaves his division with Anderson East, but who exactly is his new boyfriend, Evan Felker?

Source confirm that the couple, both 34 years old, are dating, and several reports say they began to see each other during the tour together earlier this year. A day after the news, Lambert's former husband, Blake Shelton, apparently called his ex on Twitter.

"I've been on the road for a long time ... I almost gave up, but finally I can see something on the horizon over there Wait, could it be? Yes, it's karma!" Shelton, 41, wrote on social media Wednesday morning.

Here's everything you need to know about Felker and his new relationship with Lambert:

How did Evan and Miranda meet?

when Lambert and Felker "started spending a lot more time traveling together" while their band opened for their Livin 'Like Hippies tour. The group will join Lambert again for 10 shows during their "Bandwagon Tour" with Little Big Town starting July 12 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

After posting a message on Instagram that spoke of Lambert "the coolest woman in country music," the band also boasted about working with their team.

But why does the new relationship cause astonishment?

While Lambert and Felker had been dating for several months, the singer's wife, Staci Nelson, only filed for divorce from her husband and composer in mid-February, after almost a year and a half of marriage.

Although neither Lambert nor East publicly spoke of their separation, the singer suggested a break in early March when she reflected on her emotions during a concert at the Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, Tennessee. .

"I want you to feel sad, angry, happy and nostalgic and really angry sometimes, it's my favorite, and some of the feelings are also unloving, unfortunately," he continued.

"But luckily for me, I can use it for my art or something else, I like writing sad songs, I like listening to sad songs, so I want to sing them all," Lambert concludes.

And again, at the ACM on April 15th, she apparently referred to the break by accepting the song of the year award after participating in the solo show.

"Thanks a lot to the guys for sharing my broken heart with me," said Lambert in his acceptance speech for his triumphal record.

For which songs is your band better known?

Composed by singer Felker, as well as bassist RC Edwards, violinist Kyle Nix, electric guitarist Ryan Engleman, drummer Gabriel Pearson and accordionist Hank Early, the Oklahoma group formed in 2005. They released five studio albums with Bossier City Records, including their latest 2017 album A Long Way of His Heart, for which Felker helped write 11 tracks, according to Rolling Stone. Their 2015 self-titled album, The Turnpike Troubadours, reached number 17 on the Billboard 200 list and reached number 3 on the charts, while Goodbye Normal Street in 2012 reached 14th place.

"Writing songs is the most important thing for me, everything else comes second," Felker told the magazine in October, before the release of his fifth album, which tells stories of hardships and pains in the small town . "It comes from life, but not necessarily things that happen to me directly, I would lead a very tragic life if everything I wrote had happened to me."
