The news comes about four years after Lambert’s highly publicized divorce from fellow country singer Blake Shelton. Since then, Lambert has been romantically linked to musicians Anderson East and Evan Felker, splitting from the latter only in August. Lambert and McLoughlin reportedly met in November of 2018 when the 27-year-old police officer was working near the Good Morning America studios where Lambert was performing. They were married by the end of January.

McLoughlin has often been featured on the NYPD’s Twitter account, where he’s been praised for his police work. A source told People that McLoughlin’s job was what attracted Lambert to him, as he reminded her of her parents who owned a private detective agency when Lambert was growing up. McLoughlin is also a father to a three-month old baby with his ex Kaihla Rettinger, born just before he met Lambert.
