“I’ve never had that kind of experience with anybody… I was a married guy, you know? Standing up there and singing with somebody and going, ‘Man, this shouldn’t be happening.’ Looking back on that, I was falling in love with her, right there on stage. It was just like this draw to each other. It was just sort of this inevitable chemistry.”
Man, I know this kind of stuff happens from time to time, and judgement all depends on how you handle the situation, but I’d be SO MAD if my husband decided one day that he’d fallen in love with some country-singin’ floozy in the space of five minutes. Hell.
How do you guys feel about all this business – sweet or heinous?
As you said, this happens from time to time, but the two of them talking about it is a bit of a slap in the face to his ex wife. They’re trying to romanticize cheating on your spouse, essentially. Anyone who has ever been cheated on knows how awful that betrayal is. For the two of them to give interviews about how they were falling in love with his wife still in the picture is hurtful and disgusting in my opinion.
I do not buy that one falls in love in minutes. One may get a crush, or an infatuation that grows into love but the way he words it he is a victim of fate. That is just a way of passing off his responsibility for committing adultery on the fates of the universe. What a load of hog-wash.
He said he was falling in love and singing, not boinking Miranda on stage. He did leave his wife, not carry on with Miranda while still married. Ya, it’s crappy that he fell in love with someone else and his first marriage wasn’t for forever yada yada, but he admitted it was wrong. Would it have been better that he stay married even though he realized he no longer loved his wife?
Bitter much? Relationships and marriages end. And that he’s married to another high profile person means they’re relationship is GOING to be talked about. Is it better that he just pretend like nothing ever happened?
Answer – NO.
