Reba McEntire says she never wanted a divorce
Reba McEntire got real in an interview when she talked about her divorce from ex-husband Narvel Blackstock.
The 60-year-old country superstar told CMT's Cody Allen she didn't want to break up with her ex after 26 years with him. The two finalized their divorce in October.
"The divorce was not my idea. I didn't want it in any shape, form or fashion," McEntire admitted. "So, it was really hard to make the adjustment when someone's not happy. I just want everybody to be happy in their lives, because our lives are too short to be miserable."
The singer said she turned to God when things went south.
"I prayed every day to help me have the strength to move one foot in front of the other, and continue on with what I'm supposed to be doing ... and then with my team ... and my friends, my family, my girlfriends," said McEntire.
"You know, you just got to have a great team of people around you that you love, and they love you, and I'm very blessed to have those people," she added. "I thank God for it all."
Apparently, McEntire's daughter-in-law, Kelly Clarkson, who is married to Brandon Blackstock, tried to help McEntire save the marriage last August and urged them to stay together though the two had been living apart for two years, reports ET.
