US Weekly shared a timeline of how this all played out, which was crazy.
Miranda Lambert Had an Affair With a Married Man, Evan Felker
In April 2018, Us Weekly reported that Evan and Miranda “connected” when he opened for her Livin’ Like Hippies tour. A source revealed that Evan and Miranda were “very much involved,” and their affair “just happened” while they were on the road.
As it turns out, Miranda and Evan’s affair included cheating in every direction, as Us Weekly confirmed that Miranda was supposedly still “dating” her then-boyfriend, Anderson East.
Us Weekly then revealed what Staci thought about this insane situation. She had been married to Evan for almost three years, and the source admitted Staci was “devastated” by his betrayal.
It even sounded like Evan got stone cold with his heartbroken wife because one of his “insiders” told Us Weekly that Evan filed for divorce before Staci did. Insiders also alleged that Evan “ghosted” Staci after the cheating scandal broke, and she had to learn about this through a “local newspaper.”
Us Weekly obtained bits and pieces about the breakup from other unnamed sources, and it was hard to know who to believe.
Evan’s Wife, Staci, Was Blindsided When He ‘Went on Tour and He Did Not Come Home’
The most shocking side of the story came from a source who claimed that Staci was trying to get pregnant before Evan left to go on tour with Miranda. This source also alleged that there were no “marital problems” between Staci and Evan, so she was thoroughly blindsided when Evan “went on tour and he did not come home.”
But there always seems to be another source throwing shade, and Us Weekly claimed that an insider dished that Staci and Evan were having “relationship issues.”
Staci took to social media in April 2018 and shared her heartbreak in an emotional Instagram Story. Staci captioned a sad selfie with the caption, “PSA: If Staci Felker can make it through this week, so can you.”
Four months after Us Weekly reported that Evan “started dating Miranda,” they confirmed that Evan and Staci’s divorce was finalized. Hold on to your cowboy hats because the timing gets crazier after this.
Miranda Married Brendan Mcloughlin After a Few Months
Just one week later, Miranda proclaimed in an interview that she was “happily single” again. Five months later, Miranda met a younger cop who was doing crowd control during her performance in New York City, and she ended up marrying Brendan McLoughlin after dating him for only a few months.
That’s great for Miranda and Brendan. But what happened to Evan, and even more importantly, to his jilted wife, Staci?
While Staci was probably the classiest person in this lowdown cheating scandal, she revealed her sassy side in March 2019. One of her Instagram followers decided to hit Staci up with a loaded question during an Instagram Story Q&A, and Staci delivered one heck of an answer.
Staci admitted that she’d held her tongue about Miranda’s wedding for over a year, but now, it was time to speak up.
She replied, “I did think [Miranda’s] dress was really pretty, and I wish she would call me and tell me how it was so easy for her to get over my ex because it hasn’t been so easy for me.” You go, girl!
Evan and Stacy Reunited and Welcomed a Baby Girl

Evan Released a Book and Said, ‘I Found Sobriety and Recovery …’
We’ll give Evan the last word since he had the most explaining to do. In August 2020, Evan released a book called Red Dirt, in which he revealed the shocking way he changed his life for the better.
Evan wrote, “First and foremost, I found sobriety and recovery, and I stepped away from the road and got a clearer view of the world,” and Evan added, “I got back to just being me.”
Evan admitted for his whole adult life, “Music was the only thing I thought about.” He finally sorted it all out, and now Staci and Evan have a beautiful family and a great love to show for it.
