Country firecracker Miranda Lambert’s former-cop hubby, Brendan McLoughlin, has turned into a couch potato – and RadarOnline.com can reveal she’s ordering him to get off his duff and find a job.
"Miranda is tired of Brendan lying around the house like he's on permanent vacation," our source said. "She’s told him it’s time to go to work and earn his keep."
McLoughlin, 33, was walking a beat in the Big Apple and working security when the two hooked up during her performance on Good Morning America. And in a shocker, the unlikely lovebirds wed just seven weeks later.
'Sponging off His Wife'
Blake Shelton's ex Lambert now faces a lazy-love crisis with Brendan McLoughlin.
But six years into their marriage, McLoughlin seems content to live off his 41-year-old wife, a source told RadarOnline.com.
"Brendan has appeared in Miranda's music videos, he's looked into taking acting classes, and he's dabbled in working security for her," our insider said.
"But really, he doesn't do much of anything and just being Miranda's arm candy is wearing thin for her.
"She says Brendan's even a slob around the house and he’s gotten lazy. It's put a real strain on the marriage."
Anderson East and Evan Felker once vied for Lambert's time.
As for Lambert, their union is a case of "be careful what you wish for," insiders added.
After her four-year marriage to country hunk Blake Shelton imploded in 2015, the Mama’s Broken Heart singer dated singers Anderson East and Evan Felker.
"Miranda thought she needed a new game plan in her life," our source said.
They added: "She didn't want to be in a relationship with competing careers.
"She wanted a guy who would be available to be with her all the time, and McLoughlin fit the bill.
The pair may be headed for Splitsville.
