Reba McEntire is Relying on God After Her Divorce
Reba McEntire has recently spoken of her life after her divorce with Narvel Blacktock. The country music superstar says it is God who guided her through her painful ordeal in the last few months. On August 3, 2015, it was announced in a joint statement on McEntire's website that she and Blackstock had been separated for a few months after twenty-six years of marriage. McEntire announced in December 2015 that their divorce was final on October 28, 2015.
McEntire says her belief in God is what got her through all of the changes in her life, as well as the support of her loved ones. "I prayed every day to help me have the strength to move one foot in front of the other to continue on with what I'm supposed to be doing and why he put me on this Earth in the first place," she says.
"You've 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 and I thank God for it all."
In 1989, McEntire married her manager and former steel guitar player, Narvel Blackstock. The couple wed in a private ceremony on a boat in Lake Tahoe. Together, the pair took over all aspects of McEntire's career, forming Starstruck Entertainment, which was originally designed to help manage her career. From her second marriage, McEntire inherited three stepchildren and gave birth to a son, Shelby Steven McEntire Blackstock, in February 1990.
"The divorce was not my idea," she admits. "I didn't want it in any shape, form or fashion."
"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," McEntire observes. "I just thought it was the best thing to take my marbles and go play somewhere else, is what Daddy used to always say."
