Early Life and Career
Limited information is available about Kaynette’s childhood, her family, education, and life before she met Blake Shelton.

Her mother on the other hand worked in a private school. She grew up in a relatively wealthy family and never really had any problems financially.

Relationship, Marriage, and Divorce
According to reports, Williams met Shelton after she had matriculated from high school; both are from the same hometown of Ada, and they started a long term relationship. In 2003 after years of dating, the two married at Gatlinburg, Tennessee, in a small ceremony. After their marriage, she took more of a background role to her husband, supporting him as he forayed further into music.
However, after three years the two decided to divorce; they didn’t have children. After the divorce was done, she made a public statement alleging that her former husband was guilty of inappropriate marital conduct. A year before their divorce, he started dating singer Miranda Lambert whom he met at the “100 Greatest Duets Concert”. The two worked together for several projects leading to their relationship. He later married Lambert in 2011.
Personal Life and Current Endeavors
Since their divorce, Kaynette has moved on with her life, and also moved away from doing presenting duties; the last heard about her was that she was working as a math teacher at an elementary school. She also began a relationship with Cody Joe Scheck, who is the world record holder for steer-roping, a rodeo activity. Aside from their relationship, she is a womens rights activist and has worked with several organizations that help tackle problems with women in society.
She also enjoys literature, and according to her it is her passion. There are rumors going around about her sexuality, but she denied all of these rumors. The spotlight and coverage of her has been very little since her divorce, as her former husband has also moved on with his life, although attracting more controversy when he divorced Lambert in 2015. Rumors were going around that he had started a relationship with fellow “The Voice” judge Gwen Stefani, and it was confirmed that the two were dating a few months later. The events reflect the same issue that went on during his first marriage.
Well. Hm. You left out that Blake was her 2nd husband. He did not “date” Lambert until after he filed for divorce. A well known producer Bobby Braddock said Blake and Kay were on the outs before he met Miranda. Divorce was going to happen regardless. Blake took the blame for this. Owned it. They were friends and said he should have never married for that reason.
Interesting how that tidbit wouldn’t make it as “interesting” for the gossip mill. No need to add facts that brings light on to the subject so that perspective might be a possibility…. no, it’s best if we let the media decide for us how to view events, right? That’s how propaganda works…. fortunately it’s not THAT bad in the US but ANY is not good. All reporting should be UNbiased and truthful. There will always be some who will believe anything they see/read… no questions asked. What a scary way to live.
PS… the beginning of my statement is quite sarcastic… don’t want any confustion….
