Drama has been brewing around Miranda Lambert recently after reports surfaced that the singer is dating musician Evan Felker, who filed for divorce from his wife Staci Felker in February, E! News reports.
Felker's band, the Turnpike Troubadours, served as opening act on Lambert's Livin' Like Hippies tour on select dates in early February. A source told Us Weekly that things just "happened" between the pair while Lambert was still technically with now-ex Anderson East.
After the reports broke this week, Staci took to Instagram on Thursday to share a PSA-type post inspiring others to push on through hard times.
Alongside a teary selfie, she wrote, "If Staci Felker can make it through this week, SO CAN YOU."
All the speculation prompted fans to start weighing in on Twitter, with many admonishing Lambert for her perceived behavior.

I apologize for retweeting this crap but I just want to send love to Staci Felker who is handling this ugly mess like a queen. They broke her heart, but they didn't break her. 👏👏 https://t.co/3nxQSiXMXQ

I love Miranda Lambert, but her choices have been questionable in this situation. In the spirit of women supporting women, I want to send loads of love and kind thoughts into the universe for Staci Felker... Know you are so enough, and so loved, even from Australia ❤
