It’s currently unclear where Lambert and her new husband met, however, many are heavily speculating it was last November when she performed on Good Morning America in New York City — where he often works security.

“Back in Oct. when I performed on @GMA I told this good looking cop I had someone for him,” wrote musician Anita Cochran on Twitter. “He showed me his hand and said “no ring.”

“That didn’t last long lol,” he added. “Congrats to you both, @mirandalambert and Brendan McLoughlin. Best of luck!”
