Miranda Lambert turned 42 yesterday, and her husband, Brendan McLoughlin, thought up the most thoughtful birthday message. The retired NYPD officer took to Instagram to brag on his wife, and here's what he had to say.

"Happy Birthday to the most loving, talented, and caring person I've ever met @mirandalambert. You had said yesterday that you read something that really resonated with you, "Don't be afraid to be a beginner."
"From following your dreams of becoming a cowgirl, to picking up golf and competing in the Ryder Cup. You show me every day how fearless you are, how willing you are to jump into things even if it may take you out of your comfort zone."
He wrapped up the message, saying, "The world is a better place because of you. I love you, and I hope you have an amazing birthday. 42 looks good on you??."
Miranda, clearly smitten, responded in the comments, "Thanks, honey, I love you." The country star met McLoughlin in 2018, whom she dated for barely three months before deciding to tie the knot.
Miranda Lambert Talks About Brandon: "He Calls Me On My Sh**"
On the Theo Von podcast, Miranda discussed the positive influence her husband, Brendan, has had on her life. Talking about how she doesn't like to surround herself with "yes" people, she shared, "[Brendan] tells me the truth. He calls me on my sh**, he tells me the truth, he doesn't sugarcoat, he sees everything for what it is."
The unlikely pair first met on the set of Good Morning America, where Lambert was playing and McLoughlin was on the clock, working for the NYPD. Lambert, who comes from a blue-collar family, discussed how this was something the couple initially bonded over.
"I come from a long line of first responders. I've got a bunch of firemen and cops in my family, and my dad was a police officer in Dallas. We're kindred spirits, even though we're from different parts of the country," she shared.
After just over six years of marriage, this couple is going strong. It seems like Miranda knew what she was doing getting hitched back in 2019. It's just like she said, "I feel like I've been through enough in my life to know what I don't want, so when I know what I do want I snatch it right up."
