Miranda Lambert has a song to sing about her love for Brendan McLoughlin

The "Mama's Broken Heart" singer put her husband's abs on full display while sharing a tribute to him for his 34th birthday. 

In a photo shared to Instagram Oct. 15, Brendan reclined on the back of a boat with a beer in his hand while wearing only a pair of swim trunks. As he peered out at the scenic water with sunglasses on, his toned abs glistened in the sun. 

And that's not the only pic where Brendan's physique took center stage. Miranda, 41, also shared a snap of him clad in an apron while he cooked up something in a kitchen. In the shot, his biceps bulged out of his pink shirt as he stirred ingredients in a steel mixing bowl. 

"Happy birthday to my city gone country and honorary Texan husband @brendanjmcloughlin," Miranda wrote in the caption of the image carousel. "Lover of the sun, his family, friends, the kitchen, pasta, hot dogs, travel, animals and all things fun."

She added, "You are the best. 34 looks good on you ! I love you."

Decoding Miranda Lambert's Lyrics About Love

Of course, this isn't the first time Miranda has sung the former police officer's praises.

Back in January, the country star—who tied the knot with Brendan in 2019, less than a year after the pair met on set of Good Morning America—posted a sweet black-and-white photo of the pair in honor of their sixth wedding anniversary. 

Captioning the pic from their Nashville nuptials, she wrote on Instagram at the time, ""6 years. I’ll love you forever @brendanjmcloughlin."

As for how the couple maintain such a strong bond after all these years? Miranda has a simple explanation. 

"We kinda live on a date honestly," she told E! News in 2024. "Like, we really spend a lot of time together. We’re like best friends. Even when there’s time apart we really find a way to connect and always have date nights."
