In February 2020, it was announced that Brendan McLoughlin retired from the NYPD. Instead, he now works as part of Lambert's security team, which gives him plenty of time to spend with his wife (per Us Weekly).
The two have also proven that love knows no age. There may be a nine year age gap between them, but more often than not it's McLoughlin who has to keep up with Lambert, not vice versa. "Brendan was holding the jackets and the guitar case today, poor thing. I'm like, 'Hey, thanks for coming to the ACMs, can you make me another drink?'" Lambert joked of their dynamic in an interview with People ahead of the 2021 ACM Awards.
Lambert gushed to the outlet, "He loves it, actually. He's super glam, like he's one of these 'Dapper Dan' type dudes ... Brendan's a trouper. He's just fun, and he's a great date, no matter what we're doing."
