ET host Sophie Shellaci then asked Blake how he was coping.
'Well,' Blake replied wryly, his wedding ring missing from his hand, 'I got divorce.'
Meanwhile, just days after the divorce was announced Blake was seen pushing an empty pram around in an apparent stunt for the media.

Shortly after the photographs surfaced Blake's ex Miranda, 31, took to Twitter to tease him about the incident, writing: 'I knew it.... You WERE pregnant! This calls for a drink!'
He quickly responded: 'Ha!!!!! Busted... I wasn't JUST a fat-ass. Drinking shall now begin...'
The jovial exchange was likely a reference to the many rumors swirling around their break-up, with InTouch Weekly reporting that Lambert was pregnant.

The country music couple finalized their divorce on Monday, July 20 after four years of marriage, and almost 10 years together.
In a statement just hours after the settlement, the couple told US Weekly: ‘This is not the future we envisioned. And it is with heavy hearts that we move forward separately.’
Rumors regarding reasons behind the divorce have ranged from Blake being too committed to his job to Miranda being unfaithful.
