Wedding bells almost rang once before for
Brendan McLoughlin, the
New York City policeman whom
Miranda Lambert secretly married last month.
The NYPD officer, 27, had been engaged to another woman — fellow Staten Island native Jackie Bruno — until just months before marrying Lambert, PEOPLE confirms. He proposed to his now ex-fiancée with a 1.21-carat, round, brilliant cut diamond ring, set in an 18-carat white gold band, a source close to McLoughlin tells PEOPLE. The ring and matching wedding band were worth approximately $15,000, according to documents viewed by PEOPLE.
McLoughlin and Bruno’s relationship ended when Kaihla Rettinger, the mother of McLoughlin’s son, messaged his former fiancée to let Bruno know Rettinger was seven months pregnant with the police officer‘s child and had been living with him and his family, the source reveals. McLoughlin’s son was born on Nov. 5, three days after
he met Lambert, 35. Rettinger had no comment when reached by PEOPLE.
PEOPLE has learned McLoughlin then spent Thanksgiving with Rettinger and his newborn son. It is unclear if he and Rettinger were still romantically involved at that time, but the source close to McLoughlin believes there was “overlap” between Rettinger and Lambert, as the source claims he “had a history of cheating.” A rep for Lambert had no comment.
McLoughlin and the “Tin Man” singer
tied the knot on Jan. 26. The newlyweds kept their marriage
under wraps for three weeks before Lambert, who wore a
Lela Rose gown for the wedding, shared the milestone on Instagram on Saturday.

Lambert and her new husband
stepped out together on Saturday in N.Y.C., where their wedding bands were on full display.
“They looked happy and natural holding hands and strolling on the sidewalk,” an onlooker told PEOPLE. “She was beaming and protectively holding her ring finger,” added the onlooker.
