Perhaps Miranda's most intense affair, according to the insider, was with Major League Baseball player Josh Beckett, whom she apparently saw for several years. "She wanted to leave Blake for him. But her manager urged her not to, because it would hurt her brand. She was only with Blake to advance her career," adds the insider.

Miranda went to great lengths to keep Blake from discovering her infidelities. "She was meticulous," says the insider. "She had a team of people who were liaisons between herself and the men, so that Blake would never see messages or calls from them on her phone. It was a whole underground operation, just so she could hook up with these guys."

According to the source, cheating wasn't the only way Miranda mistreated Blake. She physically lashed out on him on more than one occasion. "It was a regular occurance for Miranda to get very drunk after shows and at parties and hit Blake—to the point where he would have to restrain her."

Miranda didn't try to hide her out-bursts the way she concealed her affairs. Even her parents witnessed her savage temper once. "I heard Miranda hit Blake at her parents' house during a New Year's Eve Party. Miranda, once again, did not like something specific that Blake had said to another woman, and she slapped him hard on the face," says an insider.

Miranda's rage over her husband's flirtacious behavior may have steamed from her own feelings of guilt. And as her antics grew increasingly erratic, Blake became more and more suspicious of what his wife might be hiding. "So he hired a private investigator, who determined she was hooking up with an employee, and Blake flew to one of her shows to confront them," says a source.

"I wouldn't be surprised if she tried to get back together with Josh now," the source says, noting that the retired ballplayer may be hesitant about allowing the singer into his life again, since she's hurt him in the past. "That won't matter to Miranda if she decides she wants him back, though. She won't let anything get in her way!"
