The honeymoon is over.
The NYPD hunk who married country singer Miranda Lambert has been taken off patrol duty — because cops don’t want to deal with the public’s sudden infatuation with him, police sources told The Post.
“It would be hard to do his job with photographers and reporters hounding him,” one of the sources said, adding that autograph seekers are also a concern.
Officer Brendan McLoughlin is now working as a driver shuttling around higher-ups from his Midtown South Precinct, which includes Times Square, the sources said. They insisted the move was not punitive, and he still has his gun and shield.
Lambert, 35, and McLoughlin, 27, got hitched in secret, with Lambert announcing the nuptials on Instagram just after Valentine’s Day.
They reportedly met while McLoughlin was working security outside ABC’s Midtown studios, where Lambert performed on “Good Morning America” Nov. 2.
Helping to protect celebs has apparently been a typical assignment for the photogenic patrolman — he has been snapped in the past escorting actor-singer Jared Leto and former Mets and Yankees baseball star Darryl Strawberry in Manhattan.
