Gwen Stefani breaks her silence on Blake Shelton divorce rumors.
It took six years before the couple could finally call themselves husband and wife. But from the moment Blake put the ring on him, people were waiting for the couple to fail.
After all, Blake Shelton is a divorced man. Did he really get it right the second time?
Are Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani still together?
Everyone takes a deep breath: Gwen and Blake are actually still together and happy. And you don’t have to take our word for it; Gwen will be happy to speak for herself.
In an interview with Nylon Magazine in April 2024, Gwen opened up about her insecurities and how intrusive thoughts have caused her to question a lot of questions, even her marriage.
“The truth is that I’m in love with my best friend,” the 54-year-old shared after confessing to “thinking too much about her life” during difficult times.
In fact, it was these very feelings that led Stefani to write her latest song, “Purple Irises.”
“I’ve gone through times where you’re like, ‘Oh my God, am I just getting older?’ Am I cute?'”
Answers: yes and yes, but we digress. This insecurity began to spill over into her questioning her own marriage to Blake.
“Even though I know the truth about what is happening today in my own relationship, you still create drama in your head about your insecurities and what could happen.
“I was in that phase of the relationship with Blake and I became paranoid.”
Well, none of this sounds very good and even sounds like a one-way ticket to getting a divorce. But no, the purpose of the confession was to make it clear that she now has no doubt (get it?) that she is with the right man.
“And all this shit I’m thinking about in my head, that’s all – I’m overthinking it.”
Blake Shelton Divorced: His Marriage Before Gwen
The reason why so many people are convinced that the couple is having marital problems may be because both are divorced from their previous partners.
Blake Shelton married his country girlfriend Miranda Lambert in 2011. If there was a prom king and queen in the music genre, it was these two.
But like most high school romances, this one wasn’t meant to last. The couple lasted less than five years and announced their divorce in July 2015, just hours after things were finalized.
Since then, the two have had a passive, ongoing relationship, which only further compounds the mystery of why they broke up in the first place. Still, it paved the way for him to be with Gwen.
Gwen also divorced her first husband, Gavin Rossdale, with whom she had three children. The exes separated the same year as Blake and Miranda.
They met in 1995 and then tied the knot in 2002. They announced their split in 2015 amid rumors that Gavin had been unfaithful.
The Gwen and Blake rumors are over
But despite all this, since Gwen and Blake’s wedding in 2021, “insiders” have suspected that the divorce was just days away.
Then of course there are the fans. They started rumors of trouble in paradise when they noticed that Blake had not yet appeared on Gwen’s Instagram page for the first time in 2023.
NOTE: It was approximately seven weeks into the new year. SPOILER ALERT: He showed up!
But when he showed his face, apparently that wasn’t good enough either!
Fears that the two had cooled off on each other appeared to be confirmed when they attended NASCAR’s Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum in LA on February 5, 2023.
Viewers noticed that Gwen appeared to be enjoying herself during a cameo in the broadcast booth, but Blake didn’t seem to be having as much fun.
“They looked miserable,” said one onlooker Radar Online. “It just seemed very tense,” remarked a second viewer.
The outlet then tapped into their insider network and asked if there were any problems brewing, which of course they said they were.
“It seems like they’re constantly fighting now – they’ve even been sleeping in separate bedrooms after particularly heated arguments.”
Um, not to poke holes, but if you google celebs in separate bedrooms, some couples say it actually does wonders for their relationship!
But here too we digress.
Gwen says everything is fine, so we’ll just have to take her at her word. If something changes…we’ll talk.
