Blake Shelton has firmly denied rumors that he and his wife, Gwen Stefani, are headed for a divorce. In a recent interview with Country Countdown USA, Shelton recounted the onset of these speculations, recalling that they began appearing around October or November of the previous year. He remarked on the ludicrous nature of the claims, stating, “Blake and Gwen, they’re split up,” as if they were no longer spending time together.
Shelton humorously highlighted the conflicting nature of the headlines, explaining that one week, the media would report on their supposed breakup, and the next, a photograph of them together would emerge, prompting a shift in the narrative to suggest they had reconciled. This cycle of speculation left him incredulous, noting that he now struggles to take anything he sees online seriously.
The couple’s relationship had come under scrutiny before, particularly following the release of their duet “Hangin’ On” in March, which some interpreted as reflective of marital struggles. However, Shelton clarified on Access Hollywood that the song did not mirror their personal lives.
Further feeding these rumors was their absence at the CMA Awards in November, even though Shelton’s song “Pour Me a Drink” received a nomination. Despite these ups and downs in public perception, the two remain united in their relationship. Shelton and Stefani, who first met while serving as coaches on “The Voice” in 2014, have been happily married since 2021.
Stefani has also addressed the rumors, sharing affectionate photos and videos with Shelton, including a memorable New Year’s kiss. She has emphasized the importance of having a strong spiritual connection in their marriage, often attributing her happiness to the guidance of God. Both Shelton and Stefani bring with them personal histories of previous marriages, yet they have found a renewed joy and companionship in one another. Their love story remains a testament to resilience, highlighting the potential for new beginnings after personal struggles.
