Almost ten years after their romance began on “The Voice,” Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are under the spotlight, because reports of growing distance between them are making noise. The couple wed in 2021 after bonding over heartbreak from their previous marriages. But, according to an insider, they “have been spending an awful lot of time apart lately,” and sources say that it has become hard to ignore.
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton have reportedly not been seen on dates lately
Sources exclusively spoke to Star magazine about the apparent distance between Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton. One insider claimed that it is now “a talking point among friends and fans that they’re living separate lives,” adding that “a lot of people think the magic’s started to wear off.”
The pair met in 2014 when both were reeling from their respective divorces — Shelton from Miranda Lambert and Stefani from Gavin Rossdale. They found comfort in each other and seemed inseparable for years, often sharing their love on TV and social media. However, insiders noted that things have been looking quieter lately.
Shelton is content staying on his Oklahoma ranch, working on music and running his Ole Red restaurants. Moreover, he recently released a new album, “For Recreational Use Only,” and began hosting his CBS show, “The Road.” Meanwhile, Stefani is preparing for the demanding few years ahead. She is planning a Las Vegas residency at Sphere and celebrating a “No Doubt” reunion marking the 30th anniversary of the 1995 studio album, “Tragic Kingdom.”
The source said that Shelton is “all about the downtime when he can get it these days, whereas Gwen’s got a ton of commitments coming up.” Moreover, “the Vegas residency is a big deal — she’s excited about that but also nervous as it’s a huge challenge,” but “it’ll mean more time apart from Blake.”
People close to them also highlighted their big lifestyle differences, with the insider noting, “they’re both so different.” Hence, there is concern that they “could wind up becoming another Hollywood divorce casualty, even though it’s the last thing either of them would want.” Still, Stefani and Shelton’s friends hope this is just a busy phase. As the source suggested, “The priority is to get in the same room again.”
