Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton’s marriage has been making headlines for a while now. After they missed the 2025 CMAs, reports hinted at trouble in paradise. Recently, a source told The Sun that the duo’s relationship confused their inner circle.
Stefani and Shelton have reportedly faced “real challenges” in their marriage. Their recent absence from the award ceremony, despite Shelton being nominated for an award, has added fuel to the rumors of a split. “There were times when the tension was high enough that people close to them quietly wondered if the relationship could take the strain,” the insider claimed.
The insider said that the couple had worked hard to blend into each other’s worlds but added that they were still “totally different.” “Those lifestyles don’t automatically sync. They had to learn from each other,” they source noted.
Meanwhile, the “Just a Girl” singer’s latest Instagram story brought their fans some relief. Last week, she posted a selfie, featuring Shelton kissing her on her cheek. It seemed like Stefani’s response to the ongoing split rumors.
Referring to the photo, the source told the outlet that it was Stefani’s “way of saying, without words, ‘Calm down, we’re solid.’” Another insider close to the former No Doubt member mentioned that Shelton had come into the singer’s life at a time when she needed “stability.” Furthermore, they stated that the couple come from “different universes” but has “built one home” somehow.
For those unaware, the “Voice” alums got engaged in 2020 after dating for a while. They got married the following year.
