Blake Shelton’s new album “For Recreational Use Only” features “Hangin’ On”, a breakup-themed duet with Gwen Stefani that he insisted was “no reflection” of their marriage. However, a source says there is “real fear” among those close to the pair, noting they haven’t been photographed together in months. The insider claims concerns have grown that the couple may be heading toward trouble despite neither wanting a split.
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton marriage fears amid divorce rumors, claims source
Blake Shelton’s return to music in May with “For Recreational Use Only” has sparked new discussion around his relationship with Gwen Stefani, particularly after the couple released “Hangin’ On”, their first breakup-themed duet. Shelton said earlier this year that the track reflects a story “about breaking up but still trying to stay together,” adding that he chose it because it was “a great country song” and “no reflection” of his relationship with Stefani.
However, Radar Online claims that the song has raised eyebrows among those close to the pair. The couple, once highly public about their relationship, has not been seen together in months. According to the insider, date nights and trips “don’t seem to be happening anymore,” and friends have noticed the two spending “a lot of time apart.”
The shift has fueled concern, particularly in contrast to Shelton’s previous comments about openly celebrating their romance. Last year, he said he understood why other celebrity couples go public, noting he once wanted “the world to know” he was dating Stefani.
The source suggests that their differing lifestyles have become more apparent. Shelton prefers life on his Oklahoma property, while Stefani is focused on upcoming professional commitments, including her planned 2026 Las Vegas residency. Their time working together on “The Voice” had provided a shared routine, but since both stepped away, maintaining that connection has reportedly become more difficult.
Despite persistent online speculation, there is no confirmed indication that the marriage is ending. Still, the source says fears remain. According to the insider, there is “a real fear” among friends that the pair could face serious challenges if current patterns continue, though it is emphasized that neither Stefani nor Shelton wants their relationship to fail.
