Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton found comfort in each other when they both were going through the concluding phase of their respective relationships with Gavin Rossdale and Miranda Lambert.
Shelton revealed his split from Lambert to Stefani in July 2015. This led to the Rich Girl singer opening up to the Austin star about the end of her own marriage. Nearly a decade later, the internet is now talking about their divorce rumors. However, Stefani has taken to Instagram to shut down such suggestions in style.
How the Timing of Their Divorces Brought Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton Closer in 2015
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton first met on The Voice in 2014 while coaching contestants for Season 7 of the hit singing reality competition television series.
At the time both were in relationships with other people. Shelton was married to singer-songwriter Miranda Lambert and Stefani was with British musician Gavin Rossdale. However, around a year later, both found each other bonding over their divorces.
Stefani told Howard Stern (via People) in July 2016 that it was “unbelievable that God would put us in a position to have each other at that moment, in the same exact moment.”
A few months later, the pair started dating, much to the excitement of millions of The Voice fans. In the following years, Shelton and Stefani regularly joined hands for red-carpet appearances and also collaborated to deliver new songs, including Nobody But You in 2019.
In 2021, The Voice stars got married at the country singer’s Tishomingo ranch. Considering how seamless and successful their connection seemed – both in their personal and professional lives, rumors about the ‘perfect’ couple’s breakup at the end of 2023 shocked many fans.
How Gwen Stefani Has Quashed Rumors of Separation with Blake Shelton
A report in Life & Style magazine earlier this month suggested Stefani and Shelton’s marriage is in trouble.
An insider told the outlet that the pair have been at odds about everything, including the parenting of Stefani’s three boys.
However, the 54-year-old singer-songwriter is in no mood to let such ideas fly without any reaction.
She posted two photos on Instagram, which suggests they are in love with each other more than ever. In the first, they can be seen wrapping their arms around each other. On the Polaroid, there’s a note that says, “Never knew a love like this.”
In the second post, Stefani showed off the flowers Shelton sent to her, with a message that reads, “To: Pretty Girl. Love, Blake.”
Further, Stefani recently spoke to People and shed light on their snack planning for Super Bowl LVIII. There’s no doubt The Voice fans will be eagerly monitoring their every movement (instead of the actual big game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers) in their attempts to figure out the state of their relationship.
