For quite some time, rumors have flown that Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani’s marriage has been on the rocks. Now, it is being alleged that they should go to counseling, but he refuses. At the same time, he is adamant that divorce is not an option for the couple. Keep reading for more details as to where they currently stand.
Blake Shelton Out Of Options
Before meeting Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton was on his second marriage. He had been married to Kaynette Williams from 2003 to 2006, and then he tied the knot with Miranda Lambert. Being country singers, they appeared to have a lot in common, and it looked like it worked. Unfortunately, they split after four years, and he went on to begin a romance with fellow Voice coach Gwen Stefani. The Ada, Oklahoma country superstar was the polar opposite of the No Doubt frontwoman, but they made it work. In 2021, they walked down the aisle, but it never seemed perfect.
Now, it appears they have many hurdles, but Blake is not the type to attend marriage counseling. The biggest issue that they allegedly have is work-life balance. They both work a lot, so it does not leave much time for them to be a happily married couple. Gwen and Blake need to carve out more time for each other, which counseling would allow. However, that is not something Blake is on board with, and would rather figure out alternative options. By the same token, he has no plans to go through a third divorce, per an insider:
“Blake went through so much turmoil when he and Miranda split; it was probably the lowest time in his life, and something he’d do anything to avoid experiencing ever again.”
Supposedly, Blake Shelton is completely in love with Gwen. So much so that he will stop at nothing to keep their marriage afloat; almost anything, that is.
Hey Jealousy
Another supposed issue in their marriage is jealousy. It seems that Blake Shelton is worried about Gwen Stefani when she is not at home or by his side. However, she has allegedly tried to make that easier for their marriage by coming back to Oklahoma whenever she has the time. That way, he knows that she is in it for the long haul and committed to him and their marriage. The insider went on to add this of Blake:
“But he misses Gwen terribly when she’s not around and can get quite jealous at the thought of her spending her time with other people while he’s thousands of miles away all by himself.”
Blake Shelton plans to use communication skills with Gwen Stefani over therapy. This is the way he feels most comfortable, and it may or may not be effective. Time will tell if they can make it last or if their time is running out.
