Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are one of the cutest couples in Hollywood. The couple has had a lovely high-profile romance for over seven years, starting with the beginning of their relationship in 2015 when they were both coaches on “The Voice” and continuing with their frequent social media posts about one another, where they constantly profess their love for one another.
The couple had to often avoid questions about any potential engagements after being together for more than five years and frequently gushing about each other in interviews and on social media. Then, in October 2021, Shelton got down on one knee and proposed to Stefani inside a chapel he had built on his property in Oklahoma.
The wedding took place in July 2021 at Shelton’s ranch in Oklahoma, and “The Voice” presenter Carson Daly performed the ceremony. Since then, the couple has been blissfully married and even performed together while introducing the other as their husband or wife.
Fans of the two singers have been wondering when they plan to have a child together, despite the fact that Shelton is a wonderful and devoted stepfather to Stefani’s children with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale.
Their dedicated fans were anticipating a major development in their relationship, and in December 2022, Life & Style Magazine delivered the news. Continue reading to hear more about Stefani and Shelton’s recent activities.
It was Rossdale, lead singer and guitarist for the band Bush, who was Stefani’s first high-profile boyfriend. No Doubt served as Bush’s opening act for a 1995 holiday show, and that’s when the two first crossed paths.
They tied the knot back in September of 2002. They tried to make their marriage work, but ultimately split in 2016. Their brood included three young men named Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo.
In 2014, when Stefani joined “The Voice” for its seventh season, Shelton was finalizing his divorce from Miranda Lambert when they first met. In their shared experience, Stefani and Shelton were able to find comfort, and Stefani even acknowledged that Shelton was the one who gave her hope.
“It went from dreadful to hopeful, and you just don’t know what’s going to happen next,” Stefani explained.
The world watched as they started dating, and their relationship developed into a fairy-tale romance quite soon. Shelton wed Stefani and her three sons when the two ultimately got hitched.
For Shelton, becoming a parent was a big step, but he handled it well. Being a friend and a role model to the three youngsters at the same time was described as “frightening.”
“It’s one thing for me to be with the kids all the time and be their buddy, but after a while, you have to remember that they start to listen to things you say,” he told the magazine. “There is a lot of responsibility that comes with that. I’m not sure if being a stepfather is easier, harder, or not as difficult as being a biological parent.”
Following years of infertility treatment, Shelton may soon find out if he is indeed a biological father, as reports indicate that Stefani, 53, is expecting the couple’s first child.
An apparent source close to the couple confirmed the couple’s pregnancy in a Life & Style Magazine article. In Stefani’s words, she “wanted nothing more than to give Blake his child.”
Their inability to conceive naturally led to the “Sweet Escape” singer undergoing multiple rounds of IVF, as stated by the source. But those early attempts proved fruitless.
“She’d given up on it because it wasn’t working and it was too emotionally grueling, but then she wanted to give it one more try,” the source furthered.
Sadly, endurance only benefits the patient and devoted. The couple appears to have gotten pregnant after seeing a renowned specialist in Los Angeles: “Gwen prepared herself – eating healthy, meditating, going to acupuncture sessions. Gwen has done it everything.”
