Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani’s marriage faces whispers of growing distance less than three years after tying the knot.

Blake Shelton marks his final semi-finals as a coach

Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani, who have been married for under three years, are rumored to be growing distant.

They first connected in 2014 as coaches on The Voice and married in July 2021.

Recent talks suggest their relationship is strained due to increased time spent separately.

Fans began suspecting trouble when Gwen, 54, cleared her social media of all Blake’s photos in late December.

Concerns grew when they celebrated New Year’s Eve separately, with Blake in Nashville and Gwen hosting a Las Vegas party.

Following the holidays, an insider told Life & Style that Blake was notably upset and let down about not being able to celebrate with his wife. The source claimed that Blake and Gwen’s marriage is facing challenges.

“Gwen and Blake’s marriage is definitely in trouble,” the source dished. “Lately, they’ve been at odds about everything from career decisions and the parenting of her three boys to where they spend most of their time. The tension continues to grow, and Blake and Gwen are drifting apart as a result.”

However, they did spend time together the previous week at a Utah ski resort with Gwen’s sons, whose father is her ex-husband, Gavin Rossdale.

That said, photos from their vacation captured Blake and Gwen appearing strained, and notably, Blake didn’t join Gwen and her kids for skiing.

The pair haven’t publicly addressed these rumored issues in their marriage.

Yet, Blake has been increasingly distant, often away from Gwen and their family. He’s been busy with a new venture, his restaurant and bar, Ole Red, which he recently showcased on NBC Today, set to open in Las Vegas soon.
