Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton found love on The Voice . But now, after a series of battle rounds that took place behind the scenes rather than as a feature on the show, rumors are swirling that the lovebirds may leave the singing competition permanently. And fans also have speculated that Adam Levine is ready to exit his coach chair on The Voice , as well.
Among the issues contributing to those rumors, Christina Aguilera reportedly fired up a feud with the other coaches, according to Radar Online .
That feud began when producers tempted Blake and Gwen a bonus for their duets on-air, with Christina described as having a “meltdown” when she learned that her colleagues were earning extra bucks.
“Christina wants Gwen out of the picture and is already throwing mini-tantrums about it,” revealed a source to Radar. “She said that Gwen is ‘not vocally talented’ and would not be on the show at all anymore if it was not for her relationship with Blake.”
However, one contestant claims that Aguilera is innocent. Recently eliminated from The Voice , Nick Hagelin shared his faith in Christina.
“We were all leaving the sound stage on Tuesday and my son asked her to sign his cast,” he revealed. “She dropped everything and signed it for him. That’s how sweet she is. She has a reputation of being a diva, but she’s the sweetest, kindest person.”
However, although that contestant described Aguilera as innocent, is someone else responsible for pushing Gwen to the point where she wants to leave The Voice and never return, taking Blake with her?
The next season of The Voice calls for Pharell Williams and Christina Aguilera to be replaced by Alicia Keys and Miley Cyrus. Stefani was reportedly so angry that she was not invited to return as a coach that she may never come back, with Shelton joining her on the way out the door, according to News Every Day .
After learning about Gwen’s battle with producers, Blake is considering leaving with her. In addition to showing his support for his girlfriend, the exit would give him time to focus on his country music.
When it comes to coaches with staying power, Shelton and his buddy Adam Levine have stuck it out season after season. But is it time to sing farewell?
As for Levine, he recently responded to those reports that he is leaving The Voice , reported ET .
Adam and his wife Behati Prinsloo are looking forward to welcoming their first child. At this point, Levine supposedly is returning to his coach chair on the reality singing competition with Shelton, Miley and Alicia. However, members of his team assumed that Adam would exit The Voice after the birth of his baby.
“We didn’t know that Adam would be leaving to have his family next year, so, I mean, it’s so awesome to have the opportunity to have him as a coach,” stated season 10 contestant Laith Al-Saadi.
Did she spill a secret, or come up with that theory that Levine would leave due to fan speculation? Adam avoided a direct denial, instead joking about the comment from the contestant.
“Oh man. I’m gonna leave here and I don’t even know where I’m going. I don’t think that far ahead. We’ll see,” teased Levine.
Questioned as to how balancing career, family and baby, Adam kept his response light.
“Using your brain too much, you’re gonna hurt yourself,” mocked Levine.
But does his reported feud with Miley have something to do with the rumors that Adam may join Blake and Gwen in exiting The Voice ?
A production source told Us Weekly that Levine and Cyrus have been battling , with Miley egging on Adam.
“They find each other annoying. Adam would get agitated when Miley would interrupt him, and she enjoyed getting under his skin.”
In addition, the feud between Levine and Cyrus has heated up to the point where producers are worrying that they made a mistake by choosing the “ Wrecking Ball ” singer, according to Radar ‘s insider.
“Adam and Miley were non-stop bickering during their last taping together,” shared the insider. “He nitpicks almost every single thing she says….Executives are now second-guessing their decision to bring Miley Cyrus on full time because she cannot get along with Adam to save her life!”
