Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are “madly in love.”
On March 10, Gwen Stefani opened up to the New York Times about end of her 13-year marriage to Gavin Rossdale, the father of her three children, Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo, and spoke of how she and Shelton, who had parted ways with Miranda Lambert just weeks prior, helped each other through their hard times.
Shelton “had been going through literally the exact same thing in literally the exact same time frame,” Gwen Stefani explained.

As Gwen Stefani and Shelton leaned on one another for support, their professional relationship turned into a substantial friendship, and right away, those collaborating with her noticed a change.
“We had anger, we had sadness, we had flirtation, we had sexy, and now we’re madly in love,” songwriter Justin Tranter said of Gwen Stefani’s transformation.
“Never in my wildest, craziest dreams would I ever have seen this coming,” Gwen Stefani added. “I’m not going to say I’m not still picking up the pieces and every day isn’t a challenge. I’m still in shock. But it’s an awesome time.”
Gwen Stefani and Shelton’s relationship began on the set of The Voice Season 9 at the end of last year and has continued both on the show and off. Throughout their relationship, Gwen Stefani and Shelton have been seen multiple times in Oklahoma and Los Angeles, and last month, they made their official red carpet debut at the Vanity Fair Oscars party. They’ve also been spending tons of time with Gwen Stefani’s kids in L.A.
Because of her divorce, Gwen Stefani shares 50/50 custody of her children with Rossdale, so when she’s with her children, she makes the most of their time together by taking them places like the park and the movies. On March 10, she took them to Disneyland .
“It’s like, the most unjust, unbelievable system,” Gwen Stefani said of splitting her time with the boys.

Since Gwen Stefani’s romance with Shelton began months ago, the couple has continuously faced rumors of a possible engagement and a possible pregnancy, so when Gwen Stefani appeared to be rocking an engagement ring during their appearance at the Vanity Fair party, the rumor mill went wild.
On March 2, OK! Magazine shared a Life & Style report, which claimed Gwen Stefani and Shelton were planning a “rustic Oklahoma wedding.”
“Blake has made [Gwen Stefani] love the idea of having a real country wedding,” a source told the magazine.
A second report revealed, via Hollywood Life , “[Gwen Stefani] wants a corn maze and carnival rides, plus okra, smoked meats and barbecue.”
The report went on to reveal that Gwen Stefani would be spending a whopping $2 million on their ceremony and added that “the dress code will be ‘Southern dressy-casual,’ like plaids, flip-flops and nice jeans.”
As for reports of a possible pregnancy, they’ve been swirling since just after two weeks after the couple went public, and they haven’t stopped since they began. Still, however, Gwen Stefani has never shown any signs of being pregnant, and her boyfriend has denied the reports on multiple occasions.
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton will reunite on The Voice Season 10 in the coming weeks, when she begins her new role on the series as a mentor for Team Blake. The new season is currently airing on NBC on Mondays and Tuesdays at 9 p.m.
