I’ve lost track of just how many Blake Shelton-Gwen Stefani stories came out over the past week, but this one might be the icing on the PR-driven cake. Did this come to an NBC publicist in a fever dream? Perhaps. Gwen Stefani is 46 years old and Blake Shelton is 39. Would she get pregnant again? Is it even possible? Well, Gwen did give birth in January 2014, so you could make the argument that she’s one of those women who is still fertile in her mid-40s. Still, this announcement comes from In Touch Weekly by way of an unnamed source. The source tells In Touch: “Gwen is pregnant. She and Blake are overjoyed. He’s always wanted to have kids and now his dream is coming true.” I actually think she would be fine with having another baby, but… yeah, I just doubt this.
Now, on to all of the Gwake news that they wanted you to hear. This is just a brief summary of the endless amount of gossip about them in the past week:
*About a week before Christmas, Gwen went to Oklahoma and she met Blake’s mom, Dorothy. “Sources” confirmed the meeting to People Magazine. After Gwen met Blake’s mom, Blake and Gwen came back to LA and she introduced Blake to her dad, Dennis. Apparently, Dennis got along really well with Blake.
*Gwen actually did spend the whole Christmas holiday in Oklahoma with Blake and his peeps. They were seen and photographed all over Tishomingo, going shopping and going out to eat. No word on whether Gwen’s kids were with her?
*After Christmas, Blake and Gwen ended up in Phoenix, Arizona which is where they were all over each other and all over social media. They went to the Arizona Cardinals vs Green Bay Packers game.
*Then, this week, Blake took Gwen to Mosby Winery in Buellton, California. They took a tour and presumably stayed in a little bed and breakfast, which is where they drank wine, made love and fed eat other strawberries. That’s just a guess on my part.
So, are you feeling any of this? All of this? My take is that Blake is in the mindset of “just having fun.” But any day now, Gwen is going to start thinking of him as her future husband. And… I can’t help but worry.
Merry Christmas 🌲🙏🏻gx pic.twitter.com/n8ePUyLHpK

I can’t snark. I like them together. Have fun kids!
Yep, they are cute. And she deserves the best after this mess of an ex-husband.
Yeah I like them too. She looks like she’s enjoying herself, so more power to her.
I’m on the fence. I like Gwen. I used to like Blake.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he was toying with the idea of having kids. I didn’t expect he and Miranda to be together as long as they were, honestly. I don’t trust the guy, but I also think that under the right circumstances/with the right person he could be alright.
I just want a girl this time damn it.
Did I say I?
Also like them together. Blake seems to have calmed down, and I think this could work. Maybe.
Me too. I think they’re super cute and they seem to have a lot of fun together.
Yes, it looks like a fun PR generated faux relationship. I don’t believe this is anything other than covert promotion for their show “The Voice”. There have been blind items to this effect and wow but it sure sounds like that to me. So I find it rather nauseating to have to see more of it.
I kinda like them, too. I won’t deny they are exhausting, though.
I like that he always seems to be looking directly at her when she’s speaking in a lot of photos. I imagine it feels really nice to be listened to after what appears to have been a mostly one-sided relationship with Gavin.
I think she falls in love, and I would guess she will fall harder than he will. But both have only had 2 serious relationships. Who knows. Their lives are so different, but I think their disposition is similar. I hope they have fun while it lasts, however long that it.
Me too- always had a big soft spot for her, so it’s nice to see her so happy. Little worried that she’s only had 2 relationships in her life (Tony Kanal and Gavin), and she admits to being more in love with them than they were with her, but what the hell. She looks like she’s having fun now, and that’s not nothing when you’re dealing with the aftermath of divorce.
I am waiting for the “Gwen luvs Blake” reality show.
NW: The reality show is always the kiss of death. But wait……they fell in love on a reality show. Miranda could make guest appearances as the pesky ex-wife. Reality show heaven….lol
They should star in a modern day version of Green Acres. LOL
Well now she has a chance to have a girl. Wouldn’t that be a hoot.
Man, he looks rough. He looks like her father in that bottom pic.
Right? I’m just waiting for her to wake up and smell the redneck. Once that sex haze becomes a hangover, she’ll have some regrettin’ to do!
So I guess Gavin had the boys for Christmas. Funny that there has not been one picture of him and the boys. They seem to be able to stay out of the press and just enjoy the day.
I doubt Gwen would be pregnant. But it is funny how the media makes getting pregnant at certain ages a piece of cake.
A pregnancy in the mid-40s is possible for a woman who has conceived and carried to terms multiple times. Let’s wait and see….
At least she’s not dragging the kids into this. I like that she’s having fun!
A family friend had a baby when she was 48.She was not expecting it at all.She already had 5.So yes this could be true.
There was something on the news a few weeks back about a 48-year-old that had a surprise pregnancy. She had never had a baby before, went to the hospital with stomach pains and gave birth a few hours later. She and her husband were in complete shock.
My friend got pregnant at 46. First (and only) kid. No complications, perfectly healthy pregnancy. When her period stopped she went to the doctor because she thought it was menopause … imagine her surprise!!
So it can happen. Everyone is different.
Yeah, a friend of mine with three teenagers from her first marriage had a baby with her second husband at age 47. Then they decided he should have a sibling near his age so they had another one, born about 18 months later. All are healthy and happy.
That said, it seems a bit early in this relationship to be thinking about kids…
How old was Halle Berry when she had her last baby??? It’s possible….but, In Touch is usually full of crap!
I didn’t say it was not possible. But pregnancy over 40 is not always safe for the mother or the child. And the gossip media acts as if it is an easy thing. For the vast majority of women that is not the case. And in Hollywood when women of a certain age get pregnant it is not always by natural means. They are just not saying so out loud.
So what are you suggesting? She go get an abortion because it might “not be safe”?
Can you only imagine what a loving, doting man he would be with her? I still say it started as playing around and sending the ratings into the heavens…. Remember this song “I fooled around and fell in love”? I think it’s as much a surprise to them. I don’t think either are impulsive, or would jump into anything. I really wish them well.
I don’t believe for a second that she’s pregnant, but the fact that her “cravings” were plastered on the cover got me to thinking. I have several pregnant friends right now, and they’re always posting about their cravings on Facebook. What’s up with that? Do people really care what pregnant women want to eat? Do pregnant women really need to share what they’re craving? I’m not trying to be judgy, just genuinely curious.
PS- Gwen, you’re better than this. Now being judgy.
Yes, some pregnant women do get cravings. I’m pregnant, and went through a phase where I would have beat up an old lady to get my hands on a bowl of tortilla soup. I’ve had tortilla soup at every restaurant within a 10 mile radius of my home.
They’re questioning the need to share the cravings, not asking if pregnant women really have them.
No, there is no need to share. But with social media, does there have to be? As a play write, I’m more than happy to harvest any information people want to share; it’s all more voices for my characters.
Errrrm, yeah, some of you celebitches may have inspired some scenes/dialogue at some points. In the best possible way. Cheers!
“Playwright”, not “Play write”.
Don’t mean to offend:)
I ate gallons of fresh strawberries, and my daughter was born with a pink birthmark in the inner crook of her elbow that was the size and rough shape of a strawberry. At 6 months, we started asking her, “where’s your strawberry?”, to which she would point to the spot on her arm, sending us off into gales of laughter.
Babies are great!
My iPhone autocorrected me. It also changes the spellings of my children’s names to weird jumbles, ‘into’ becomes ‘ I to’ and always adds an extra ‘a’ if I pluralise a word. I think it hates me. I mostly catch them in time.
Sometimes cravings are funny combinations of food, and sometimes maybe the woman just wants to know that her cravings are normal. Of all the things shared on social media, I consider food cravings to be innocuous.
I enjoy hearing about them. They are usually funny to me because they are often as you said odd combinations, or food items that the lady in question might never normally want to eat.
In Touch is pretty much a made-up story rag.
Yes! I don’t care what you had for lunch any day, and you being pregnant doesn’t change that at all. Yeah, yeah, I get it, you want “weird” stuff or you can’t get enough of a certain thing. That’s cool, but why are you telling me about it?
I guess it’s just another facet of our culture of oversharing on social media. It’s harmless, but annoying. Funnily enough it’s a pretty good predictor of who will shortly be spamming my feed with endless baby pictures.
“I guess it’s just another facet of our culture of oversharing on social media. It’s harmless, but annoying. Funnily enough it’s a pretty good predictor of who will shortly be spamming my feed with endless baby pictures. ”
+1
Of course, people who post nonstop food pictures are annoying anyway. I’m glad that you’re eating so that you can stay alive, but I don’t need daily photographic reminders of your meals.
That just struck me as funny..pregnant/schmegnant ..who doesn’t crave Mexican food and ice cream??
As long as I can remember women have talked about their cravings during pregnancy. I’m now 70 so it’s nothing new.
She could do so much better
Exactly. It always struck me as a performance. I don’t buy them as a genuine couple. I also don’t believe the nanny affair story. Question these storylines, people!! There’s no way ppl like this would let such truly personal business become so publicly available
These two are a giddy PR dream.
I know, right? The thirst is strong with them.
“Somehow got pregnant?” I can’t possibly think how,
This is hilarious. I can just imagine some burnt out gossip monger in his cubicle at In Touch is chewing the end of his pencil and thinking, “now what outrageous nonsense can I think up this week?” And then deciding to go with the Gwen is pregnant, and scoffing Mexican food by the handful. It would be deliciously rich if it were a little bit true, and she had a girl. Two fingers way up to Gavin. I do hope her boys are doing well though, on a serious note, that little one is still just a baby.
Not a Kardashian fan at all but…. “Crying Kim stuck at 173lbs”. Didn’t she give birth like a week ago? I know tabloids are awful but they can’t wait a month before they snark on post -pregnant weight?
P.S. Gwen is about as pregnant as Jennifer Anniston. Not every couple needs to make a baby upon meeting the mother.
Rebound relationship for sure.
She must have and have always had (despite her outfits, makeup, etc) low self esteem that she does not feel adequate unless she is in a relationship.
I’m old enough to remember her horrendous on/off relationship with her ex husband, who she eventually married and predictably the relationship went south after three kids.
Anyone could see the writing on the wall with that. This relationship will end in tears as well.
At first I thought this was a PR driven rebound romance stunt, but hasn’t Blake been in a continuous relationship pattern for years?
HE may be the type who wants to be in a relationship as well (even though he may have extra-curricular stuff going on at times).
yep, I think Blake did exactly what he did with marriage # 1 – left for the new love of his life. I don’t really believe the hype that seems to be taken as fact re Miranda
sooo all the nineties / early 2000s cool kids remember when gwen was like this rock goddess…. it was awesome like she was everything…. no vanity in remaining this untouchable jean harlow wanna be personality….. she had kinky pink hair, blue bantu knots (mini knots to white ppl), henna the next ….. it was like cultural influences/appreciation not appropriation all the while writing some deeply personal yet classic tunes…. and no doubt … i mean just forget about it ….. they birthed (paramour and these other girl leading pop rock ska bands)
and now she a stick thin blonde who does pap walk…. like omg… this hurts to see
This!!^
Yes! Everything you said. Now she’s desperate with this douche. What happened!!!???? Ugh
They all seem to want to settle into respectability and stability after a wild phase.
It was called sowing wild oats something or other in the olden days. Though back then it was only for men.
I’ve been really surprised by her desperation. She always seemed kind of cool and confident in herself, but this ridiculous selfie parade with that guy is just baffling and stupid.
Eh, even though it is so in your face, it is not annoying me.
*Puts on tin foil hat* I wonder if this is so in your face so that the network can faze out Christina. Testing the waters for audience reaction. *Takes off tin foil hat*
BARF
So sick of them. It’s really really .. annoying. I’m almost begging to have more kardashian news, so I can have a palate cleanser, because this couple is just everywhere and I just cannot deal with it anymore.
Phew, now that that’s out of my chest, I just wanted to say if this is her strategy to boost her career, her new song isnt really that great. She needs to get with Pharrell and those people who can make hits.
Ah.. Snark is out my system. 🙂
More importantly on that cover…Don & Betty are dating?!!!
LOOK AT US!!!!!!
Maybe they are in love but I can’t get living portions of your relationship on social media.
Name him the Hills of Billy……no offense to my country friends….lol
The guy on the left at the game seems as genuinely confused by this couple as I am, but hey, get your groove on, Gwen!
It’s her brother.
If she is pregnant at 46, don’t anyone dare tell Michelle Duggar.
Having been to Tishomingo, OK, I now believe this relationship is real. Nobody would go there just for PR.
She looks so different without all the makeup. Younger, I think. Maybe she can just relax with Blake. That’s not a bad thing.
I will say….I have never seen her smile so much…the past few years, she always looked so unhappy…either she is thrilled to be rid of Gavin or Blake is a master in the bedroom!! She can’t wipe that smile off her face, now!!!!
Pregnant?? Please. They are as real as Tom Cruise’s listed height. My god, it’s like a studio romance from the 40’s or something. Is “The Voice” pulling their strings or what? And if she thinks for real he’s a keeper, she has got awful judgement skills as far as men go…oh, wait..Gavin..
Nice to see her without the makeup in that little Twitter clip.
Blake doesn’t seem to give off the same high maintenance vibes as Gavin. Maybe that’s a relief and she’s just enjoying herself(especially after the public humiliation of the clone nanny.)
Considering that Gwen can’t go anywhere without a load of makeup and dressed to the nines, I would say she’s pretty high maintenance herself and she and Gavin were well matched. Yes, I know she said she wore all of that stuff because Gavin preferred her that way, but they aren’t together and she’s still laying on everything really thick.
Blake looks waaaaaaaaay older than what he is. Geez. That’s a rough 39. By the time he’s in his 40s…Zoicks!
People talk about how weird Ben Affleck and Jen Garner were/are as a couple — and I felt the same way when they first got together, too — but I think these two are an even odder match.
She really wants xtina’s chair for the next season of the voice. Execs prob told her to sell it and they may bring her back sooner
Correct me if I’m wrong but she divorced Gavin because he cheated on her and she doesn’t want to be with a cheater right? So the logical solution would be to start dating another known cheater?
Exactly!
Not to mention, he’s also a turtle killer. Complete deal-breaker for me!
She is the blond Kardassian, he is the drunk Blake. So much about all of this carries such a ‘yuk’ factor. When he dumps her, her mid-life crisis will explode. Next. she’ll be papped with Klohie & Disick.
Over exposed….
Of course it’s possible. It’s practically the norm here now. All my colleagues are 40-50 by the time they are having their kids.
Who wants a teen in their 60s though? !
