Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton plan to marry ‘before the end of the year’

gwake3

In the wake of the rise and fall of The Great Tiddlebanging of 2016, people are reconsidering their initial opinions of Gawke, the celebrity couple-dom of Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton. Gwake has been real for… wow, a year now? Is that right? Yes, it was pretty much a year ago exactly when Gwake started up and began showing us their love. And since Gwen is sort of dumb-in-love, of course she wants to marry Blake. That’s what Us Weekly says – they claim that Gwake will marry by the end of the year.

Don’t speak, Gwen Stefani! When asked during On Air With Ryan Seacrest September 9 whether she’ll wed Blake Shelton, the No Doubt alum demurred, “Everything is going so quickly. . . . I’m in the moment and, um, look at me, you’ve got me tongue-tied.”

Perhaps that’s because, as a Stefani insider reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly, the “Used to Love You” singer, 46, and Shelton, 40, haven’t even told their families the date. Adds a Shelton source, “They want to get married before the end of the year.”

Until then, the couple will stand up in front of friends, family and fans — and sing. At Shelton’s tour kickoff in Oklahoma City September 9 and 10, the recent divorcés performed their duet, “Go Ahead and Break My Heart,” before sharing backstage Snapchats. (In one of Stefani’s posts, Shelton held up an I ♥ Gwen T-shirt!)

“They are both very, very happy,” says a Shelton insider. “Blake is having the time of his life with Gwen and feels so comfortable around her.”

She plans to make her big day with Shelton — who was married to Miranda Lambert for four years prior to their July 2015 split — an intimate celebration of that happiness.

“Gwen has said they both want something more low-key than their first weddings,” another source previously told Us. “It would likely be at Blake’s ranch [in Oklahoma] or in the backyard. Gwen doesn’t really care, she is just in love with Blake and their life together.”

I find myself sort of… okay with the idea that Blake and Gwen will possibly marry this year. If it does happen, will it last forever? Of course not. But I do think they’ve gotten past the love-drunk phase and they’re sort of building their life together. By all accounts, Blake spends time with Gwen’s sons, and Gwen has made the effort to spend time with Blake in Oklahoma too. And yes, I would respect them more if they did something really low-key, like a simple backyard wedding. Not that they care what I think. I do wonder though… it feels like Gwen wants to get married, but is Blake really on board?

    Yeah, right.

  2. JFresh says:

    I still think their relationship is staged. Just doesn’t feel right to me. Do not get.

    Also this man strikes me as very unhappy and possibly with an alcoholic personality? Anyway wish them both well.

  3. OSTONE says:

    Gwen seems like a serial monogamist and dumb in love a la JLO. Always for that deal of approval from her man. Blake, i still do not know why Blake didn’t go for a Miranda 2.0. Because I would never put the two in the same universe.

    • Lisa says:

      I agree, OSTONE. It’s sad how needy Gwen is. I’m still hoping she’ll see the light and realize that a known serial cheater is not someone to be considered a Prince Charming. She should try being alone and focus on herself and her kids for a while IMO. They should be her first concern right now especially since her breakup didn’t happen too long ago. Being in love with love for someone of her age is silly. I wish her well, though.

  4. Josefina says:

    Not so long ago I was a massive fan of her. Now I just look at her and go “Oh, Gwen” most of the time.

    Ah, well. I still have her older stuff, and I respect her for making pop, comercial music that felt fresh and original. What You Waiting For? Will always be one of my favorite pop music vídeos.

    • Lalu says:

      Gwen is definitely not who the younger me thought she was. I related so much with her music back in the day. But it kind of feels like I grew up and she didn’t.

      • Josefina says:

        “I grew up and she didn’t” That’s exactly it.

        I do like her solo pop career though. Not more than No Doubt, but I like it a lot too. Her music videos just have an authenticity and originality to them thats so hard to find in pop music.

    • Amanda DG says:

      I agree. I’ve been a fan for 20 years and I love her music, but I have disliked her more and more since her separation from Gavin. The constant miracle talk, the overexposure of her relationship with Blake, the constant passive-aggressive slams against her children’s father to the press… I’m ready for her to go away for awhile.

    Don’t do it Gwen!!

  6. Kitten says:

    Good luck, hon. I hope you live happily ever after with this huge, HUGE douchecanoe.

  7. grabbyhands says:

    Well, that will end well.

  8. Lalu says:

    She is a woman in love with the idea of being in love. I get it. I am kind of like that too. But after a 13 year marriage and 3 children and with a successful career etc… I do not understand the need to hurry into a marriage. Hell, I don’t think I would bother marrying at all.

  9. Cinderella says:

    I thought this relationship was supposed to be fake.

  10. HK9 says:

    I never thought this relationship would make it for the long haul but hey, I’ve lived to see stranger things. Good luck to them.

  11. adastraperaspera says:

    It’s the marriage the industry has been looking for to keep bro country music relevant, so the cash will flow in. But don’t think it will keep fans of Allison Krause or Iris Dement or any other bona fide music artists up at night.

  12. Flowerchild says:

    He cheated on his first wife and he cheated on his second wife and trashed them both in the media does Gwen really think she going to be any different. Girl the signs are there he is a sexist, racist, homophobic cheater that’s what you want.

    For me the fact that he’s put it out there that he’s sexist, racist and homophobic it’s makes me question is Gwen shares his views.

    • DesertReal says:

      Well we all know the saying…
      Nothing helps you get over the last lying, cheating, straight up English whiskey, like the next lying, cheating, Southern Comfort on the rocks.

  13. Andrea says:

    It screams desperation if they marry anytime soon. Poor Gwen. I wish I could give you some self esteem.

  14. Liza says:

    Gwen needed to be placed on forcible Dating Probation after her split with Gavin…girl makes awful relationship choices and always seems sooooo surprised when things go south. Clearly, she needed some friends to lock her in the basement for about a year, with only Fried Green Tomatoes, The Color Purple and Thelma and Louise to watch…

  15. JudyK says:

    I just don’t get the cynicism here. They are too very attractive people who seem to be very much in love. I wish them happiness.

    • Flowerchild says:

      I don’t know what their looks have to do with anything, but the. criticism here is as I said above Blake is a sexist, racist, homophobic cheater and people feel Gwen could do better. Gwen left her last husband because he cheated and Blake has cheated on both is wives. Not to mention their relationship to a lot of people feels very much like Taylor swift last relationship fake.

      • JudyK says:

        I know the history, and that’s just your take, not mine.

      • Flowerchild says:

        His history is not my take its fact. He looked in “love” with his second wife and first wife it didn’t stop him from cheating on both and then trash talking them to the media.

  16. AgeofBellendia says:

    God, who cares?!?!?!!?!? NO-ONE. Go away! (remember when Gwen was a cool girl (not the Amy Dunne Type)? That’s over.

  17. Bee says:

    ……and no one cares.
