As one of the most famous couples in the world, it’s inevitable that Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani divorce rumors would circulate sooner or later. Well, one half of the couple has had enough and is addressing claims that she and her former Voice co-coach have split.

Shelton and Stefani are both former coaches on The Voice, NBCs reality TV singing competition series which features celebrity coaches and their teams of artists. They met in 2014 when Stefani joined The Voice as a coach in Season 7 and started dating a year later. (Shelton, for his part, had been a coach on The Voice since Season 1).

Shelton and Stefani got engaged in 2020 and married on July 3, 2021. “He’s changed my life … when I [started dating] Blake, that’s when I felt home, like, ‘Oh, this is where I’m supposed to be, with this guy,” Stefani told People in 2023. She added, “I am not really a dirt person, a bug person, I don’t like that much humidity. But it’s so beautiful [in Oklahoma], and you kind of feel like you’re going into this vortex. Nature — and God — is all right there.”

It’s been years since Shelton and Stefani got together, but they’re still plagued by rumors about their relationship. Read on ahead for Gwen Stefani’s response to Blake Shelton divorce rumors and where the couple is now.

Are Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani divorcing?

Are Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani divorcing? Rest assured, Voice fans, Shelton and Stefani are still together and not divorcing. Stefani responded to reports she and Shelton had split in an interview with Nylon in April 2024, where she called the divorce rumors “lies.” “When you’re in love and have truly aligned values, nobody can get to us,” she said. “You can say whatever you want to say about our relationship—I mean, a week ago, we were getting divorced again or something. It’s just lies. The truth is the truth, and we know what that is…”

While she and Shelton are still together, Stefani confessed to Nylon that she still experiences “insecurities” in their relationship, which inspired the lyrics to her and Shelton’s new song, “Purple Irises.”

“I had been going through those times where you’re questioning: ‘Oh my gosh, am I just getting older? Am I cute?’” she said of the song, which was released in February 2024. “In my own relationship, even though I know the truth of what’s happening today, you still create drama in your own mind about your insecurities and what might happen. I was in that phase of the relationship with Blake and getting paranoid.”

Shelton added, “It’s an insecurity we both have. These are conversations that she and I have with each other: ‘Are you still going to love me when I’m old or if I forget who I am?’”

Stefani also explained how “Purple Irises” was inspired by her own evolution as a partner. “Every single reference in the song is about the insecurities we sometimes feel. You can’t hold on to time, you have to keep evolving and moving forward — that’s true with love as well. There’s all different kinds of love, and it always evolves and changes. That’s really what the song is. That was the intention of the song,” she said.
