Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani have been plagued with divorce rumors for quite a while now – but they are regularly trying to dispel the rumors by looking happy and in love on the red carpet.
The musical couple, who tied the knot in July 2021, may not be going their separate ways after all, as an insider confessed that their love life is actually better than ever right now. And it’s all to do with the “God’s Country” singer’s 20-lb weight loss!
Details On Blake Shelton's 20-Lb Weight Loss
Sources close to the 47-year-old former The Voice coach told Life & Style that his wife essentially refused to be intimate with him in the bedroom until he shed some pounds… and shed some pounds he did. 20 of them to be exact!
The source explained that the "Ol' Red" singer seriously changed up his diet, and swapped his unhealthy diet of frozen pizza and junk food with lean proteins, vegetables, and fruit. He also reportedly cut back on beer, which no doubt would have made a huge difference!
"Blake feels like a new man," the insider said, in reference to his new slimmed-down appearance. "Before, he was huffing and puffing going up stairs, but now he's darting up and down with no trouble at all!"
Blake Shelton And Gwen Stefani's 'Love Life Has Greatly Improved'
Talking about the 54-year-old "Rich Girl" singer's involvement in her husband's weight loss transformation, the insider explained: "She said no nookie until she saw improvement. It may have sounded harsh, but she had to make Blake realize she was serious!" They added: "He's tried to lose weight before with little to no success. But Gwen put her foot down. She wants him to stick around, and his unhealthy habits were grating on her nerves!"
Although the "Boys 'Round Here" singer was reportedly initially reluctant to eat better and called the new healthy diet "torture," he is now loving every part of it, including his appearance, his energy, and best of all, how their "love life has greatly improved."
The source shared: "Blake has more stamina and energy now than he's had in years. He realizes he really let himself go. Now there's sizzle in their marriage again."
