Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani‘s rumored marriage troubles don’t seem to be getting any better, as the 47-year-old country singer has reportedly embarked on his Back To The Honky Tonk tour, with the 54-year-old “Hollaback Girl” singer staying back at home. Does the fact that she hasn’t joined him on tour prove that there really is some truth in those divorce rumors?
The married couple, who tied the knot at the “God’s Country” musician’s Oklahoma home in July 2021, will likely be apart for more than one month, as Shelton’s nationwide tour kicked off on February 22nd in Pennsylvania and will wrap up on March 29th in Kansas. There’s currently no word on whether the former No Doubt singer will join her husband for part of his tour.
Gwen Stefani And Blake Shelton Are Spending More And More Time Apart
Blake and Gwen spending time apart, however, isn't anything new, as there have been reports of them "drifting apart" for many months now. If you'll recall, they spent New Year's Eve apart as the "Rich Girl" hitmaker performed in Las Vegas while the "Nobody But You" crooner performed in Nashville. They also spent Valentine's Day apart, as Gwen chose to attend a Gxve Beauty event instead of spending the day with her husband.
"They've been spending a lot of time away from each other the past several months," an insider recently told Life & Style. "It's been frustrating. Their relationship of late has been a lot of texting and talking on the phone."
"Gwen and Blake used to be inseparable, but that's changed," the insider continued, adding: "Everyone loves them together, so hopefully this is just a temporary thing."
Gwen Stefani Is Focusing On No Doubt Reunion
The couple have tried to put an end to the divorce rumors on several occasions, including the time Blake supported his wife when she was inducted into the Orange County Hall of Fame. It could also be possible that they are spending more time apart because their careers are leading them down different paths, and they are no longer physically working together. I.e., when they both appeared as coaches on The Voice.
Gwen also has the very exciting No Doubt reunion to focus on, which could be why she isn't joining her husband on tour. Earlier this year, it was reported that she reunited with bassist Tony Kanal, guitarist Tom Dumont, and drummer Adrian Young for an epic and highly-anticipated performance at Coachella this year.
"It's just going to be cool," Gwen told People about the upcoming Coachella performance. "It's just going to be: get up there and do what we always do, which is play our music and try to connect and be so grateful that we got this amazing career that we never expected to have."
