    Blake Shelton has rubbished speculation that he and his wife Gwen Stefani could be getting divorced

    The 49-year-old country singer has poured scorn on the rumours about the state of his and the No Doubt singer's marriage and explained that they have contributed to his distrust of the internet.


    Blake told Country Countdown USA: "Starting in October, I think, or maybe November, I stated noticing these articles popping up about 'Blake and Gwen, they're split up.'

    "'They're not even seeing each other anymore, they're going through a divorce.' And then, you know, a week later a picture comes out of us walking out of the grocery store: 'Oh, they're back together again!'"

    The Honey Bee singer joked: "And another week goes by and we're not seen at the grocery store: 'They're divorcing!'"

    Blake explained how the speculation about his marriage has made him lose trust in the internet, particularly because of the amount of doctored content he sees of the pair.

    The singer - who tied the knot with Gwen in 2021 - said: "I see pictures of Gwen and I on social media that I really go, 'That looks so real.'

    "But I know I don't even own that shirt or, 'Whose car is that?'

    "I don't believe anything anymore that I see on the internet. I mean, nothing. I just don't believe it."

    Blake and Gwen, 56, celebrated 10 years together in 2025 and he explained how the pair's relationship "still feels new".

    He told People magazine: "It honestly does [feel like time is flying by]. Some of the things that we talk about, we're to the point in our relationship that it's like, 'Oh, remember what happened...' and you realise, 'Oh my God, that was eight years ago!'

    "It's like, how did this happen so quickly?

    "10 years is a long time [but the relationship] still feels new for me.

    "I feel like that might be the key to happiness, is that it feels just as exciting and new and happy."

    Blake teamed up with his wife on the track Hangin' On - which featured on the album For Recreational Use Only last year - and explained how they spend "months" discussing their collaborations.

    He said: "We live together, so we walk around the house singing these songs all the time and we have months to talk about, 'Hey, maybe you jump on that part.'

    "By the time we get to the studio, we're normally really prepared.

    "Gwen is way more particular when it comes to a lyric. I've never been as much of a stickler as she is. It's really important for her to be able to see herself in the lyric that she's singing vs. me. I've sung about going to prison, and there's never really been a debate."
