Source Reveals 'Real Fear' in Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton's Marriage

Blake Sheltons latest album, For Recreational Use Only, includes the track Hangin On, a duet with Gwen Stefani that explores themes of breakups. Shelton has stated that the song is no reflection of their marriage. Despite this, sources close to the couple reveal that there is genuine concern about the state of their relationship.

The couple has not been photographed together for several months, prompting friends to worry that difficulties may be arising. Insiders note that their usual date nights and trips appear to have become less frequent, with the pair spending increasing amounts of time apart.

Shelton described Hangin On as a story about breaking up but still trying to stay together and emphasized that he was drawn to the track for its strong country appeal. Nevertheless, those near the couple have noticed the timing and theme of the duet has raised eyebrows, particularly given their previously public displays of affection.

Differences in lifestyle may be adding strain. Shelton favors a quieter life on his Oklahoma property, while Stefani is concentrating on her professional projects, including her planned 2026 Las Vegas residency. Their work together on The Voice previously provided a shared routine, but maintaining that connection has become harder since both stepped away from the show.

Although speculation about a split continues online, there is no confirmed sign that their marriage is ending. Still, the insider stresses that friends feel a real fear that challenges could grow if current patterns continue, even as both Stefani and Shelton remain committed to their relationship.
