Gwen Stefani is ready to marry Blake Shelton without an annulment
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton adore each other. They’ve been together for more than four years. Everybody wants them to get married. At first, I thought Blake was gun-shy about marriage after his second marriage (to Miranda Lambert) had a disastrous end. But I’ve revised by theory – Blake wants to marry Gwen but she’s the one holding things up. Why is that? Because she’s Catholic and she wants her first marriage (to Gavin Rossdale) annulled. As many Catholic commenters have noted, this is kind of bonkers – Gavin and Gwen were married for more than a decade, their union produced children and of course the church would have an issue with annulling that marriage. Well, maybe Gwen has finally realized that she was being kind of crazy?
Gwen Stefani is finally ready to take the next step with Blake Shelton. For the past year, the songstress has been desperately trying to have her marriage to ex-husband Gavin Rossdale annulled so she can marry the country singer in a Catholic church. But because the lengthy process is delaying their plans, sources exclusively reveal in the new issue of Us Weekly that the devout Catholic has decided she’ll marry Shelton — with or without the pope’s blessing.
“She very much wants the marriage to be recognized by the church,” says a source, but she also understands that Shelton’s been restless. Unfortunately, the process has caused “tense moments” between them, adds a second insider.
As Us previously reported in March 2019, the couple of four years “began the formal process” because “Gwen’s religion has always been extremely important to her.”
Now Stefani, 50, and Shelton, 43, are getting serious about the future. The second insider says the pair are looking to have a church ceremony in Beverly Hills and a big party at Shelton’s Oklahoma ranch. Babies are also on the brain. The mom of Kingston, 13, Zuma, 11, and Apollo, 5 (whom she shares with 54-year-old Rossdale), would love another child, says another source, but “if it doesn’t happen, Blake’s content with her three kids.”
Wow, did Blake tell her that he needed to put a ring on it or else? Way to go, Blake! I respect that – Gwen was being foolish with the annulment and a person can still be a good person, a good Catholic and a divorcee without an annulment. She and Blake adore each other – I hope they get married soon.
