Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton have been one of the most publicly affectionate couples we’ve seen, and their romance has shown no signs of slowing down.
And now, Shelton is ready to take the next step in their relationship by making Stefani his wife.
After six months together, Shelton popped the question to his new lady during a romantic indoor picnic at her house.
The country singer pulled the old hide-the-ring-in-food trick, burying a $ 1.2 million engagement stunner from Tiffany in a bucket of KFC.
(Isn’t that just so Blake?)
But Stefani’s response might surprise you, Gwake fans.
SHE SAID NO.
That’s right, NO. N-O. Negative.
“Gwen was very touched, but said she had to wait to make sure it was right for the kids,” a source told Radar.
Interesting, because Stefani’s ex Gavin Rossdale recently called a “secret meeting” with her to discuss the three sons they share, Kingston, 10, Zuma, 7, and Apollo, 2.
Rossdale reportedly isn’t thrilled with his kids spending so much time with Shelton, apparently fearing the singer might try to replace their father.
Also, he’s super jelly of Shelton and wants his wife back, they say.
Could Rossdale have affected Stefani’s decision?
Maybe, but Stefani apparently also has reservations about marrying Shelton because of trust issues stemming from Rossdale’s infidelity during their marriage (if you hadn’t heard, he cheated with the nanny).
“Gwen wants to trust Blake, but she fears it could come back and bite her,” the insider added.
Oh, but there’s more. Stefani, who at 46 likely won’t have more children, is scared that Shelton won’t be fulfilled in a marriage in which he can’t have kids.
Sounds like the No Doubt singer has, well, a lot of doubt.
