It’s kind of hard to believe that Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton have lasted this long, isn’t it?
They began dating in 2015, very quickly after their respective divorces from Gavin Rossdale and Miranda Lambert, and they’re remarkably different people.
Like, Gwen Stefani is Gwen Stefani, and Blake Shelton has deer tracks tattooed on his arm. They might as well be from different planets.
But still, despite the odds, Gwake has managed to survive for over a year and a half now.
Unfortunately, it looks like it could all be over now.
According to a new report from Life & Style, NBC executives were pushing Gwen and Blake “to act very affectionate and playful with each other” during the most recent season of The Voice.
In fact, they “really wanted an on-screen proposal,” but the season finale aired earlier this week, and obviously the proposal never happened.
And that’s because, in real life, the couple is “miserable.”
A source claims that Gwen “wants the world to think everything is perfect with Blake. But that’s just not the case anymore.”
“Gwen and Blake began to argue more. Then she started to realize they’re just too different to spend the rest of their lives together.”
They’re allegedly so close to a breakup that Gavin Rossdale is beginning to worry for the sake of the three children he shares with Gwen.
“Gavin is a very concerned parent and wants to be sure Gwen and Blake aren’t arguing in front of the boys,” the source explains.
“And he has concerns how the boys would handle a breakup.”
So this is all pretty sad, right?
It would totally make sense if Blake didn’t want to propose on The Voice, or if Gwen wouldn’t be down with it.
After all, they’ve always been somewhat private about their relationship, and we can’t see them enjoying something as gimmicky as an on-screen proposal.
But if the reason for the proposal not happening isn’t how lame it would be, if it’s actually because they really are having all these issues …
No one is prepared for that kind of sadness.
Remember when the news first broke that Gwen had filed for divorce from Gavin? She was absolutely heartbroken.
She’d been with him for several years, and she’d only had a couple of boyfriends before him … Blake is one of very, very few men to get so close to her, and losing him would be devastating for her.
We’re not ready to witness sad Gwen Stefani again. We simply cannot go through it.
So come on, kids. Work it out.
