From the moment the world first learned that Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are dating, rumors that the couple is headed for the altar have been circulating non-stop.
For the most part, Gwen and Blake have been coy about their plans, hinting that there are wedding bells in their future, but stopping just short of providing a timeline for their engagement and wedding.
Both Blake and Gwen enjoy the attention of particularly obsessive fan bases, and the hunt for clues that the singers are getting ready to wed is never-ending.
Now, one outlet is claiming that Shelton has taken an important step toward proposing to Stefani.
“Gwen was raised in a Catholic family and religion is a big part of her life,” a source close to the situation tells Celebrity Insider.
“Shelton converting to Catholicism is a final step towards the altar.”
And that’s not the only major change Blake has reportedly made in his lifestyle in recent weeks.
Apparently, Stefani has asked her future husband to quit the activity he’s most famous for aside from singing so that he can be an ideal stepfather to her three kids:
“Shelton has given up drinking,” says the insider.
If you know the man, you know that Blake’s drinking is the stuff of legend.
Shelton’s booze consumption is a significant part of his persona, but the source says he was happy to put the plug in the jug for good when Gwen asked him to.
So it’s sounding more and more like Gwen and Blake are getting their ducks in a row for the day fans have been anticipating for years.
Unfortunately, it looks as though the wait isn’t over quite yet.
“I don’t think it’s anytime soon or anything,” says the source when asked when Blake and Gwen plan to exchange vows.
We’re guessing Blake would prefer that the wedding take place sooner rather than later.
He went from guzzling bourbon on a nightly basis to choking down nothing but vinegar-y communion wine.
The least Gwen can do is reward the man by putting a ring on it!
