Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton: Secretly MARRIED?!
From reports that Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are closer than ever to photos and video of the two celebrating Blake Shelton’s birthday together, it’s looking like these two are absolutely inseparable.
In fact, according to a new report, things between Gwen and Blake may have just escalated beyond inseparable and entered new, more official, territory.
According to what an insider told Life & Style Magazine, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton were secretly married.
The source claims that the two “want to be together forever,” which most of us could have guessed given … everything.
“So they decided to just do it.”
That’s a little impulsive, especially without news of an engagement.
(Well, except for what may have been a botched proposal earlier this year)
According to the report, they wanted it to be just very close friends and close family, including Gwen’s kids.
Apparently, Gwen’s three were not only included, but Blake had bracelets made for all of them, depicting them as five stick figures as a family.
That’s all kinds of precious.
A representative for Blake Shelton responded that the story of these two having a secret wedding was simply:
“Not true.”
Representatives aren’t officers of the court or anything, so they can straight-up lie if they really need to.
They also don’t always know as much as they think that they do about the stars whom they represent.
Because we could see Gwen and Blake, both having hooked up right after experiencing nasty breakups, not bothering with a big production and just getting married in secret.
Presumably after a secret engagement, though, right?
And they might not have as many of the usual concerns that stars do about a rushed marriage.
Gwen Stefani only had, what, one serious boyfriend before she married Gavin Rossdale?
This makes Blake her third boyfriend.
What we’re saying, basically, is that she seems to be someone who falls hard and “loves with her whole heart,” whatever that means.
(Which is also why Gavin’s alleged cheating with the nanny hurt so much)
And Blake Shelton projects an image of a guy who might just go “screw it” and tie the knot.
Also, where some stars might fret over pre-nups, they’re both loaded.
Gwen is worth something in the neighborhood of $ 80 million last we checked, with Blake worth about $ 60 million.
So yeah, there’s a disparity, but it’s hard to imagine that either of them are marrying for cash.
Even with as many details as this includes, we’re not sure that we believe this insider.
We feel like it’s likely that elements of that are true — the bracelet thing is so specific.
But maybe whoever it was misunderstood what they heard, and it was just a sweet gesture.
In fact, this little get-together sounds more like how you’d celebrate a private decision to get engaged, don’t you think?
There’s another reason that we’re not super convinced that this was a wedding, and it’s not because nobody was dressed in traditional wedding attire.
Gwen’s kids were there.
Kingston is 11, Zuma is 8, and Apollo is 3.
Now, most 11-year-old can keep a secret, especially one that’s important to their mom.
Some 8-year-olds can keep secrets.
3-year-olds cannot keep secrets. They absolutely cannot.
What exactly is the point of a secret wedding if precious little Apollo is going to accidentally “leak” it to Gavin Rossdale and who knows who else?
This whole story could even be the couple floating the idea of them getting married without a real engagement and seeing the response.
Though neither Gwen nor Blake seem the calculating type.
Surely they’ll have an engagement period, though.
No matter how in love they both are right now, they’ve both just “recently” been hurt in their previous relationship.
“Fools rush in,” as they say.
We were just talking yesterday about Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell’s wedding registry, and pointed out that their half-year engagement is going to be short, even by Duggar standards.
Surely this starcrossed power-couple will have a longer engagement than that, right?

Christina El Moussa Flaunts Bikini Body, New Controversial Boyfriend
Forget the bangs made by fireworks on July Fourth.
Christina El Moussa rang in the summer holiday this week by showing off her banging bikini body … while chilling with her shady new boyfriend a luxury boat in Newport, California.
Celebrity gossip outlets such as Entertainment Tonight have shared the sexy photos of El Moussa, who has said very little about her romance with Doug Spedding.
But a few sordid details have leaked out of late about the businessman.
For one thing, he actually dated Christina many years ago, long before she met, fell for and married Tarek El Moussa.
For another thing, the car dealer has been sued on a number of occasions for alleged bad business practices.
According to Orange County court documents, Spedding has not always been so customer friendly, having been accused in 2008, for example, of deceiving customers into purchasing a more expensive vehicle than they had intended to buy.
For a third thing, he may be equally untrustworthy in his personal life.
Some woman named Tracy Johnson-Diaz has come forward and shared text messages that she claims prove she’s been sleeping with Spedding throughout his relationship with El Moussa.
In one text obtained by Radar Online, Spedding comes directly out and asked Tracy if she wants to “f-ck right now.”
To be fair, as you can see above, there’s no way to validate whether these texts were sent by Tracy or Doug or on what date or really anything at all.
This isn’t exactly evidence that would hold up in a court of law.
In the court of public opinion, however, Christina isn’t known for having the best taste in men.
She and Tarek came across like a regular, very happy couple during the early years of Flip or Flop on HGTV.
But they separated in the spring of 2016 and Tarek filed for divorce earlier this year.
Both reality stars have been busy ever since trying to win the PR game, sharing photos of their new and improved bodies on social media, while also gushing over their two little kids.
Christina, meanwhile, dated the family contractor (Gary Anderson) last year, prior to moving on here to Spedding.
In June, an insider told Entertainment Tonight that the relationship was “new,” but exciting and full of potential to be serious.
“Christina and him recently reconnected,” the source said at the time, explaining that the two have known one another for over a decade and adding:
“She dated him before her and Tarek were together.”
As a result, previous reports claimed Tarek was very jealous of the courtship, but he swears this isn’t the case.
“She’ll call me and ask how’s my cancer remission, how are the doctors,” Tarek told E! of Christina recently, insisting that he and his ex-wife are on solid terms.
“I’ll call and ask the same about her, how she’s doing, how she’s feeling. We still deep down care about each other.”
This is a good thing because they’re sort of stuck with each other for awhile.
HGTV has ordered more episodes of Flip or Flop, meaning Tarek and Christina will continue filming for another few months, side by side.
Even more urgently, they are parents to a six-year old daughter and a one-year old son.
Both have emphasized again and again how these kids will always be their priority.
So even if Tarek is fuming that another dude gets to touch the body underneath Christina’s bikini, he’ll have to remain as chill about it as possible.
It’s all about the well-being of his children from here on out.
