Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani Are Officially Dating!
After weeks of romance rumors and speculations, it is now official — Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are dating. It seems that all the hype that was surrounding the two had definitely some basis as the recent confirmation just came from Stefani's spokesperson herself. Stefani's representative told US Weekly exclusively that the two are indeed a couple, her exact statement being, "Gwen and Blake are longtime friends who have very recently started dating."
The flirty exchanges by the two on set in the current season of "The Voice" were hard to miss by fans, and many felt that romance was already brewing behind the scenes. However, despite continuous assumptions by many, the two repeatedly denied the news, passing it off as nothing more but two people exchanging compliments to one another. Both Shelton and Stefani have expressed to finding one another attractive numerous times.
However, last Halloween, the two sparked the rumor mill more than ever when they were seen attending numerous parties together. Despite arriving in separate cars, the two would always arrive and leave at the same time. Pictures released by US Weekly have shown the two engaging in some public display of affection in one of the parties. One picture shows Shelton's arms around Stefani's waist.
Both Shelton and Stefani recently gone through a divorce; Shelton from country singer Miranda Lambert and Stefani from rocker Gavin Rossdale. Initially, the two bonded over this experience that apparently soon turned into the romance they have now.
Stefani is currently visiting Oklahoma, Shelton's hometown, which started the speculation that she'll be attending the Country Music Awards alongside Shelton. Shelton attended the awards show solo flight, as well his ex-wife, Lambert. Despite being recent, Brad Paisley had even made a bit of a punchline to the two's divorce, which Shelton simply laughed off.
