Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton‘s marriage has been the subject of quite a few rumors lately. After being attached at the hip over the last few years, some fans found it jarring that they’ve been in different cities pursuing their own music projects. Well, it seems that the No Doubt singer has heard the gossip loudly and clearly and she has a subtle — but not subtle — response.
Stefani took to Instagram to share a Polaroid snapshot with her husband of almost three years. Even though the photo is hard to see, the outlines of their bodies are clearly intertwined as Shelton embraces his wife around her waist and she cozies up by his neck. Written at the bottom of the photo in purple is a message to everyone out there who is doubting the dynamic duo’s marriage. It reads in purple marker, “Never knew a love like this” along with a heart. The image is posted next to fresh purple irises.
Fans showed their support for the musical couple in the comments with one follower noting, “So glad you’ve posted this so people can shut up about the dire circumstances of your marriage!” Another Instagram user added, “MR & MRS SHELTON FOR LIFE!!!” One fan summed up the feelings of many of their supporters, writing, “So sad people can’t just let people be … why not cheer for love instead of hoping for sadness and drama.”
The rumor mill started when Stefani and Shelton spent New Year’s Eve apart, which is definitely out of the norm for the usually close couple. He was on the East Coast for Nashville’s Big Bash while the “Don’t Speak” singer was in Las Vegas. She intended to be with her husband, but a last-minute gig popped up for her. “Last year I did Vegas, and I was like: ‘Remind me to never do Vegas again.’ But you sometimes want to… not be the host,” she told Access Hollywood. “So, I was like: ‘Eh, I’m gonna do it.’ If you’re gonna be working, then I’m going to be working. So, I’m just gonna fly in and out. It’s going to be awesome. I’m really looking forward to it.”
With Stefani’s sons Kingston, 17; Zuma, 15; and Apollo, 9, from her first marriage to Gavin Rossdale, getting older, it’s likely easier for her to take out-of-town jobs and prioritize her career more. With a No Doubt reunion at Coachella on the horizon for Stefani and a winter tour for Shelton, things are busy in their household — but the marriage is solid. Stefani is done with the rumors, so she’s ready to put it all to rest.
