Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton: Love Amid Rumors
In the world of celebrity relationships, few have captured the public's affection quite like Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton. Despite recent breakup rumors swirling around the power couple, Stefani has taken to social media with a heartwarming display of affection that has fans breathing a sigh of relief.
Rumors Put to Rest
During Thanksgiving weekend, the 56-year-old No Doubt frontwoman shared an intimate PDA selfie on her Instagram Stories that spoke volumes. In the candid snapshot, Stefani, dressed in a cozy red flannel shirt, smiles at the camera as Shelton, 49, plants a sweet kiss on her cheek.
This public display comes after months of speculation about the state of their marriage. Rumors escalated after the couple skipped the CMA Awards on November 19, 2025, despite Shelton being nominated for Musical Event of the Year for his collaboration with Post Malone, "Pour Me a Drink." Additionally, the pair hasn't walked a red carpet together since The Grand Ole Opry's OPRY 100 celebration in March 2025.

A History of Love
Stefani and Shelton's love story began on the set of NBC's "The Voice" in 2015, where they both served as coaches following their respective divorces. What started as a professional relationship blossomed into something more, with each finding solace in the other during challenging times.
The couple officially got engaged in October 2020 and tied the knot at Shelton's Oklahoma ranch in July 2021. Their blended family includes Stefani's three sons—Kingston, 19, Zuma, 16, and Apollo, 10—whom she shares with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale.
"We found each other at a very low point in each other's lives. She kept me from going to the absolute bottom, you know? It was like literally falling off a cliff and a hand reached out and caught me is what it feels like."
Shelton has been particularly open about how Stefani impacted his life. In a 2022 interview on "The Good Dish," he shared that she "saved" him when they fell in love. "I've never had that with somebody where it just felt like, no matter what, she has my back," Shelton continued. "It's the greatest feeling ever."
Public Declarations of Love
While the couple may have been quieter on social media in recent months, their past posts reveal a deep affection. In June 2025, Stefani celebrated Shelton's birthday with a heartfelt message: "happy birthday to my greatest love @blakeshelton u are my everything!!" alongside a video compilation of their sweetest moments.
In return, Shelton honored Stefani on her 56th birthday in October 2025 with his own tribute: "Y'all help me wish @gwenstefani a happy birthday!!!!!! I love you pretty girl!!!!!" accompanied by a selfie of the pair sharing a kiss.

Thanksgiving Traditions and Beyond
Their Thanksgiving celebration seems to follow the couple's established family traditions. Shelton previously shared with PEOPLE that their household has one golden rule for the holiday: "Never say no to any kind of food. Whatever you want to try, I'll try it. Just bring it on."
Looking ahead, Stefani has exciting professional developments on the horizon. In 2026, she will make history as the first female headliner at Las Vegas's Sphere since the venue opened in 2023. No Doubt will headline six shows, with Stefani expressing excitement about recreating the "electricity I have felt through all of our years."
As for their relationship, the Thanksgiving PDA selfie serves as a clear message that Stefani and Shelton are going strong, proving that their love story continues to thrive despite the rumors.
