Gwen Stefani is 'absolutely not' engaged to Blake Shelton
Gwen Stefani is taking her relationship with Blake Shelton "one day at a time".
The 46-year-old singer confirmed her relationship with her fellow The Voice coach Blake last November (15) after finalizing her divorce from Gavin Rossdale the month before. Since then, Gwen and Blake's romance has gone from strength to strength, with rumors recently emerging that Blake, 39, had even popped the question.
However Gwen shot down the allegations while appearing on 94.7
Fresh FM’s The Tommy Show on Wednesday (01Jun16),
"Let’s just take it one day at a time," she shrugged when asked
about engagement claims. "Everything’s crazy right now so no,
absolutely not."
Gwen has been in the public eye since she was just 17, when she
landed the role of front woman of band No Doubt. But being a
veteran of the industry doesn't mean Gwen ignores stories about
herself - in fact, it's just the opposite.
"Can you imagine the amount of gossipy, weird stories people make
up? To me, it makes me laugh every day," she said. "I actually do
Google my name just so I can see the next one that’s gonna happen,
because it’s gotten so out of control.
"The best part about it is it’s hilarious; the worst part about it
is that some people actually believe that stuff like that is what’s
funny."
Gwen's interview came after Blake opened up about their romance
with Rolling Stone magazine. Around the same time as Gwen left
Gavin, Blake was also newly single after splitting from Miranda
Lambert. So the growing feelings between him and Gwen on The Voice
came as a surprise to them both.
"We were starting The Voice last year, and I had to sit down and
go, ‘Look, by the time this thing airs, my life will have
completely changed, and we need to talk about this now because it
may affect what we talk about on the show,'" he recalled. "I just
felt like there doesn't need to be secrets. And then the same thing
(happened) with Gwen. It was like, 'Here’s what’s going on, this
show ain’t gonna air until three months from now, so let’s get this
talked about right now.'
"That’s how we even found out what was going on. And we just
started to develop a friendship after that. And it took awhile,
because it’s chaos. But just over time, seeing each other a lot at
work, it just kind of developed into that."
