Obvious tabloid story is obvious. As soon as the Summer of Splits claimed Blranda and Gwavin, you knew this was going to happen. Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton found themselves suddenly divorced and hard at work on The Voice. So with their newly single statuses, do you think they’re hooking up? Hm. I think Blake likes blondes, but I think he likes ‘em sort of young. As for Gwen… I just can’t see how Blake would be her type at all. I might need to tell my mom about this (she loves Blake) and see what she thinks about this potential hookup:

Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani became single at around the same time after divorcing their spouses. Now the word on the set of The Voice is that the 39-year-old country singer and the 45-year-old rock goddess have set their caps for each other and taken their friendship into romance territory. Blake and Gwen are said to be in the early stages of a blossoming romance and, despite their attempts to keep it ‘on the down-low,’ their flirtatious behavior at work has people ‘buzzing,’ according to Life & Style.

An insider told Life & Style: ‘They’re trying to keep it on the down-low, but it’s not happening partly because they’re all over each other. The chemistry between them is off the charts. Everyone on set sees that Blake and Gwen are falling for one another.’

They both just ended their respective marriages, and ‘the pain they’ve endured’ from rumours of their spouses cheating has provided Blake and Gwen something to commiserate over.

A source told Life & Style: ‘Now that they’re both single, everything has changed. The whole set is buzzing.’

As it turns out, Blake was the one who initiated the romance with Gwen, whom he admires for her talent and business sense and for her warm, maternal ways towards sons Kingston, nine, Zuma, seven, and Apollo, 18 months. Blake, who doesn’t have any children with Lambert, has always yearned to be a dad.

‘Gwen is a doting mom who comes with children,’ a friend told the publication, adding: ‘That is enticing to him.’

If Blake Shelton – who is beloved by many moms – decided to date a woman close to his age, a woman who is already a mom to three young children, I wonder if that would make him even more popular with women? I know I would like him more, so maybe that’s the answer. Still, I just don’t see it. I’ll buy that Blake and Gwen have a flirty, sweet relationship but nothing more. And I bet Adam Levine is super-jealous.
