It’s been a whirlwind 6-month romance between Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton, but it appears one half of “Gwake” isn’t quite ready to take things to the next level.
Radar Online reported over the holiday weekend that Blake may have recently popped the question to Gwen during a picnic at Gwen’s home, where Blake reportedly hid an engagement ring, a $1.2 million number from Tiffany’s, in a bucket of KFC. How…romantic? Maybe in the country music world, KFC is romantic, Bojangles or Church’s Chicken isn’t? I don’t know, I don’t know that world. Anyway, Gwen said no. I wonder if she shut him down privately, unlike those cringeworthy proposal videos at sporting events where the woman says no in front of a stadium full of people. Since they’ve made so much of their relationship public, I really wonder.
An inside source told Radar that Gwen said no primarily because of her kids. According to the source, Gwen wanted to “wait to make sure it was right for the kids.” Probably a good idea, as ex-hubby Gavin Rossdale doesn’t seem to be fond of Blake spending time with his kids. The source went on to say that she may be reluctant to walk down the aisle again after Gavin’s cheating ways, stating “Gwen wants to trust Blake, but she fears it could come back and bite her.” And if that’s not enough, the singer also realizes she’s probably not going to have more kids and worries that Blake may want to have kids of his own in the future. As Radar’s source put it, “She’s worried Blake won’t be happy in a marriage where he might never be a father.”
Blake is still with Gwen, so I guess he’s okay with waiting, and he told Gwen to hang onto the ring, which may be the diamond band she was sporting at the Wango Tango concert a few weeks ago.
Not only is Gwen being rational in the ways of love, she’s also scored big time in the cool Mom department, celebrating her oldest son Kingston’s 10th birthday with all of the activities young boys would enjoy. Gwen and Kingston, along with his brothers Zuma and Apollo, spent the weekend enjoying the great outdoors, probably at Blake’s Oklahoma home. The kids went fishing, caught frogs and went four wheeling with their musical ,om. The next day, they hopped a helicopter to attend Blake’s Legends Day concert at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indiana during the Indy 500.

Good for you, Gwen – on both things. I’m glad she opted to not go through with a premature engagement. Of course, some will say that this whole story is moot, as the couple has been engineered by publicists, but if they are actually trying to make a go of it, Gwen definitely did the right thing.

why is she using a baby carrier for a two year old?
Some are made to carry up to 50+ pounds! Prob just easier for her to move around. My back killed at 20 pounds but I doubt she has as much walking to do.
Don’t even understand the criticism…not like she’s hauling around a 4-year-old.
Because those guys and sneaky and their arms move like an octopus on speed. Containment is difficult!
Everytime I hear about these 2, The news sound like a desperate attempt to stay relevant. Nobody is buying this relationship and it just scales to the next step to keep you guessing. I guess the breakup is next. Geez
Nobody is buying the relationship? LOL Okay. Thanks for speaking for the universe.
I don’t buy it either.
I don’t buy it either.
I think the ‘Blake might never be a father’ thing such BS.
If she wants more kids, and he wants kids – get a surrogate. Bam. Done. With their kind of wealth, it’s not impossible AT ALL.
The issue is not so much carrying a pregnancy as egg quality at her age. But agree there are many ways to have children.
I dunno. I buy it to certain degree. There were in the same place at the same time, and they do have chemistry.
Kind of cute together as their styles are so at odds.
$1.2M ring in a bucket of KFC. Please no.
Why don’t they just sign up for a reality show and have done with it?
Popeyes Blake.Not KFC.
They really just should. The Blake and Gwen show. Then we would know we would have an expiry date on this relationship!
Such a made-up, bogus story.
I remember Blake saying his first divorce was an awful thing to go through, and he’s the one that wanted it. Divorces are still painful whether you are the one that wants out or not. And he said he wouldn’t rush into a second marriage, and he and Miranda dated six years before marrying and were married four years. And he was crazy about Miranda. He’s now on his second divorce. There’s no way he’s rushing into a third marriage.
If that blind item is true then these 2 are so fake. Gwen seems to push the relationship more for publicity
Are there a lot of blind items about this? Usually when there are, it is probably true.
I can’t get past all the makeup she is wearing on what was probably a hot and sweaty day with 3 active boys. Her mom style is ridiculous.
Uh, Blake, its a shomance, calm down
This couple just doesn’t work for me.
The real question is: was the Radar reporter hiding behind a giant potted plant in Gwen’s mansion when the oh-so-real proposal went down???? 🙄
Nothing says “true love” like jumping up to speedial the tabloids.
Her style is so out of date. Those brows, lips – well everything
I can’t stand these two as a couple.
I see her being WAY more into him than he into she. She has been the one doing all the cheesy Blake crap like in that terrible music video where the roller rink or bar is called “Blake’s”. No, I think that he’s in it for a good time, not the long haul. She probably is too but she’s REALLY in it.
Saw a video of her and Kingston at Blakes concert. She and Kingston were singing along to one of his songs and both of them knew every word to the song. Doesn’t seem so fake to me. They are nice people. And….I can see her worrying about him wanting a kid of his own. I would worry about that too. Valid worry.
I guess we’re finally coming to the end of the ‘showmance contract’. Finally. This has been painful to watch. Gwen, it’s okay.
And if there was any question left that this was a showmance, we now have confirmation. Yes, this relationship is a load of BS.
I think once the shock and pain of her betrayal eases, she may dump Blake. I mean, she hasn’t had a lot of boyfriends and I think she may still love Gavin. Being with Blake has made her forget her heartache, he was a means to an end. I think she has too many doubt’s to marry Blake.
I think once the shock and pain of her betrayal eases, she may dump Blake. I believe part of her still loves Gavin.
