Is Blake Shelton Still Married to Gwen Stefani? Yes, Since 2021

Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are still married. They wed on July 3, 2021, at his ranch in Tishomingo, Oklahoma, and in the years since, no divorce petition, separation filing, or statement from either singer’s representatives has appeared. Shelton addressed the split rumors himself on the radio in January 2026. The couple marked their fifth anniversary that July, and they were posting about their household together as recently as this month.

Quick facts

Why people keep asking if they split

Shelton has said the current round of rumors started around October or November 2025.

A song gave the stories something to point at. “Hangin’ On,” a duet the two released in 2025 on Shelton’s album For Recreational Use Only, describes a couple trying to hold a failing relationship together. Neither of them wrote it.

Their absence from the CMA Awards on November 19, 2025 did the rest. The two watched from home. That month, a source quoted by Star Magazine claimed they were “living separate lives” and that “the magic’s started to wear off.” The outlet did not name anyone who had spoken with either singer. In July 2026, during the week of their fifth anniversary, InTouch Weekly ran a similar piece claiming they wanted different things out of life, again without a named source.

Fabricated stories about the pair go back further. In June 2023, Snopes traced a widely shared article to a scam operation. The page was built to look like a People magazine story and claimed Stefani had confirmed she was leaving her husband. People never published it, Stefani never said it, and the whole thing existed to sell diet gummies.

Shelton talked about the cycle on Country Countdown USA in January 2026. He described how one photograph of the two of them out running errands flips the story from divorce to reconciliation within a week, and said fake images have gotten convincing enough that he no longer trusts what he sees about his own marriage online.

The quiet that got misread

Shelton left The Voice in 2023 after 23 seasons. He parted with his record label the following year. He has said that stepping back and spending time at the ranch was what kept him sane.

Stefani spent much of 2026 on her own work, including a No Doubt residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas. Fewer joint red carpets followed from two touring schedules, and the gossip cycle read the gap as trouble.

Are Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani still together in 2026?

In February, the two headlined the Krewe of Endymion’s Extravaganza at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Valentine’s Day, playing back to back in a dual set.

In May, they held overlapping Las Vegas residencies, hers with No Doubt at the Sphere and his at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

In July, they both posted from their fifth anniversary. Shelton wrote that five years in, “every day is better than the last,” and addressed her as Gwen Stefani Shelton, a name he has used for her in public since shortly after the wedding.

In August, Stefani turned up unannounced at his set at the VOA Country Music Festival. He introduced her to the crowd, and the two sang “Nobody But You” and “Happy Anywhere” before he asked her to stay for a second song.

Then came September 5, when Stefani announced that the family’s dog Betty had died at 18. She posted a video set to “Nobody But You,” writing that Betty had made the family smile for 18 years. Shelton had the dog since 2008, longer than he has known Stefani. Betty appeared in the 2019 music video for “Nobody But You,” and when a CMT interviewer asked whether she got jealous during the shoot, Shelton answered that she was Stefani’s dog by then. Stefani added that Betty loved both of her parents. The household also keeps a dog named Ginger and a cat named Corn.

Common questions

Where things stand

Nothing in the public record points to a separation. The most recent word from either singer came on September 5, when Stefani posted about the dog she and Shelton had kept at the Oklahoma ranch.
