Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton ‘Living Separate Lives’ as Marriage Hits Breaking Point Over His Hunting Obsession

Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton’s seemingly unlikely love story may be unraveling as sources claim the couple is struggling with major lifestyle differences. Reports indicate that the country music star’s passion for hunting and fishing has caused a growing rift in their relationship, leaving the No Doubt singer frustrated and distant.

The pair, who tied the knot in 2021 after years of romance on the set of The Voice, are now said to be living separate lives. With Shelton, 48, retreating to the outdoors and Stefani, 54, dedicated to her Hollywood commitments, insiders suggest their marriage is at a breaking point.

Blake’s Hunting Trips Causing Major Rift

Since stepping away from The Voice in May 2023, Shelton has been spending more time on his Oklahoma ranch, fully embracing the outdoor lifestyle. He has also wrapped his recent Las Vegas residency, leaving him with more free time for his favorite hobbies—hunting and fishing.

A source close to the couple claims Shelton is obsessed with these activities, despite admitting he’s not particularly skilled at them. He reportedly enjoys the challenge and finds peace in nature, but Stefani is growing increasingly frustrated with his lifestyle choices.

“She knew he was a meat-eater when they started dating, but she thought she could get him to cut back. Instead, he’s become even more devoted to hunting, and it grosses her out,” the insider shared.

Stefani, who has been a vegetarian since the age of 12, reportedly struggles with the sight of game animals Shelton brings home. The situation has only intensified, with Shelton brushing off her complaints and continuing to indulge in his outdoor pursuits.

While Shelton finds solace in the wild, Stefani remains committed to her music career and Hollywood engagements. Friends claim she expected marriage to bring them closer, but instead, it has highlighted their stark differences.

“Blake disappears for days at a time on these hunting trips, and Gwen can’t stand it,” the source revealed. “She’s focused on her career and raising her kids, while he just wants to be out in the country. They’re not on the same page anymore.”

Despite their deep love, the couple’s differences seem to be taking a toll. Insiders say Stefani is disheartened that Shelton refuses to change, while he remains steadfast in his country lifestyle.

With mounting tension and separate routines, those close to the couple fear that their relationship is headed for an inevitable split. As of now, neither Stefani nor Shelton has publicly commented on the rumors surrounding their marriage troubles.
