Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton have been noticeably absent from social media lately, sparking yet another round of breakup rumors. But the pop star’s latest Instagram post makes one thing crystal clear: the couple is thriving behind the scenes.
Earlier this week, Stefani shared a vibrant collection of photos and videos with the caption, “summertime blessings gx.” Fans were treated to snapshots of her daily life—from playful moments with her dog to indulgent food shots, scenic glimpses of their stunning home, and joyful selfies with friends. But it was the second photo that offered the most telling hint about their relationship.
The image features Shelton’s handprint set in concrete, surrounded by kiss marks—a subtle, yet powerful, message that the couple is doing just fine. For fans who’ve been following their relationship, it’s a quiet but clear statement that love is very much alive between the two stars.
Stefani and Shelton first connected on The Voice in 2015 and got engaged nearly five years later, in October 2020. They tied the knot in the summer of 2021, with Shelton officially stepping into a fatherly role for Stefani’s three sons from her previous marriage to Gavin Rossdale: Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo.
Despite months of speculation about their relationship, Stefani addressed the rumors in April 2024 during an interview with Nylon. “The truth is I am in love with my best friend,” she said. “When you’re in love and have truly aligned values, nobody can get to us. You can say whatever you want to say about our relationship—I mean, a week ago we were getting divorced again or something. It’s just lies. The truth is the truth, and we know what that is…”
With her latest post, Stefani seems to have delivered the final word on their rumored split. Fans can rest easy knowing that this Hollywood power couple is still going strong, enjoying life together in the summer sun.
