Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton have quietly put an end to swirling rumors about a split. According to a new insider report, the couple is gearing up for a calm, intimate holiday season at their Oklahoma ranch — a choice that speaks louder than any statement.
Speculation about trouble in their marriage escalated earlier this month after the pair skipped the 2025 Country Music Association Awards, where Shelton was nominated for Musical Event of the Year. Their absence prompted widespread online chatter, but sources say the couple chose to stay home rather than attend the event.
A Low-Key Holiday in Oklahoma
A source told E! News that Stefani and Shelton plan to keep their upcoming holiday celebrations simple and family-focused. “The family will be celebrating the holidays in Oklahoma,” the insider shared, adding that the couple is avoiding anything lavish this year in favor of a more grounded, cozy gathering.
Their Oklahoma property has long been special to them. In a previous interview, Shelton revealed that Stefani loves the home, and he once recalled discovering a historic structure on the land during the pandemic. “During the pandemic we came across this very old building on the land, and there were some purple irises — someone must have planted them centuries ago, but they’ve survived,” he told The Guardian. The couple has returned to the property often, finding it a place of peace and togetherness.
Rumors Swirl After CMA Absence
Their no-show at the 2025 CMAs fueled speculation that something was amiss. But according to an insider, the choice to watch the ceremony from home had nothing to do with marital issues. The “Voice” veterans simply preferred a quiet night in rather than facing the awards-show spotlight.
From Co-Stars to Spouses
Stefani and Shelton first met in 2014 while both were coaches on The Voice. At the time, each was still married — Stefani to Gavin Rossdale, and Shelton to Miranda Lambert. After their respective divorces, the pair grew closer, eventually beginning a relationship that quickly became a fan-favorite romance story. They got engaged in 2020 and married in 2021.
With their holiday plans now set, it seems the couple is focused on what matters most: family, time together, and shutting out the noise.
