Shelton recently said he was “so proud” of Stefani, who appeared to be showing off her baby bump. The couple has faced pregnancy rumors before. According to a December 2022 article, Blake Shelton struggled with balancing being a role model and friend to his stepsons. The country music star and his wife of one year, Gwen Stefani, raised her three sons together.
In 2021, Shelton revealed how he, Kingston, Apollo and Zuma Rossdale have always been together. The star said that he didn’t mind being just friends with the boys, but he realized that they also listened to what he said.It was “terr-ifying” for the singer because he realized it was a big responsibility and wondered if being a stepfather was harder or maybe more challenging than being biological. However, the answer to his questions was reportedly just around the corner.
The source claimed that Stefani wanted “nothing more than to give her husband ‘her child.’” The insider stated that the country singer’s wife “decided a few months ago to give IVF another shot” after taking a break from trying to have a baby. .The singer reportedly gave up on in vitro fertilization (IVF) because it didn’t work and was emotionally draining, but decided to try again. Shelton leaving “The Voice” after 23 seasons would allow him to be a more present father.
The singer and her husband chose IVF after they failed to conceive naturally, and numerous rounds and treatments failed. The process took a toll on them mentally and physically, and the doctors told Stephanie to give her body a break.The source claimed that Stefani put a lot of pressure on herself to get pregnant for Shelton, which caused him to be affected as well, and he hated to see her like that. The singer stopped and focused on their engagement in 2020, wedding next year, her career and children.
Then a few months ago, in 2022, the couple reportedly visited a specialist in Los Angeles. The No Doubt member began eating healthier, doing acupuncture, meditation and more to prepare, and in early December of that year, it was revealed that she was reportedly “finally pregnant.”
