Blake Shelton’s love for hunting is not an ‘easy thing’ for Gwen Stefani to handle, claims insider
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE: Blake Shelton's love for hunting deer and other game is not an easy thing for wife Gwen Stefani to handle, a source close to the couple revealed.
The insider said, per OK Magazine, "They agreed to disagree about his hunting back when they first got together, but that doesn’t mean it’s an easy thing for Gwen to handle."
Blake Shelton's love for hunting is a concern for Gwen Stefani
Gwen Stefani, who is a vocal animal rights activist, has struggled to accept Blake Shelton's love for hunting deer and other game.
The insider added, "She’s a huge animal rights person, and has been mostly vegan for a long time. So it’s pretty hard to have her husband out there killing animals for a good time."
The source further said that Stefani has "tried" to get Blake to see her point of view on his hobby but it's "not something he will ever back down on".
The inside said, "When he thinks he’s in the right about something he won’t shut up about it. She’s always said it won’t be a deal breaker for her, but friends are seriously questioning how such opposites can go the distance."
The source further added, "He seems to get a kick out of rubbing it in her face, even though he knows it makes her sick to her stomach."
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton admit to 'insecurities' but their love remains steadfast
In the summer 2024 issue of Nylon magazine in April, Gwen Stefani said, "I had been going through those times where you’re questioning: 'Oh my gosh, am I just getting older? Am I cute?'"
She added, "In my own relationship, even though I know the truth of what’s happening today, you still create drama in your own mind about your insecurities and what might happen. I was in that phase of the relationship with Blake and getting paranoid."
Her husband added, "It’s an insecurity we both have. These are conversations that she and I have with each other: 'Are you still going to love me when I’m old or if I forget who I am?'"
Stefani and Shelton first met in 2014 when they were coaches on 'The Voice'. They started dating in 2015 and got married on July 3, 2021. Even though they are high-profile celebrities, Stefani said that no one knows what goes on in their marriage.
She said, "But 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."
She added, "It’s just lies. The truth is the truth, and we know what that is. And so that [negativity] would never penetrate just by me being vulnerable and sharing a song that I didn’t write for anybody else but myself and Blake."
