LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Gwen Stefani received a strong backlash from her fans on the social media platform X after she retweeted an interview of actor Jonathan Roumie where he discussed Christianity with far-right commentator Tucker Carlson.

The 55-year-old singer captioned her post, "Wow Jonathan Roumie, you are a powerful inspirational human, what an enlightening intelligent beautiful interview thank you for being you gx."



 

According to the Daily Beast, Roumie is known for playing Jesus in the evangelist TV series 'The Chosen'. He spent the interview making a case for the power of prayer and fasting as he pitched his “Christian and Catholic” prayer and meditation app, Hallow.

A devout Catholic, Stefani has previously partnered with Hallow, a company that has also been promoted by Hollywood stars Mark Wahlberg and Chris Pratt. The mobile application for Hallow reportedly costs $70 per year with a premium subscription.



 

Speculations over Gwen Stefani turning more conservative

Gwen Stefani has been openly Catholic throughout her life and has been frequently spotted taking her children to church. However, fans believe her association with her husband Blake Shelton has turned her more to the conservative side.

Shelton had praised conservative President Donald Trump in 2016, saying in an interview, "Whether you love him or hate him, he says what he thinks, and he has proven that you don’t always have to be so afraid." He married Stefani in 2021.

While Stefani considered their marriage to be a "blessing," Shelton shared of his wife, "She has such a strong faith in God. I mean, if Gwen was sitting here right now, she would (say it’s) God, and then everything else. That’s number one in her life and has been her whole life. She doesn’t beat you over the head with it; she would never do that.”
