Gwen Stefani helping Blake Shelton stick to his New Year's resolution to 'cut back or stop drinking'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Blake Shelton is facing a hard time while sticking to his New Year’s resolution.
In December 2023, the ‘Happy Anywhere’ singer declared that his resolution for 2024 was to "either cut back or stop drinking altogether.” A source close to the singer, however, shared that the country singer has also taken on a mission to lose weight.
As a result of which, he has to not only forgo his favorite alcoholic beverages but also his favorite food.
But as anyone on a mission to quit alcohol and comfort food together would agree, this takes a toll. This is where Shelton’s support system in the form of his wife - Gwen Stefani - is making a difference.
‘Blake can get grumpy when he can’t have what he wants’

As he has to quit his favorite fried food and beer for a healthy fare, he is reportedly becoming “grumpy”.
The source shared, "Blake can get grumpy when he can’t have what he wants."
However, Shelton’s singer wife, 54, who has “always been healthy” finds “dieting” easy. Thus, she is helping her husband with the same.
The source shared, "When he wants a burger, she’ll suggest a salad with grilled chicken or salmon. They’ll whip up something together."

Gwen Stefani feels 'million times better' when she exercises

Stefani added, "I'm talking about like a million times better. So, I think that's important. I think that just trying to find balance, you know, in everything, from prayer to exercise to making out with my husband, like all of it."
