Gwen Stefani worried Blake Shelton is 'on his way to being obese', reveals insider
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Blake Shelton has reportedly been gaining weight consistently, and this is giving sleepless nights to his wife Gwen Stefani who does not want to watch Blake pile on the weight every day.
Blake has been gaining so much weight that Gwen wants to send him to a "fat farm" to treat his ingrained habits of overeating and his fondness for fatty foods like Velveeta dip, mashed potatoes, and country fried steak, per Life and Style Magazine.
Blake Shelton continues with his poor habits despite Gwen Stefani's concerns
According to an insider, the 48-year-old country music artist, who is 6 feet 5 inches tall, flaunted a leaner frame on CMT Giants in January but he has a lot of free time now that he left 'The Voice' in 2023, which has been awful for his diet.
Speaking to Life & Style, the insider said: "His weight yo-yos up and down, he’ll lose weight and then go right back to his bad habits and pile it all on again. Everyone agrees something needs to change for the sake of his health."
The insider disclosed that Blake has gained over 30 pounds in the last eight months. "He’s tipping the scales at 250 pounds, which is way past healthy," the source said.
The source continued: "He admits he needs to lose at least 20 pounds, but he can’t seem to stick to a healthy diet no matter how hard he tries. He’s going hog wild on barbecue pork sandwiches with all the fixings and all his other favorite foods."
Regarding the 'Hollaback Girl' hitmaker's diet, the source added: "Gwen’s obsessed with her diet and she’s worried he’s on his way to being obese. Clearly, his body-fat ratio is less than ideal. She’s convinced Blake will feel better if he loses 20 pounds."
"She can’t watch him every second, which makes a weight loss facility even more appealing. He can get professional help, exercise and understand why he’s reaching for the potato chips and beer, and get his weight back down to a healthier place," the source said.
Gwen, 55, returned to 'The Voice' this season as a coach, so she does not have time to keep an eye on the 'Honey Bee' singer.
Blake Shelton lost 20 pounds as Gwen Stefani refused to share bed until he lost weight
Blake Shelton used to appear a lot thinner, and friends encouraged him to stop eating poorly because his wife, Gwen Stefani, was so mad that she refused to let him sleep in their bed unless he shed a few pounds.
Insiders told Life and Style Magazine in May, that the 'God's Country' singer lost up to 20 pounds by eating fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. He also reduced his alcohol intake after his fit duet partner set the rule.
A source said at the time, "Blake feels like a new man. Before, he was huffing and puffing going up stairs — but now he’s darting up and down with no trouble at all!"
"She said no nookie until she saw improvement. It may have sounded harsh, but she had to make Blake realize she was serious! He’s tried to lose weight before with little to no success," the source added.
"But Gwen put her foot down. She wants him to stick around, and his unhealthy habits were grating on her nerves!"
The insider further revealed, "Their love life has greatly improved, and Blake has more stamina and energy now than he’s had in years. He realizes he really let himself go. Now there’s sizzle in their marriage again."
