Blake Shelton Dismisses Gwen Stefani Divorce Rumors

Published 12 January 2026

Blake Shelton dismissed swirling divorce rumors about his marriage to Gwen Stefani during a recent appearance on Country Countdown USA, calling the online speculation unreliable and often fabricated.

The country singer, 49, shared his frustration while cohosting the radio show over the weekend, recounting how the chatter began around October or November. "I started noticing these articles popping up about Blake and Gwen, they're split up," Shelton said. "They're not even seeing each other anymore, they're going through a divorce." He described the cycle of headlines that followed: a week later, a photo of the couple leaving a grocery store would prompt stories declaring them "back together," only for another absence to reignite claims of a split.

Shelton also highlighted the prevalence of doctored images on social media. "I see pictures of Gwen and I on social media that I really go, 'That looks so real.' But I know I don't even own that shirt or, 'Whose car is that?'" he said with a laugh. The performer concluded that he no longer trusts anything he encounters online. "I don't believe anything anymore that I see on the internet. I mean, nothing. I just don't believe it."
