Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are stepping into the holidays completely in sync — despite recent speculation hinting at trouble between them.
Shelton, 49, and Stefani, 56, are wrapping up a hectic 2025 side by side and are prepared to cheer each other on through an even busier 2026, according to a source close to Stefani, firmly shutting down whispers that their marriage is under strain.
“There is no truth to the split rumors. They’ve just been juggling demanding schedules,” the source explains. “When they are together, it’s just so obvious how solid they are.”
After exiting The Voice in 2023 following nearly two dozen seasons, the country star dropped his 13th studio album, For Recreational Use Only, in May. He also executive-produced and appeared on the CBS singing competition The Road. In August, he announced an eight-night run at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas beginning in January, returning to the same venue where he held a six-show residency in February.
Stefani has been equally busy. She released a deluxe edition of her album Bouquet in March and recently revealed that No Doubt will perform six shows at the Sphere in Las Vegas this May.

“Sometimes they spend a lot of family time together and really treasure that, and then there are periods when the focus is more on work,” the source says. “They’re both at a place in their careers where they still genuinely enjoy what they do and they don’t want to give that up. Is it easy all the time? Of course not. They have a lot on their plates and a lot to balance, but that’s just how it is when you’re a family and both parents have careers.”
Together, the pair are raising Stefani’s three sons — Kingston, 19, Zuma, 17, and Apollo, 11 — whom she shares with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale.
Shelton officially became a stepdad in July 2021, when he and Stefani married after six years of dating.
In May, Shelton reflected on reaching the 10-year mark with the “Just a Girl” singer, admitting it feels like the years have flown by.
“Some of the things we talk about, we’re to the point in our relationship that it’s like, ‘Oh, remember what happened…’ and you realize, ‘Oh my God, that was eight years ago!’ It’s like, how did this happen so quickly?” he said.
Even so, the “Texas” singer shared that his marriage to Stefani “still feels new” to him.
“I feel like that might be the key to happiness, is that it feels just as exciting and new and happy,” he added.
