Where's Gwen Stefani?
This past weekend, Blake Shelton showed support to his nine-year-old step-son's flag football game solo while Gwen Stefani was busy with other commitments.
Gwen's former husband, Gavin Rossdale, was in attendance at the event, accompanied by their son Kingston, aged 17, and Zuma, aged 15.
Blake and Gwen's schedule is filled with various commitments this year, including tours and venturing into new business opportunities.
Amid the flurry of events this year, an individual with insider knowledge disclosed that their jam-packed schedules have increasingly created obstacles to enjoying quality time together.
According to a source cited by Life & Style magazine, "Over the past few months, their paths have diverged considerably, leading to decreased opportunities for shared moments."
"It's been frustrating. Their late relationship has been a lot of texting and talking on the phone."
"Gwen and Blake used to be inseparable, but that's changed."
The insider expressed optimism that this current situation is only a passing phase, as many fans adore both artists as a duo. A recent release of their collaborative track, "Purple Irises," has been released amid rumors of a split.
The couple also squashed these separation and divorce rumors as later on during the weekend, Gwen made headlines as she walked hand in hand with her husband Blake in a new TikTok video capturing the highlights of the No Doubt singer's recent live show.
