Gwen Stefani To Return As A Judge For ‘The Voice,’ But Not Ready To Marry Blake Shelton

Gwen Stefani is set to return as a coach on NBC’s The Voice alongside long–term boyfriend Blake Shelton. 

A source told Entertainment Tonight, “Gwen is over the moon she’s back on The Voice! While she loved her downtime in the country with Blake and the kids, she is really looking forward to getting back to work. As much as Gwen loves her family life at home, she needs that outlet. She is a hard worker and so motivated. She says it’s in her blood. Her love of music has always been the driving force in her career.” 

When discussing if Stefani and Shelton were planning on getting married anytime soon, the source revealed, “People keep asking her about when she and Blake might tie the knot, but she is in no hurry. Right now, with everything happening in the world, she has definitely put any wedding plans on the back burner. Gwen and Blake trust and love each other and have truly built a wonderful family together, so right now she feels like she doesn’t need to rock the boat.”

However, on the subject of marriage, in June 2019 Shelton told Entertainment Tonight, “I promise you, we won’t break the news in any of the grocery store trash magazines. When it happens, you’ll hear about it. He said, “She’s never not been supportive or a cheerleader, just the most encouraging person I’ve ever had in my life, on any level. It’s unbelievable how supportive she is.”

Stefani announced her return to The Voice on Instagram with a photo of her in the judges chair with Shelton and fellow judges Kelly Clarkson and John Legend. She captioned the photo, “Cannot wait!! 😍”
