It looks like Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton’s wedding won’t be happening anytime soon. In fact, sources say that one of the reasons why Blake doesn’t want to get married right now is because he’s not ready for fatherhood. Insiders say that Blake feels awkward whenever he’s around Gwen’s sons Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo and that he’s not ready to become their official stepdad. Gwen shares custody of her sons with her ex-husband, Gavin Rossdale.
While Blake is definitely trying to show Gwen and her sons that he definitely cares for them, insiders say that he’s simply not ready for fatherhood. He feels awkward around Gwen’s sons. What’s more, they haven’t fully accepted him in their lives, either. After all, the boys are still trying to get adjusted to Gwen and Gavin’s divorce and their new lives.
If that weren’t enough, sources even said earlier this year that Gwen Stefani’s ex-husband Gavin Rossdale is jealous of Blake Shelton. That’s why he’s been putting in more effort to spend time with his three sons. Gavin was even spotted competing for his sons’ love and attention during an afternoon play date at a Los Angeles park. This was right after Blake was photographed carrying Gwen’s son Apollo in his arms while running errands in L.A.
Do you think Blake doesn’t want to marry Gwen simply because he’s not ready to become a stepdad? Is Gwen putting pressure on Blake to get married sooner rather than later? Some fans say that simply might be the case. Sources say that Gwen is hoping for a Christmas proposal. After all, she’s waited long enough and knows that Blake is definitely the one for her. Now, it’s just a matter of when and where Blake will pop the question.
Of course, Gwen Stefani herself has not made any comments about the buzz. Although there were previous reports indicating that Gwen was hoping to get pregnant again with a baby girl. But with Blake and his doubts on fatherhood, that might not happen right away. For now, sources say Gwen is hoping they tie the knot in 2017.
