Blake Shelton may not have been present Gwen Stefani‘s show in Las Vegas, but he had a good reason for it.
“My wife came to town. She’s here. I mean, she’s not here. She’s over there. The other venue,” Shelton, 49, said during his Wednesday, May 6, appearance at the Coliseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. “What kind of ad man books us on the exact same nights every night?

That would freak people out.”
Shelton and Stefani exchanged vows in July 2021. Shelton was previously married to him Kaynette Gern from 2003 to 2006 and then Miranda Lambert from 2011 to 2015 while Stefani was with her ex-husband Gavin Rossdale from 2002 to 2016.

“I noticed these articles popping up saying, ‘Blake and Gwen, they’re broken up,'” he said while co-hosting the show Country countdown USA radio show at the time, adding that he had learned to “stop believing anything I see on the internet.”
“(I saw her say) ‘They don’t even see each other anymore, they’re getting divorced.’ And then a week later, a picture emerges of us walking out of the grocery store,” he continued. “‘Oh, they’re together again!’ And another week goes by and we’re not seen at the grocery store… ‘They’re getting divorced.'”
