After years of rumors and hopeful speculation, it looks like Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are finally getting ready to expand their family. The superstar couple, who tied the knot back in 2021, have reportedly made the decision to welcome a baby together, something fans (and insiders) have been buzzing about for a while now. Of course, they plan to do so in Oklahoma.
According to sources close to the couple, this is no longer a “someday” plan. “As much as they both want this, there always seems to be something getting in the way. But the time has come to do it. It’s now or never because they’re not getting any younger,” one insider told The Globe. Gwen is 55 and already a proud mom to three sons, Kingston, 18, Zuma, 16, and Apollo, 11, from her previous marriage to rocker Gavin Rossdale. But for Blake, 49, this would be his first child.
Sure, he’s loved stepping into the role of stepdad over the past few years. But let’s be real, there’s nothing quite like having your own baby, and that’s something Blake has reportedly been longing for. “She wants to give him a child so badly. He loves her boys, but he’s been yearning for a little one. She’d love a little girl this time,” the source added.
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton Prepare For Parental Life in Oklahoma
The whispers about baby plans have been circling for a while, but now it seems like things are actually happening behind the scenes. One major clue? Gwen’s sudden decision to clear her calendar. “She and Blake have been dropping hints, but the biggest one for people who know Gwen is how much she’s suddenly slowed down,” says the insider. “It’s very unusual to have this much time in her schedule open, so naturally it’s got everyone in her world convinced that she and Blake are finally going to get the baby they’ve wanted for so long.”
While the couple hasn’t officially confirmed anything yet (they’re famously private about their personal lives), those in the know believe they’re pursuing surrogacy and that a baby may be on the way sooner than anyone expected. “They’re likely doing it via surrogate, but it will be no less special,” the source revealed.
Ready to Ditch Hollywood For Baby Duty
And the couple isn’t just preparing emotionally, they’re planning for a complete lifestyle shift. According to insiders, Gwen and Blake want to ditch the Hollywood scene and move full-time to his beloved Oklahoma ranch once the baby arrives. “Word is, they’re putting plans in motion and want to spend lots more time at the ranch in Oklahoma. They feel it’s a better place to raise a child as opposed to L.A.”
Honestly, it makes sense. Blake has always made it clear that life on the ranch is where he’s happiest, and Gwen has embraced the slower pace of rural living since marrying him. Raising a baby away from the constant chaos of Los Angeles could be just what they need.
Whether it’s a boy or girl, surrogate or not, one thing is for sure: this baby is going to be loved beyond measure and probably serenaded to sleep by two Grammy-winning parents. Stay tuned, because if the rumors are true, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton’s biggest duet yet may just be on the way as they live in bliss in Oklahoma.
