Gwen Stefani Engaged: Blake Shelton Married Report, Proposed But She Said 'No'? [VIDEO]
Blake Shelton reportedly proposed to Gwen Stefani during an indoor picnic at her Los Angeles home, but after presenting his girlfriend of roughly six months with a stunning $1.2 million Tiffany diamond ring, she allegedly dealt him with a shocking blow.
Although Shelton expected Stefani to immediately except the right, she reportedly turned him down.
“Gwen was very touched, but said she had to wait to make sure it was right for the kids,” an insider told Radar Online on Friday.
According to the report, Stefani's decision to say "No" was based on her three children, sons, Kingston, 10, Zuma, 7, and Apollo, 2, and their seven-year age difference.
“Gwen fears their age will get in the way of long-term happiness,” said a source. “She’s 14 years older than Blake’s ex-wife, Miranda Lambert!”
In addition, said the source, Stefani is also haunted by the traumatic end of her first marriage to Gavin Rossdale.
“Gwen wants to trust Blake, but she fears it could come back and bite her,” claimed the insider, adding that Stefani reportedly “believes the time may have passed for her to have another baby."
“She’s worried Blake won’t be happy in a marriage where he might never be a father,” the source explained.
As fans will likely recall, Stefani's 13-year marriage to Rossdale reportedly ended after she learned he was cheating on her with their former nanny, Mindy Mann. According to an Us Weekly report last November, another one of Stefani's employees informed her of the alleged affair and she later found incriminating evidence of Rossdale's infidelity on her family's iPad.
Despite Stefani's reported concerns about her relationship with Shelton, which began last year as they filmed The Voice season nine, an expert claims they have a genuine love between them.
“You can tell by the way they are looking at each other, it’s as if they are making love with their eyes,” Dr. Lilian Glass told Hollywood Life last week. “They are completely mesmerized by each other. Their body language consistently shows, without a doubt, that they are deeply in love, and that their love for each other is intense, pure and genuine.”
