Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani Fought To Keep Marriage After Growing Apart, Falling Out Of Love: Report

Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani have conquered their marital woes, according to reports.

The 47-year-old country singer and the 54-year-old pop songstress will celebrate their third wedding anniversary in July. According to various sources, the couple had a rough year because they grew apart. However, the pair reportedly fought to keep their marriage.

"A lot of their friends were really worried it would end in divorce," an unnamed source told Life & Style. "They'd been fighting a lot, and their schedules have been challenging for them. Gwen and Blake felt they had fallen out of love."

To keep the love burning, the musicians reportedly made a lot of compromises and "prioritized spending time with one another." Eventually, they "got back to doing the things that brought them together in the first place, like making music."

The celebrity couple dropped their latest collaboration, "Purple Irises," in February. According to Stefani, the candid song reflected her insecurities about aging, which may have affected her relationship with her husband.

"I had been going through those times where you're questioning: 'Oh my gosh, am I just getting older? Am I cute?'" Stefani explained.

"In my own relationship, even though I know the truth of what's happening today, you still create drama in your own mind about your insecurities and what might happen. I was in that phase of the relationship with Blake and getting paranoid."

According to Life & Style's source, Stefani and Shelton were able to work things out.

"Gwen and Blake have had their ups and downs," the insider added. "While it hasn't always been a bed of roses, they like to think they made it to the other side."

Another insider also spoke with Us Weekly about the couple. According to the source, Shelton couldn't be happier a year after he left "The Voice" to spend more time with his wife and her boys. Stefani shares sons -- Kingston, 17, Zuma, 15, and Apollo, 10 -- with her ex-husband Gavin Rossdale.

"Blake has a very close bond with all the boys," the source said. "He loves taking them out to farm on the ranch with him, and they spend almost all of their free time together. It makes Gwen feel so much joy seeing how close they all are."

A second source claimed that Stefani loved that her boys experienced their childhood in Oklahoma. They reportedly prefer their ranch life over the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles.

As for their relationship, Shelton and Stefani are reportedly still very much into each other.

"Blake is the most supportive husband," the second source added, noting that Shelton was excited seeing Stefani reunite with her band, No Doubt, at Coachella.

"They had so much fun at Coachella. Blake thinks Gwen's a rock star."
