Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton will be celebrating their fourth wedding anniversary in three months.
In a previous interview, Stefani, a devout Catholic, shared how her faith has positively impacted her marriage. During a conversation with Drew Barrymore on a November episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, Stefani revealed how a higher power has played a significant role in strengthening her relationship with Shelton.
During an interview on The Drew Barrymore Show, Drew, 50, asked Gwen Stefani, 55, for the best advice she’s ever received about love. Stefani responded, “Best advice would probably be, make sure you have a third party,” while pointing upwards to indicate God.
This conversation occurred shortly before Stefani sparked mixed reactions among fans by promoting the Catholic prayer app Hallow. She partnered with the app to encourage people to pray during the holiday season. In a promotional video, Stefani expressed, “Christmas season has always been my favorite time of the year. It’s the season that we get to celebrate the birth of our Lord.” She went on to invite others to join her in celebrating the message of God’s love.
While many fans supported Stefani’s public expression of faith, some criticized her for the religious venture. Comments ranged from accusations of her embracing a “traditional wife” persona to expressing discomfort with her religious promotion. One fan, who had followed her career since the Tragic Kingdom days, stated, “I understand your faith is important to you but this is seriously cringe.”
One commenter expressed shock, writing, “Who is this and what have you done with the real Gwen?!! This cannot be real. Not only is she making music to match her husband’s, but now she seems like such a Republican.”
Despite the backlash, many fans came to Stefani’s defense, emphasizing that her religious beliefs are not a recent development. One supporter remarked, “Gwen has ALWAYS been a religious person. This is nothing new. She’s just more vocal about it now.”#newsafro_
