Country star Blake Shelton and pop icon Gwen Stefani are reportedly preparing to leave the bright lights of Hollywood behind, opting instead for a quieter, more family-focused life on Shelton’s Oklahoma ranch.
According to RadarOnline, sources close to the couple say Shelton and Stefani are seriously considering a full-time move out of Los Angeles — a decision driven primarily by their desire to raise children in a more grounded environment.
“As much as they both want this, there always seems to be something getting in the way,” an insider revealed. “But the time has come to do it. It’s now or never because they’re not getting any younger.”
While Stefani, 54, shares three sons with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale, Shelton, 48, has no biological children of his own. The couple, who married in 2021 after several years of dating, have reportedly been discussing parenthood for some time.
“Blake loves her boys, but he’s been yearning for a little one,” the source said. “She’d love a little girl this time.” Insiders suggest that this might finally be the moment when that dream comes true. Stefani has reportedly cleared her work schedule for the remainder of the year — a rare move that has fueled speculation about baby plans.
“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,” said one source. Another insider shared that the couple may be turning to surrogacy to grow their family. “They’re likely doing it via surrogate, but it will be no less special.”
Beyond expanding their family, Shelton and Stefani are said to be focused on providing the best possible upbringing for their future child, something they believe is more achievable outside of Los Angeles. “They’re putting plans in motion and want to spend lots more time at the ranch in Oklahoma,” the source continued.
“They feel it’s a better place to raise a child as opposed to LA.” The couple has long spoken about their love for life in the country, often retreating to their Oklahoma property whenever their schedules allow.
Now, with family as their top priority, it appears that a permanent move could be on the horizon. Though no official announcement has been made, fans will be watching closely for any signs of a major lifestyle change — or a new addition to the Shelton-Stefani household.
