Country music star Blake Shelton is once again facing scrutiny over his growing weight, and sources claim his wife, pop icon Gwen Stefani, has stopped trying to change his habits after years of concern and frustration.
According to a report by Radar Online, Shelton’s physique has drawn renewed attention, with insiders suggesting his stomach is now “bigger than ever.” Despite Stefani’s longtime efforts to encourage healthier habits, the 55-year-old singer and fashion designer has reportedly decided to stop pushing her husband to change.
“She does love him, and she does love his watch,” a source told the outlet, “but she feels like there’s nothing she can do—and she’s sick of nagging.”
The couple, who married in 2021 after years of dating, have long been seen as one of entertainment’s most high-profile and affectionate duos. However, sources close to the pair say that behind closed doors, Stefani has struggled to motivate Shelton to eat healthier and prioritize his well-being.
“She’s tried everything,” the insider added. “From putting him on diets to swapping out junk food, she’s done all she can.” Shelton, who stands 6-foot-5, is now estimated to weigh nearly 300 pounds, according to Dr. Stuart Fischer, a health expert and former U.S. Navy admiral, who commented based on available photos and public appearances.
“Being overweight raises the risk of serious health problems like heart disease, blood clots, and diabetes,” Fischer cautioned. “At this stage, it’s a serious issue that can’t be ignored.” While Stefani has always maintained a lean and fit lifestyle, those close to the couple say she is emotionally drained by the ongoing struggle.
“This has been an ongoing source of stress for her,” another insider explained. “He’s lost weight and then gained it right back each time. It worries Gwen to no end.” Though the couple remains committed to one another, the toll of Shelton’s fluctuating weight and health concerns may be straining their day-to-day life.
Stefani’s decision to stop intervening, sources say, stems from a place of emotional exhaustion rather than indifference. Shelton has not publicly responded to the recent reports, and neither he nor Stefani has made official statements addressing the concerns. Still, fans and observers continue to speculate on the country singer’s health and how it may affect one of music’s most beloved couples moving forward.
