Blake Shelton Playfully Roasts Gwen Stefani with Nostalgic Throwback Photo
Country music sensation Blake Shelton recently took to Instagram to share an update about spring planting activities on his and wife Gwen Stefani's Tishomingo, Oklahoma farm. The 49-year-old singer, however, couldn't resist injecting some humorous marital teasing into his agricultural showcase.
A Surprise Vintage Image Amid Farm Preparations
While detailing the couple's gardening plans, Shelton inserted a throwback photograph of Stefani from her distinctive 1999-2000 era. The image captured the 56-year-old No Doubt frontwoman sporting vibrant fuchsia pink hair and dental braces during what fans recognize as her "Return to Saturn" period. This playful prank came as Shelton was demonstrating their vegetable garden preparations, complete with close-up views of his cherished orange Kubota tractor.
"It's getting close to spring time. I've got the old orange Kubota out here," Shelton announced in his social media post. "Ma'am, I got to show you something. This year we decided to do some real professional gardening. Me and my wife."
With unmistakable tongue-in-cheek delivery, the entertainer added, "I'll put a picture of my wife on here," before revealing the decades-old image that contrasted sharply with their current rural lifestyle.
Detailed Gardening Plans and Marital Teamwork
The Voice coach enthusiastically described the couple's agricultural ambitions, emphasizing their hands-on approach to the project. "Anyway, me and my wife - her name's Gwen - we were out here putting this plastic here yesterday, just she and I, nobody else. It's hard work," Shelton explained, highlighting their collaborative effort.
Their planned produce includes:
- Tomatoes
- Peppers
- Squash
- Cucumbers
Despite his confessed dietary preferences, Shelton admitted, "I don't eat any vegetables but it's fun." He particularly emphasized excitement about creating a dedicated sweet corn patch, declaring, "This is going to be my sweet corn patch this year. I've already started working it up a little bit but I'm gonna till it a couple more times because spring is almost here people! Whoa!"
Addressing Persistent Divorce Speculation
This lighthearted farm update follows Shelton's recent comments addressing persistent rumors about potential marital troubles with Stefani. The singer expressed surprise about online speculation suggesting their relationship was in jeopardy, particularly given their visible togetherness in everyday situations.
"Starting in October, I think, or maybe November, I started noticing these articles popping up about Blake and Gwen, they're split up," Shelton revealed during a January interview with Country Countdown USA. "They're not even seeing each other anymore, they're going through a divorce. And then, you know, a week later a picture comes out of us walking out of the grocery store: 'Oh, they're back together again!'"
The "Ol' Red" performer humorously noted the cyclical nature of such gossip, adding, "And another week goes by and we're not seen at the grocery store: 'They're divorcing!'"
Questioning Online Credibility and Doctored Content
Shelton, who married Stefani in a 2021 ceremony at their beloved Oklahoma ranch, expressed diminished trust in internet reporting due to the proliferation of manipulated content featuring the couple. "I don't believe anything anymore that I see on the internet. I mean, nothing. I just don't believe it," he stated, referencing the numerous fabricated stories and altered images that circulate about their relationship.
The couple's shared commitment to their rural retreat and collaborative projects like their expanding vegetable garden continues to demonstrate their partnership, even as Shelton maintains his signature playful approach to their public interactions.
