Gwen Stefani allegedly wants some space from her husband, Blake Shelton because the latter just became too clingy for her own liking.

An unnamed source told Globe that Stefani is turned off by Shelton’s clingy ways because he seems like an overgrown puppy that needs constant attention and love.

“Gwen misses the old, independent Blake, not this clingy version of him who won’t leave her alone and gets all antsy if she so much as leaves to go grocery shopping without him. It’s sweet in a way, but she wants them to take a little step back and get the spark back,” the source said.

The source also claimed that another thing that Stefani dislikes about Shelton is the fact that he tattles about their issues with their The Voice co-coach, Kelly Clarkson. And the latter seemingly sides with Shelton because that’s the only story that she knows.

“The ideal scenario would be for Blake to spend more time on the Oklahoma farm while she hankers down in L.A., but he’s not keen on that. All he wants is family time with Gwen,” the source said.

However, one should take the tabloid’s claims with a grain of salt. As of late, there’s no proof that Stefani is turned off by Shelton’s clinginess.

Since the couple has only been married for a short time, they might still love it when they’re clingy towards each other.

It’s not also true that Shelton has been telling Clarkson stories about his issues with Stefani. All these claims were just made up by the tabloid to make it seem as though the couple has issues.

In fact, this isn’t the first time that tabloids insisted that Stefani and Shelton’s marriage could be at risk because of their differences. There was a time when Shelton and Stefani were rumored to be having problems because the former refused to take good care of himself.

At the time, there were also allegations claiming that Shelton packed on the pounds because he no longer has any regard for his wife’s feelings.

However, these rumors aren’t true either. There’s no indication that Shelton gained weight. And even if he did, it’s unlikely to cause problems in his marriage.

There are more important issues that Shelton and Stefani might disagree on and weight isn’t one of them.
