Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton, allegedly, split shortly after the former celebrated her birthday. But they're keeping it under wraps for fear of disappointing their fans.

According to In Touch Weekly, the couple has been having so many problems since the start of the lockdown. And instead of getting closer to each other, Stefani and Shelton found themselves bickering nonstop.

And after Stefani celebrated her 51st birthday on October 3, the singer, allegedly, expected that Shelton would finally propose to her. However, the day went by and she didn’t get a ring on her finger.

As such, the No Doubt singer, allegedly, became enraged with Shelton that she confronted him about their plans. Shelton told Stefani that he’s scared to tie the knot again because he’s been married before and it failed.

However, Stefani couldn’t care less about Shelton’s worries because the one thing that she wants most is for them to tie the knot.

And the fact that the couple has been dating for five years and they’re still not engaged is not helping. Stefani is pressuring Shelton to propose to her, but the more that she does this, the more difficult it is for the country singer to go down on one knee.

Shortly after their confrontation, Stefani, allegedly, walked out on Shelton. And for some reason, The Voice coach expected that Stefani would come running back to him after realizing what she had done. However, Stefani no longer looked back.

So, Shelton found himself begging Stefani not to leave him because he realized just how much he missed her. And the country musician also, allegedly, realized that he’d taken Stefani for granted. So, he vowed to never let her go again if she’d get back together with him.

Shelton, allegedly, called Stefani on the phone nonstop to beg her to come home.  And he also asked for her forgiveness. Stefani couldn’t immediately forgive Shelton because she still wants him to propose to her.

According to the source, this is something that Shelton might finally do if Stefani agrees to fix their relationship.

However, one should take the tabloid's claims with a grain of salt. According to Gossip Cop, Stefani isn’t pressuring Shelton to propose to her. And she didn’t also walk out on him following a heated argument over their engagement.

As such, there’s no reason for Shelton to run after Stefani because the two never split.
