Gwen Stefani ‘wants to marry Blake Shelton as soon as lockdown is lifted’… after waiting to change her divorce from Gavin Rossdale to an annulment
They have been together since November 2015, just three months after her split from husband Gavin Rossdale.
And Gwen Stefani is now ready to marry Blake Shelton, once the COVID-19 pandemic is over – after waiting for years to get an annulment, it has been claimed.
While the 50-year-old No Doubt singer has been divorced for nearly four years, she has been trying her best to change her divorce from Gavin to an annulment before getting married once again.

‘Gwen knows she is blessed and wants to have the wedding as soon as social distancing guidelines are lifted,’ a source told Us Weekly on Wednesday.
It comes as the Hollaback Girl singer has been working towards getting her marriage to Gavin annulled by the Catholic church as ‘religion has always been extremely important to her.’
But after seeing how much can change during a global pandemic, she doesn’t want to wait any longer to marry the country singer as they are ‘stronger than ever.’

‘It has made her realize that waiting for the annulment at this point is just futile because it could take years for the church tribunal to issue the decision,’ the source added.
While people can ask for an annulment after getting divorced, it is unsure what her grounds will be.
Gwen and Gavin previously filed for divorce and cited ‘irreconcilable differences.’ Irreconcilable differences does not constitute as grounds for an annulment.

And while she’s finally ready to take the leap, she won’t be holding the ceremony until she can be surrounded by her family and friends.
‘Gwen wants to have a ceremony and reception with their family and friends. She didn’t wait this long to get married with family watching on Zoom.’
The beauty has been isolating in Oklahoma over the past few months with Blake, and her three sons, Kingston James, 14, Zuma Nesta Rock, 11, and Apollo Bowie Flynn, six.
‘Gwen has a ton of her family there. They have been quarantined with them, so this weekend will be one big family party,’ an insider dished to Hollywood Life on Saturday.

‘Blake’s compound is right on the water [Lake Texoma] so they love going out on the boat. Blake has all the toys, ATVs, tons of fancy water guns, video games, it’s paradise for the kids — and the big kids [the adults] too.’
‘They’re living a quiet life in the country right now,’ an insider recently dished to Us Weekly.
‘They decided that separating themselves from city life was best for their family.’
They continued: ‘Right now, they feel blessed to have a home they can escape to during this difficult time … It is such a change of pace for everyone, and it’s truly helped to remind them of how important having family time can be.’
Blake and Gwen found love with each other in 2015, following her split from Rossdale and the end of his marriage to Miranda Lambert.
