Gwen Stefani and Blake Sheltoni may be keeping their fans guessing about a brewing romance but now it is safe to say that the 'Voice' judges are officially dating.
“Gwen and Blake are longtime friends who have very recently started dating,” Gwen’s rep told Us Weekly. The rep also told TMZ that Gwen and Blake wanted to reveal their relationship on November 4, as they celebrate the CMAs in Nashville.
The 39-year-old country superstar is in town to attend and perform at the CMAs, where his ex-wife Miranda Lambert is also slated to sing. They also are both nominated for multiple awards.
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton will be “attending several after-parties following the awards ceremony,” a source told the news site. As for how long they’ve been dating, Gwen’s rep said, “just days.”
Stefani flew to Nashville which instantly sparked questions as to whether or not the rocker is going to be attending the CMA Awards alongside Shelton.
Apparently, Gwen made a last minute decision to fly to Nashville to be by Blake’s side for the awards show, however, she won’t attend the actual ceremony. She’ll only join him for the after parties. And TMZ’s source said it has nothing to do with potentially running into Blake’s ex, Miranda Lambert. “She doesn’t care if Miranda’s there or not. She just didn’t have the right clothes for the award ceremony because it was so last minute,” the source said.
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton made waves when they were spotted participating in some PDA over the weekend at Maroon 5's Halloween party. In the photos exclusively obtained by E! News Shelton was holding Stefani close with his hands on her shoulders, eventually moving them down to her waist. One hand later landed on her backside.
"[I] think he's hot, don't you?" Stefani told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show Tuesday. Though she declined to define their relationship, the singer added that they "both went through the same thing at the same time."
Stefani and her ex Gavin Rossdale settled their divorce last week after announcing their split in August.
