Blake Shelton, country music star and television personality, is reportedly struggling with weight gain, which has become a growing concern for his wife, Gwen Stefani. According to sources close to the couple, Shelton’s fluctuating weight is beginning to take a toll, and Stefani is finding it hard to ignore.
An insider told Life & Style that Shelton’s “weight yo-yos up and down” and described how difficult it has been for him to maintain a consistent, healthy lifestyle. “He’ll lose weight and then go right back to his bad habits and pile it all on again,” the source revealed, adding that those closest to Shelton are beginning to worry about his long-term health.
“Everyone agrees something needs to change for the sake of his health,” the insider emphasized, pointing out that Shelton’s weight has become a more pressing issue as he continues to struggle with his eating habits.
According to the source, Shelton has admitted that he’s tipping the scales at around 250 pounds, which is considered unhealthy for his frame. “He admits he needs to lose at least 20 pounds,” the insider shared. However, despite recognizing the need for change, Shelton has found it difficult to stay on track with his diet. “He can’t seem to stick to a healthy diet no matter how hard he tries,” the source explained.
Shelton’s love for indulgent Southern cuisine has reportedly been one of the biggest obstacles in his weight loss journey. “He’s going hog wild on barbecue pork sandwiches with all the fixings and all his other favorite foods,” the insider said, describing how hard it’s been for Shelton to resist his cravings and the comfort foods he’s grown to love over the years.
Stefani, known for her fit and active lifestyle, is reportedly trying to support her husband through these struggles. According to the insider, she has been light-hearted about the situation, but her concerns are real. After noticing Shelton’s recent weight gain, she’s even joked about sending him to a “fat farm” if he doesn’t curb his overeating habits soon.
While Stefani’s remarks may come across as playful, it’s clear that she is deeply worried about Shelton’s health. The source indicated that she’s been gently encouraging him to take his health more seriously, as those around him continue to urge him to make lasting changes to his diet and lifestyle.
At the end of the day, both Stefani and Shelton are known for their close, loving relationship, and it’s likely that Stefani’s concern stems from her desire to see Shelton lead a healthier, happier life. With the continued support of those around him, fans are hopeful that Shelton will find a way to prioritize his well-being and work toward his weight loss goals.
