Gwen Stefani Just A Girl Red Carpet Arrivals

Be honest: when Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton first got together in 2015, did any of us really think they would make it this long? I didn’t. I didn’t see any of this coming. After more than three years together, I have to admit that I actually sort of like Gwen and Blake together. It’s weird. Anyway, Gwen and Blake are always getting rumors about an impending engagement, wedding or baby. I tend to believe Gwen wants to marry Blake and she’s just waiting for him to do something about it. I also believe that Blake got burned by Miranda Lambert, and he’s probably still gun-shy about getting hitched again. But what about babies? Gwen is 49, Blake is 42. Chances are, even if Gwen tried to get pregnant again, she wouldn’t have much luck. So what about surrogacy?

Ready to expand their family? Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are “determined to have a child together,” an insider reveals exclusively in the new issue of Us Weekly.

“They are in the final stages of choosing the woman who will carry their baby. It’s extremely important to Gwen that she give Blake a biological child, and Blake is so excited,” the insider explains, noting that even though Shelton is grateful for Stefani’s sons, “he wants his own child too.”

“Gwen just is so in awe of the love Blake has, not only for her but for the boys,” the insider tells Us.

By all accounts, Blake adores Gwen’s sons. Gwen and her boys regularly spend a lot of time in Oklahoma, where Blake has a home, and he’s turned his property into a giant playground for the kids. I feel like… Gwen has always wanted more kids, and she might even try this, even though what she really wants is to just get married. I don’t know. Most celebrities keep it a secret when they’re going through the first stages of surrogacy, so I don’t know if this is a legit leak from one of their camps, or it’s just a make-believe story. Eh. It feels truthy, but God knows.
