Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton answer to a higher calling when it comes to their love life, RadarOnline.com can report.
The powerhouse musicians and reality show judges credit their strong faith for bringing – and keeping – them together.
Faith in Each Other
Stefani re-discovered her religion after her divorce.
Shelton and Stefani first hooked up after his divorce from wife Miranda Lambert while the two were coaches on singing competition The Voice.
They started dating in 2015 and tied the knot in 2021. Next month, they will celebrate their fourth anniversary.
Insiders credit their strong faith in each other and the man upstairs for keeping them close.
"Blake and Gwen are devoted to God," a source said. "Their faith centers them and keeps them strong as a unit."
Going to the Chapel
Shelton converted to Catholicism for Stefani
"Life can get crazy for everyone, but with their careers and fame, it’s that much more intense. A shared belief in a higher power and purpose is crucial for their marriage," the source continued.
Shelton "touched Gwen’s heart" when he built a chapel for her on his 1,300-acre Oklahoma ranch, the site of his romantic 2020 proposal and their 2021 wedding.
"Now that’s where they’ll watch live streaming services from her church in L.A.," said the insider. "They pray together there as well. It would mean a great deal to Gwen to renew their vows in their little chapel at some point."
Converting to Catholicism
Stefani has new plans to release a religious album.
Stefani had a spiritual awakening during her bitter divorce from rocker Gavin Rossdale. She returned to her Catholic roots after he had an affair with the family's nanny, according to an insider.
"Religion has become very important to Gwen again," said the source. "She realized that if she's going to spend the rest of her life with someone, she wants him to share the same values and beliefs."
So to prove his devotion, Shelton converted to Catholicism.
"Gwen was raised in a Catholic family, and religion is a big part of her life," an insider said before their marriage. "She wants her three boys to have a connection with God, and taking them to church is very important to her."
Shelton showcasing a deep dedication to Stefani's religion "shows that he's truly in this for the long haul," added the insider.
