Country stud Blake Shelton is converting to Catholicism to marry Gwen Stefani! "Gwen was raised in a Catholic family and religion is a big part of her life," an insider told RadarOnline.com. "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 (and the celeb couple's relationship) would "show that he's truly in this for the long haul," added the insider.

Shelton, 41, was raised in the church, and he released his first song to Christian radio, "Savior's Shadow," in 2016. But he's committed to learning the Catholic catechism to please pop princess Stefani, 48, and her parents, sources revealed to RadarOnline.com.
The "No Doubt" singer returned to her faith during her bitter divorce from rocker Gavin Rossdale after he had an affair with the family's nanny, according to the 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."
Shelton hooked up with Stefani after his divorce from second wife Miranda Lambert while the two were coaches on singing competition "The Voice." Since then, he's devoted himself to winning over Gwen and her family.
