Gwen & Blake Going Strong Amid Annulment Drama With Her Ex

Gwen Stefani and her fiancé Blake Shelton looked thrilled to be performing with each other despite all the drama her ex-husband, Gavin Rossdale, has caused the couple.

As RadarOnline.com recently reported, the former No Doubt songbird formally petitioned the Vatican to have her 13-year marriage with Rossdale annulled so she can marry Shelton in the Catholic Church.

However, her furious former hubby is challenging her action.

“Gwen’s biggest nightmare is coming true!” a source said of the tense situation, noting that “Gavin is refusing to play ball.”

Scroll through RadarOnline.com’s gallery to find out more about the stressful situation.

“The church cannot condone a marriage after a divorce — unless the marriage isn’t recognized in the first place,” an insider previously pointed out, adding that “Gavin refuses to say their marriage never existed.”

Regardless of the behind-the-scenes drama, Stefani didn’t seem to have a care in the world when she and her 13-year-old son Kingston watched Shelton from the sidelines during his set at the California Mid-State Fair in Paso Robles on July 21.

Though she was all smiles, as RadarOnline.com readers know, 49-year-old Stefani is devoutly religious and wants to have a Catholic wedding, but she can’t do so unless she secures an annulment.

Meanwhile, 43-year-old country crooner Shelton — who isn’t Catholic — could not care less about getting married in the church, said the insider. The celebrities in this article did not respond to RadarOnline.com’s requests for comments.
