Gwen Stefani Posts Kissing Selfie To Fend Off Divorce Rumors
On the Friday following Thanksgiving, Gwen Stefani took to her Instagram Stories to post a captionless selfie of her husband giving her a kiss on the cheek. This comes amid rumors that she and the country singer have broken up. And if the PDA wasn't enough to shut down those rumors, Shelton's rep also responded to the allegations: "This is a completely made-up story created solely for headlines and clicks."
The rumors really started back in March when they, as a couple, released a duet: "Hangin' On," which is very clearly a break up song. Then, despite being nominated in the Musical Event of the Year category at the CMA Awards, neither showed. And as a side note—this is the first time Gwen has posted Blake on her Instagram since June!
Social Media Reactions
While the kissing selfie quieted some fans, others are still speculating that their marriage is on the rocks. "Where there is a rumor there is always a little bit of truth," one person wrote in a comment on Instagram.
"When you have to post kissy photo ops...you know it's over," agreed another user.
"This is always what happens just before the official split news," a third person chimed in.
"Honestly I never saw them together in the long term," another person said. "It felt more like fascination from both sides than love."
