Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are about to welcome a baby via surrogate next year, according to a report.
Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani tied the knot on July 3. One outlet claimed that newlyweds are having a child via surrogacy.
Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani looking for a surrogate rumor
Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are planning to expand their family soon. An unnamed insider told Us Weekly that the country singer is anxious to be a dad, so they are looking for a surrogate to carry their baby.
“There’s a sudden sense of longing to have a family of his own,” the unnamed source said.
Their plans reportedly had a snag because they had difficulty finding a surrogate due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The outlet noted that it’s important to Stefani for Shelton to have a biological child. However, she won’t settle for a surrogate.
The tipster added that it was a slow process, but they were fine with it. Shelton was reportedly happy to be guided by Stefani on the timetable.
“They are being extremely private about the exact timing and trying to have a low-key approach to it all, but if everything goes according to plan they will have a baby in their arms by [the end of] 2022,” the source concluded.
Rumor debunked
Gossip Cop examined the report and concluded that one should not trust the report. The rumor-debunking site pointed out that the tabloid churns out surrogacy stories about the couple every few months.
In April 2021, the outlet noted that the couple would look into surrogacy. Then outlet pushes the surrogacy plan back a few months. Also, it remains questionable how the outlet’s insiders know about the details given that Stefani and Shelton are “extremely private” about family planning.
Neither Shelton nor Stefani confirmed the surrogacy reports. There are also no legitimate quotes from Stefani saying she wants Shelton to have a biological child.
Gossip Cop stressed that it wouldn’t be surprising if Shelton and Stefani would welcome a child. However, there is no indication that they are planning for it. One thing is clear — Shelton enjoys being a stepfather to Stefani’s three sons.
Stefani and Shelton haven’t addressed their baby plans. However, the Hollaback Girl singer praised her husband as a stepdad. She even made a sweet tribute to Shelton on Father’s Day.
She shared a series of photos of Shelton with her sons on Instagram. In the caption, she greeted Shelton with a “Happy Father’s Day” and described the country singer are “the most generous patient loving funny guy” she knew.
