Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani know what it takes to keep a relationship together. Both of them are stars in their own right, and as such, have careers that often drag them in opposite directions. Long stretches apart. Weeks, if not months, on the road. And, of course, an endless rumor mill consistently spitting their names out every few months.

In relationships like those, where both sides are clearly in love, but life-sized obstacles often appear, actions often speak louder than words. According to a source close to the couple, who spoke with the Star, that's exactly why Blake's decision to support Gwen and No Doubt at the Las Vegas Sphere meant so much to the "Just A Girl" singer.
"They do have so much mutual respect, and Blake is in awe of Gwen's talent," the source told the Star. "The fact that he was front and center, cheering her on, went a long way."
That's what couples in healthy relationships do, right? They support each other. They make the time to show up and cheer for their loved one's success. Of course, that's easier said than done when you're both on the road. Perhaps that's why Blake's show of support was just another reminder to Gwen of why the couple works so well.
Blake Shelton Recently Shut Down Rumors of a Split With Gwen Stefani
Earlier this year, Blake Shelton shut down the latest round of rumors linking him and Gwen with a split. His comments came via Country Countdown USA, where he co-hosted the show on Jan. 10.
"I started noticing these articles popping up about 'Blake and Gwen, they're split up," Blake said. "They're not even seeing each other anymore; they're going through a divorce.' And then, a week later, a picture comes out of us walking out of the grocery store ... 'Oh, they're back together again!'"
Blake continued by explaining how the rumors persisted for more than another week.
"Another week goes by, and we're not seen at the grocery store ... 'They're divorcing.' I see pictures of Gwen and I on social media that I really go, 'That looks so real.' But I know I don't even own that shirt or, 'Whose car is that?'"
Of course, this is the internet we're talking about, and that means not everything you see is going to be true.
"I don't believe anything anymore that I see on the internet," Blake said. "I mean, nothing, I just don't believe it."
Fortunately for Blake and Gwen, those rumors have no basis in real life. It's clear to see they love, respect and support each other. Hopefully, we can all remember that the next time their names appear in the rumor mill.
