FaithWire – Country star Blake Shelton is once again touting his relationship with his girlfriend Gwen Stefani. However, this time it isn’t just fluffed stuff for the tabloids. According to The Tennessean, Shelton, 43, says his relationship with Stefani, 50, has helped him believe in God. The celebrity couple have been together for the last four years after going through very public divorces. Now, Shelton says the timing and dynamic of how their lives have become intertwined points to the fact that it was God who brought them together. The Oklahoma native believes there’s no other way to explain it. And Stefani has played a role in strengthening that faith, too.
Shelton admits he still drinks and cusses more than he should, but he’s started attending regular worship services with Stefani and her three children at Stefani’s church. Shelton told the newspaper his relationship with the singer has helped him “turn a page” in his life, focusing on more important things. “I believe in God now more than I ever have in my life,” Shelton told The Tennessean. “The biggest part of that is just how (Gwen) came into my life and now our relationship. It’s just too weird. If you take God out of it, it doesn’t make sense. If you put God into it, everything that’s happened with us makes sense.” READ MORE
