\u201cMy wife came to town. She\u2019s here. I mean, she\u2019s not here. She\u2019s over there at the other venue,\u201d the former \u201cVoice\u201d coach told the audience in a video obtained by Page Six.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat kind of a d\u2013khead books us the exact same nights every single night?\u201d he added. \u201cI think my manager did that. He\u2019s here, isn\u2019t he?\u201d<\/p>\n
Shelton\u2019s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n
The \u201cGod\u2019s Country\u201d singer, 49, kicked off his eight-show \u201cBlake Shelton: Live in Las Vegas\u201d on Wednesday night \u2013 the same night that Stefani, 56, and No Doubt launched their first of 18 shows at the Sphere.<\/p>\n
Shelton acknowledged that his and his wife\u2019s respective residencies would overlap during an interview with People back in January.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019ll be interesting because I\u2019ll be in direct competition with my wife,\u201d the country star told the outlet. \u201cI\u2019m excited about that because I know there\u2019ll be probably a little bit of trash talking.\u201d<\/p>\n
He continued, \u201cWhether we both sell out, there\u2019s a big difference in selling out the Sphere and selling out Caesars, so she\u2019ll have that over my head.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shelton also joked that \u201cit\u2019s not very friendly\u201d competition when it\u2019s \u201cabsolute ass-kicking.\u201d<\/p>\n
But the pair\u2019s respective Las Vegas residencies also come in the wake of rumors that the couple was divorcing after less than five years of marriage.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The split rumors began when the power couple released their hit breakup duet \u201cHangin\u2019 On\u201d in March 2025.<\/p>\n
Speculation about the pair\u2019s marriage heightened in November 2025 when they didn\u2019t attend the CMA Awards despite Shelton\u2019s track \u201cPour Me a Drink\u201d getting nominated for Musical Event of the Year.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Shelton addressed the divorce rumors earlier this year during a chat with Country Countdown USA.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t believe anything anymore that I see on the internet,\u201d he explained in January. \u201cI mean, nothing. I just don\u2019t believe it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stefani also shut down rampant split speculation by sharing a slew of PDA-filled snaps with her country star hubby, including a video of them sharing a New Year\u2019s kiss to kick off 2026.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The \u201cOl\u2019 Red\u201d crooner and the \u201cHollaback Girl\u201d hitmaker met while appearing as coaches on \u201cThe Voice\u201d in 2014. They went on to tie the knot in July 2021.<\/p>\n
Stefani, who was previously married to musician Gavin Rossdale from 2002 to 2016, said Shelton gave her \u201ca second chance at life\u201d following her and her first husband\u2019s divorce.<\/p>\n
Shelton, meanwhile, was previously married to Kaynette Williams from 2003 to 2006 and Miranda Lambert from 2011 to 2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
