It’s only been 10 months since Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton tied the knot, but it seems like the honeymoon is over. According to an insider, the pair have been butting heads nonstop, and friends worry it could spell trouble for their union.
“They’ve always tried hard to please each other, especially Blake, because Gwen’s happiest when she gets her way,” dishes the insider. “But he’s been asserting himself more since they got married, and it hasn’t been sitting well with Gwen.”
Shelton, 45, and Stefani, 52, have been putting the finishing touches on their new Oklahoma dream home, where they got married last July. But the insider says the projects turned into “a total nightmare because they argue over every little thing, from bathroom tiles to kitchen cabinet handles.”
The insider adds that the decorating dustups have gotten so bad that Stefani has been complaining about Shelton’s “tacky taste” behind his back.

The stars’ squabbles extend beyond interior design. “It bugs Blake when Gwen decides what they’re going to have for dinner without asking him because she’s mostly vegetarian and he likes his meat and potatoes,” dishes the insider, noting that the songstress is constantly after her hubby — who managed to shed his quarantine weight gain — not to yo-yo back up again.
“Gwen also gets on his case about leaving his stuff around the house,” the insider adds. “They even bicker over toothpaste because Blake never squeezes from the bottom!”
While their loved ones are concerned that the pair’s constant clashing could put their marriage in crisis, “they’re telling themselves the first year is always the hardest and that Blake and Gwen will work out the kinks,” the insider says. “Still, it’s a little early to be pushing each other’s buttons all the time.”
Shelton and Stefani tied the knot in July 2021.
