BLAKE Shelton shared a photo of himself seemingly passed out at a bar amid his rumored marriage issues with Gwen Stefani.
Gwen, 54, sparked concern when she appeared to delete a slew of photos with the country singer, 47, this month.
Blake fueled the speculation on Monday when he was seen alone at his bar, Ole Red, in Nashville, Tennessee.
He appeared to have had a “long night” filming season two of his show, Barmageddon.
The singer was seen wearing a Santa outfit and hat, slumped against a bar.
He posed with his head on his arms and resting on his fake Santa beard on the countertop.
Blake feigned sleep with his eyes closed and mouth slightly open, with what looked like an empty cup in front of him.
The former Voice coach shared the playful snap on Instagram and promoted his show’s holiday special in the caption.
He wrote: “Santa’s had a long night.. watch the Barmageddon USA Holiday special tonight.”
It comes after the couple’s fans speculated that Gwen has been removing her posts featuring Blake from her Instagram.
Last week, the Hollaback Girl singer shared a video of herself getting ready in her dressing room.
In the comments, fans asked about the absence of Blake from her grid.
“What happened to all the videos of you and Blake?” one asked.
“I haven’t seen them either!” a second agreed.
“I haven’t seen them, I’m usually really busy and must have missed them. It seems a lot of the posts I’ve come across are older….they must be busy too, lol!!!” a third remarked.
“Need to see some stuff with you and blake together,” someone else commented.
TIME APART
Days earlier, Gwen admitted that she would be spending New Year Eve away from Blake.
Blake is set to perform at New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash, while Gwen will be putting on a show in Las Vegas.
“Well, it’s funny because I was going to be at his show, and then Vegas called and wanted me to be in Vegas,” she told Access Hollywood.
“Last year I did Vegas and I was like, ‘Remind me to never do Vegas again.’ [But] you sometimes want to… not be the host.
“So I was like, ‘Eh, I’m gonna do it.’ If you’re gonna be working then I’m gonna be working.
“So I’m just gonna fly in and out it’s gonna be awesome. I’m really looking forward to it.”
Gwen and Blake – who tied the knot in 2021 – have faced rumors that they have been dealing with problems in their marriage in recent months.
Last month, the pop music singer shared a brief clip of herself with her partner, in which they built a fire and cooked pizza together on their Oklahoma ranch.
Viewers had mixed feelings about their relationship, with some claiming that Gwen didn’t suit Blake’s country life.
