Fans flooded the comments section to gush over Gwen and Blake’s love story and praise the star for defending their relationship.
“So Happy!!! She posted this I love them together,” one person wrote.
“Thank you, Gwen. So upset with all the negativity about the POWER COUPLE! Keep the love strong,” said another.
“So glad you’ve posted this so people can shut up about the dire circumstances of your marriage!” remarked a third.
“Everyone goes through s**t, if you adore each other and are faithful, you can almost always make it through the discomfort. And on the other end you’re stronger.”
CAREER GOALS
Many fans have been speculating that Gwen and Blake – who tied the knot in July 2021 – were having marriage troubles after they appeared to be more focused on their careers.
Gwen has been spending much of her time on her cosmetics line, GXVE Beauty, and recently announced she’s reuniting with her old band, No Doubt, for a performance at Coachella this Spring.
Meanwhile, Blake’s efforts have gone toward his new tour, Back to the Honky Tonk, which kicks off in February, and the opening of his bar and restaurant, Ole Red, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Blake, 47, recently announced tickets are on sale for his upcoming Oklahoma concert, and some critics thought the additional time on stage might be due to problems at home.
“I won’t want to go because he should be trying to make his marriage work before more concerts,” one person wrote in the post’s comments.
The God’s Country singer received similar comments last week after posting a snap of him and Lauren Alaina, 29, while filming the Season 2 finale of his bar-themed celebrity game show, Barmageddon.
“You need to start spending time with your wife before you lose her,” someone insisted.
“Gwen did a mistake trusting you,” another replied.
SEPARATE GIGS
Questions also arose about the fate of their marriage when they opted to spend New Year’s Eve apart doing separate gigs – with Blake performing in Nashville, Tennessee, and Gwen hosting a party in Las Vegas.
The pair met when Gwen joined The Voice as a coach in 2014.
Blake had been a coach on the singing competition for 23 seasons before departing in May 2023.
Gwen was on the show on and off for years but returned to her coach’s seat right after her husband’s exit, adding more fuel to separation rumors.
The last season, the Spiderwebs singer coached alongside John Legend, Niall Horan, and Reba McEntire.
