BLAKE’S BUDS Blake Shelton drinks and plays darts with gal pals without wife Gwen Stefani as pair ‘grows apart’ in ‘tense’ marriage
Gwen sparked concern when she appeared to delete posts with Blake from Instagram.
BLAKE Shelton partied with his friends on the set of Barmageddon amid rumors his marriage to Gwen Stefani is struggling.
The country music star, 47, drank and played a darts game with his co-host Nikki Garcia and show guest, singer Lauren Alaina.
Blake went head-to-head against fellow country star Lauren in the Barmageddon season finale.
In a clip from the episode, he was seen watching from the sidelines with a drink in his hand while Lauren tried to hit green balloons with a dart.
“Oh, this ought to be good!” the singer scoffed playfully as Lauren stepped up to the board.
The singer, 29, missed the balloons by a long shot.
“Nikki! Are you okay?” Blake asked Nikki in concern, pretending that Lauren had hit her with the dart.
Lauren looked horrified and ran over to Nikki, who was covering her eye with both hands.
“No, I’m just kidding!” Nikki said, laughing, as she took away her hands.
Lauren shot Blake a mock-furious look, yelling, “You as*hole!” as the Voice alum laughed.
The video was shared on Barmageddon’s Instagram account with the caption, “NO ONE is safe on the set of Barmageddon.”
Blake has been focusing on promoting his show amid reports that he’s having relationship trouble with Gwen, 54.
Sources claimed their marriage was on the rocks after they spent New Year’s Eve apart.
Blake performed at New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash, while Gwen put on her own show in Las Vegas.
An insider told Life & Style that Blake was upset that he couldn’t spend the night with his partner.
“Gwen and Blake’s marriage is definitely in trouble,” they added.
“Lately, they’ve been at odds about everything from career decisions and the parenting of her three boys to where they spend most of their time.”
“The tension continues to grow, and Blake and Gwen are drifting apart as a result,” they concluded.
DELETING POSTS?
Last month, fans speculated that Gwen had been deleting posts of Blake from her Instagram.
The Hollaback Girl singer shared a video of herself getting ready in her dressing room.
Fans asked about the absence of Blake from her grid in the comments section.
“What happened to all the videos of you and Blake?” one asked at the time.
“I haven’t seen them either!” a second added.
The duo married at their Oklahoma ranch in 2021 after meeting on The Voice in 2015.
