The COVID-19 pandemic has, reportedly, put Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton's relationship to a test. Allegedly, the couple had a rough time when they spent their coronavirus quarantine time at the country singer's Oklahoma ranch.
According to Us Weekly, Stefani and Shelton are "working through a rough patch" after spending most of their pandemic time at his ranch. A source told the publication they "feel suffocated and stressed," stretching themselves to the limit.
