Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani spent the past few months quarantining together in Oklahoma amidst the coronavirus pandemic. Now, they are opening up to their fans about what life was like for them in quarantine.
“This summer during quarantine, I learned how to make jam,” Shelton said in a new video as photos of the homemade jam-making process were shown. “I have about six or eight peach trees, and every year they make a bunch of peaches and we eat them. But this year, since we were there and there were so many and there was nothing else to do, we got online and we learned how to make jam. We’ve made, like, cases of peach jam. That’s a lot of work! Probably will never do that again but I know how to do it.”
Stefani added that it was “magical” spending all her time with Shelton and her kids because “we don’t ever have that much solid time together.”
“We did do a lot of fun stuff,” the 50 year-old singer said. “We did a lot of cooking. I learned how to make sourdough bread like everybody else; it took me like a month to get the starter right. We did so much stuff. We built a garden. We planted zinnias. I mean, we planted thousands of zinnia flowers. It was a lot of stuff that you dream about doing that you never have time to do.”
This comes after a source came forward to claim that Shelton and Stefani were going through a “rough patch” after finally leaving Oklahoma and moving to a mansion in Los Angeles, California.
“They feel suffocated and stressed,” a source told US Weekly [1]. “They’re both stretched to the limit.”
Friends say that much of the stresses on their relationship appear to stem from the new $13.2 million mansion that they just bought in the ritzy Encino neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. After spending months of quarantine in Oklahoma with very little drama, this move has reportedly become a “nightmare” for them.
“Friends say this move has turned into a nightmare,” the source explained. “This is the toughest period they’ve had so far without a doubt.”
However, the insider made sure to add that there is still hope for the couple, who had planned to get married in Los Angeles in the fall.
“They know how to compromise,” the source said, going on to say that they have found ways in the past to “work through any tension and look at the bigger picture.”
