Nothing can stop Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton from taking their romance to the next level, except for Gavin Rossdale. The Voice coaches are reportedly planning to tie the knot but there is one problem, the Bush singer is dragging out his divorce from the No Doubt singer to apparently try to put a hold on the wedding, but she and her new beau are allegedly ready to battle it out.
HollwoodLife reports that according to In Touch magazine, the 46-year-old wants so much to take her relationship with Shelton to the next level but Rossdale is hindering her plans by not rushing out the divorce proceedings.
“[Gwen]’s desperately in love with Blake and wants to start a new life with him, but she can’t until the divorce is final,” the source told the magazine. “This has turned into an all-out war with Gwen’s ex — and both Gwen and Blake feel like they’re under siege.”
Since his cheating scandal with the nanny, Stefani was ready to leave Rossdale and the drama behind and wanted to have a fresh start with the 39-year-old country superstar, but it seems like Rossdale doesn't like the fact that his estranged wife is moving on too quickly.
“Gwen thinks he’s taunting her. It’s really screwing with her," the source further told In Touch. "Blake loves Gwen more than anything and he’s very protective."
Rossdale's apparent plan to drag out the divorce to break up the new relationship has apparently backfired because instead of giving up on Stefani, Shelton is reportedly willing more than ever to marry her.
"He hates that Gavin gets under her skin," the source futher stated. "Some guys would run the other way in this kind of situation. But seeing how it was getting to her, he recently made a surprising decision — to marry Gwen come hell or high water.”
