Blake Shelton's marriage to Gwen Stefani feels 'new'
Blake Shelton's relationship with Gwen Stefani "still feels new".
The couple will celebrate their 10th anniversary together later this year but the 48-year-old country star admitted it doesn't feel like so much time has passed for himself and the No Doubt frontwoman, who he went on to marry in 2021.
He told People magazine: "It honestly does [feel like time is flying by]. Some of the things that we talk about, we're to the point in our relationship that it's like, 'Oh, remember what happened...' and you realise, 'Oh my God, that was eight years ago!'
"It's like, how did this happen so quickly?
"10 years is a long time [but the relationship] still feels new for me.
"I feel like that might be the key to happiness, is that it feels just as exciting and new and happy."
Although Blake is currently promoting his new album, 'For Recreational Use Only', he is looking forward to a family summer with Gwen and her sons Kingston, 18, Zuma, 16, and 11-year-old Apollo - whose father is Gavin Rossdale - though they haven't yet made any plans.
He said: "I'm looking forward to the kids being out of school. Gwen and I pretty much have our summers wide open. We both have a few shows here and there, but nothing that's tying us down to keep us from going and doing something fun.
"We don't have any plans — which is our favourite plan."
Gwen, 55, appears on 'Hangin' On' on Blake's new album and he admitted they spend "months" talking about their collaborations, though she is "way more particular" about lyrics than he is.
He said: "We live together, so we walk around the house singing these songs all the time and we have months to talk about, 'Hey, maybe you jump on that part.'
"By the time we get to the studio, we're normally really prepared.
"Gwen is way more particular when it comes to a lyric. I've never been as much of a stickler as she is. It's really important for her to be able to see herself in the lyric that she's singing vs. me. I've sung about going to prison, and there's never really been a debate."
The pair recorded another track but have decided to hold it back for Blake's next record.
He said: "We were both so fired up about both of them that we ended up holding one back for the next project."

Blake Lively's sister Robyn is 'proud' of her
Blake Lively's sibling Robyn will always be "proud" of her. The 37-year-old actress has shared a series of supportive messages from Twin Peaks star Robyn, 53, after a judge dismissed It Ends With Us actor Justin Baldoni's countersuit against her, after Blake had accused him of causing her "severe emotional distress". In a series of posts on her Instagram Story, Robyn - who did not mention the lawsuits - shared family photos of them over the years. She wrote: "I held you then... now... and always. "No one knows you quite like I do, and man am I ever proud of you ... I love you sister." Blake shared the posts with her own Instagram followers with Donna Lewis' song I Love You Always Forever playing in the background. Referencing the track, she wrote: "I love you more. Always. Forever. Near or far. Closer together." This week, Judge Lewis J. Liman granted a motion to dismiss Justin's $400 million lawsuit against Blake and her husband Ryan Reynolds, as he accused them of extortion and defamation. While the lawsuit was dismissed, it was noted that his legal team have until June 23 to amend claims of breach of implied contract and tortious interference with contract, if they want to. Justin's attorney Bryan Freedman has stressed they still have things to fight for and will be amending their complaint. He told Us Weekly in a statement: 'Ms. Lively and her team's predictable declaration of victory is false, so let us be clear about the latest ruling. 'While the Court dismissed the defamation-related claims, the Court has invited us to amend four out of the seven claims against Ms. Lively, which will showcase additional evidence and refined allegations. "This case is about false accusations of sexual harassment and retaliation and a nonexistent smear campaign, which Ms. Lively's own team conveniently describes as 'untraceable' because they cannot prove what never happened.' Following the judge's ruling, Blake vowed to keep fighting for other women. She wrote on Instagram: "Last week, I stood proudly alongside 19 organizations united in defending women's rights to speak up for their safety. Like so many others, I've felt the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit, including the manufactured shame that tries to break us. "While the suit against me was defeated, so many don't have the resources to fight back. "I'm more resolved than ever to continue to stand for every woman's right to have a voice in protecting themselves, including their safety, their integrity, their dignity and their story. "There are protections out there. Check out some of the incredible organizations below for resources and information. "With love and gratitude for the many who stood by me, many of you I know. Many of you I don't. But I will never stop appreciating or advocating for you. "- B (sic)"

Scott and Kelley Wolf split after 21 years
Scott and Kelley Wolf have split after 21 years of marriage. The Party of Five actor and the 48-year-old reality star - who have Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11, together - married in May 2004 after two years together, but on Tuesday (10.06.25) Kelley confirmed they have separated following a "long, quiet journey", though she declined to give any details. She wrote on Instagram: 'It is with a heavy heart that Scott and I are moving forward with the dissolution of our marriage. "This has been a long, quiet journey for me—rooted in hope, patience, and care for our children. While I will not speak publicly about the details, I feel peace knowing that I've done everything I can to walk this path with integrity and compassion.' Kelley went on to praise Scott, 57, as a great dad and "one of the best partners" she could have shared her life with as she vowed to put the children first. She continued: 'Scott Wolf is one of the best fathers I've ever known and one of the best partners a woman could have the privilege of sharing life with. 'He is kind, thoughtful, funny, and beautiful in spirit. We both look forward to an extraordinary life centered around the most extraordinary children. My priority has always been their wellbeing—and my own healing. That will never change. 'I am stepping into a chapter of peace, freedom, and protection—with grace. Thank you to the many friends, family, and professionals who have held space for me with love. Please respect our privacy during this time. May we all remember: healing isn't loud. It's sacred. [white heart emoji]." Scott admitted it hadn't been an easy decision for the couple to separate. He told People magazine: "After 21 years of marriage, I have made the most difficult decision of my life, and filed for divorce from my wife Kelley. Our children have always been, and continue to be, the loves of our lives and our every priority, so I kindly ask for privacy at this time as we help guide them through this new chapter." Last year, the former The Real World: New Orleans star admitted she had come close to leaving their relationship in the past but Scott had vowed to fight for them to stay together. Marking their 20th wedding anniversary, Kelley shared the story on Instagram as she recalled telling Scott: 'I love you. I love you more than I've ever loved anybody. I almost loved you enough to stop loving myself. But I remembered that nothing in life is going to last if I leave myself behind. I can see the future of that scenario and one day you'll wake up and wonder what happened to that girl and I won't even remember who she was. Well, I had promised her that I would never ever leave her again. so when you're ready, I'll be here, but I will not stick around while somebody tries to excavate fault in me.' And he responded: "You are really going to leave. I believe you. I can see it. I can feel it. And there is no chance in hell I am going to let that happen, so let's do this. Let's do this hard part, the uncomfortable part. The part where I have to look in the mirror and see my old pattern where I have tried to find fault in somebody in the hopes that I would prove that nobody can really do the hard stuff and stick around.'' Kelley added: 'And that day, I won't go into all the details, but we went into the cave. Together. And when we came out, you couldn't find two people more bonded, more connected, and more clear about the promise we were about to make to each other."

R Kelly seeks to move to house arrest over death plot fear
R. Kelly has made a bid to be released from prison. The I Believe I Can Fly singer - who is serving a 31-year sentence for child sexual abuse crimes - is seeking to be removed from federal custody and placed on house arrest after alleging his life is in danger behind bars. An emergency motion for temporary furlough was filed in federal court on Tuesday (10.06.25) and alleges three officials with the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) devised a plot to have Kelly killed by another inmate. The filing, which was obtained by People magazine, contains a declaration from the inmate, Mikeal Glenn Stine, who alleged he was asked to carry out the plot by three high-ranking individuals while serving his sentence at the United States Penitentiary Tucson in Arizona. Stine claimed to be a member of the Aryan Brotherhood and was titled commissioner at one point, which gave him the "power to order beatings, stabbings, and executions that were carried out by other members of the A.B." He alleged a BOP official who had previously "directed [Stine] to order assaults, beatings, and killings of inmates" approached him about killing the 58-year-old singer, and he was then transferred across the country to the Federal Correctional Institute Butner in North Carolina where Kelly is behind bars, and was eventually placed in the same unit as him. If he completed the act, Stine alleged officials told him he'd be allowed to escape from custody and live out his final months as a "free man", which appealed because he said he had been diagnosed with terminal cancer at the time. Shortly after being relocated, he alleged an official approached him and said: "You need to do what you came here for." But after watching Kelly for weeks, he had a change of heart and told the singer about the supposed plot. Stine - who has filed more than 100 civil suits and petitions in federal court over the last two decades - claimed he would undergo a polygraph test to establish he is telling the truth and said he'd also reveal the names of those inmates whose beatings and killings he has been involved with over the years. Kelly's lawyer argued in the filing that "drastic relief is warranted" to protect his client. The attorney added: "Mr. Kelly's continued incarceration while he knows his life is in jeopardy constitutes cruel and unusual punishment." After being attacked in the past, Kelly is said to be even more fearful of a future incident because he believes prison staff may not adequately protect him. His attorney Beau Brindley told People: "He is not safe in federal custody. And to keep him in prison while he is under threat like this is cruel and unusual punishment."
