“Is Gwen okay? Is this AI?” another user asked.
But Stefani often cites her faith as a source of strength, especially during challenging times like her 2015 divorce from Gavin Rossdale. According to US Weekly“Cool” singer Stefani wants the Catholic Church to abolish Rossdale.
A source said: “Gwen is aware that this decision was made by the Vatican court. She will receive written notice in the coming weeks, but it is official.”
The annulment was a barrier between Stefani and Blake Shelton getting married.
“It was a huge relief for Gwen because she wanted to be married by her priest and have the marriage recognized by the Catholic church,” the source added.
Stefani allegedly wanted an annulment because “religion has always been extremely important to her,” US Weekly report.
Her current husband, Shelton, has also highlighted Gwen’s devotion to her spirituality. “She has a strong faith in God,” he said in 2022. “It’s No. 1 in her life, but she doesn’t impose it on anyone. It’s her personal relationship there.”
In fact, during her engagement to Shelton, Stefani was photographed in a chapel surrounded by Catholic artwork. The photos show the couple next to the Stations of the Cross, the crucifix and the stained glass window of the Virgin Mary.
Elsewhere, Stefani posted photos of herself after she attended an Ash Wednesday mass where she received the Sign of the Cross on her forehead.
