Amid the hustle and bustle of Gwen Stefani's upcoming reunion show rehearsals, Blake Shelton has allegedly found solace in indulging in comfort food.
According to sources who spoke to the National Enquirer, the country star's recent weight gain can be attributed to his idle hands during this period of extra downtime.
After departing from "The Voice" the previous year to prioritize his family, the "Minimum Wage" singer has encountered unexpected consequences during his time off.
Blake Shelton's Fitness & Fluctuations
Per a source cited by the National Enquirer, 47-year-old Blake Shelton has found himself lacking in work opportunities and succumbing to a rather unusual routine filled with sandwiches loaded with pickles and chips.
Amid it all, his wife, Gwen Stefani, known for her alternative style, has been fully occupied preparing for her highly anticipated comeback concert alongside her former bandmates in the group No Doubt.
"Gwen hasn't performed with the band in over a decade, so she's had to put a lot of time into rehearsing," according to the source. "She doesn't have time to babysit Blake."
They said the 54-year-old frontwoman has consistently been recognized as a dedicated fitness enthusiast. Her healthy lifestyle choices have also influenced her husband, contributing positively to his well-being.
Despite the overwhelming busyness of her schedule, Blake's alleged discontent grows, and he seeks solace in food.
Shedding extra weight remains challenging despite his efforts to make healthier choices by giving up high-calorie cocktails.
The source explained, "People were proud of him for doing a Dry January, but he compensated by eating fattening foods in place of booze."
"His battle of the bulge has been so frustrating he's given up trying!"

Weighted Expectations
Another report revealed that Gwen Stefani was determined to support her husband in their quest for weight loss, enlisting the help of a personal trainer.
An insider explained that the "Don't Speak" singer has assumed responsibility and devised a nutritious diet and exercise regimen for Blake's well-being.
They further claimed that Gwen wants the Oklahoma native to prioritize his well-being in the coming months.
"She's concerned about his health and wants him to take the necessary steps to address any issues."
The "Honey Bee" singer's close-knit group, who are familiar with his situation, have also disclosed that he has experienced a significant weight gain of approximately 50 pounds since tying the knot with Gwen in July 2021.
"Blake's got no choice but to follow her instructions," they said.
"When they eat, he can't have anything with ice cream. Steak is also out of the question. He can have fish, chicken, vegetables, rice, or a plain baked potato with no sour cream or butter. It's boring, but he has to admit he feels better."
