When Ellen Asked Blake Shelton A Personal Question, Their Conversation Took An Uncomfortable Turn

Tune into Ellen DeGeneres’ show, and you’ll probably see an awkward moment or two! But when Blake Shelton appeared on set, viewers were in for a ride. The interview took a dark turn, you see, when the host asked Shelton a surprisingly personal question. And let’s just say that the country singer wasn’t very happy about it.

Happy start

Everything had started so well, too. To begin with, Shelton was happy to play along. When the host pointed out that the country star was no longer considered People’s “Sexiest Man Alive,” he only objected in a mocking way. It was the kind of light-hearted chit-chat audiences have come to expect from Ellen. But the interview went downhill from there...

Visibly upset

That’s because Ellen decided to grill Shelton about his relationship with Gwen Stefani. And though it appeared at first that the host was going to have a little fun with her guest, Shelton became visibly upset. Yep, his reaction showed that he wasn’t finding the whole thing as entertaining as the audience did.

Familiar with the gossip

Perhaps it was because Shelton’s previous relationships have been talked about so much before. Take his marriage to Miranda Lambert, for instance. That’s been covered all over. Lambert and Shelton had met at the CMT 100 Greatest Duets Concert, and after they tied the knot in 2011 they were seemingly fair game for the press.

Swiriling rumors

But after Shelton and Lambert split in 2015, the country king began a relationship with Stefani – his co-coach on The Voice. And as both of them live their lives in the public eye, all kinds of rumors began to swirl around their coupling. There was a lot of gossip for Ellen to address, then, when Shelton came onto her show.
