Gwen's Pregnant!

They Thought Having a Baby Was an Impossible Dream — but Sources Say That Dream Has Come True for Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton.

“They never lost hope that they could start a family of their own!”

— a friend tells Star

ON May 13, during Mother’s Day weekend, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton were all smiles as they enjoyed a family meal at the Pines Resort in California’s Yosemite National Park before heading out for some sightseeing. “They looked beyond happy,” an eyewitness reports. “Gwen was hugging her sons, and Blake was beaming, looking very much like a proud papa.”

Ironically (and happily!), it seems that Blake, 40, may soon be able to say he really is a dad. Sources say the couple were visiting the park for a very special celebration — because Gwen is pregnant! “I heard she was beside herself when she found out at a recent doctor’s appointment,” a friend tells Star, “and that when Gwen broke the news to Blake while they were spending a quiet evening together at home, he was just overcome with emotion. They both got teary-eyed and held each other tight”

ANSWERED PRAYERS

Given that Gwen is 47, those closest to the couple see the pregnancy as nothing short of a miracle. “They knew that conceiving was bound to be a challenge,” the friend says. “Gwen and Blake had been trying to have a baby together for a while and had even been considering IVF. But they held off on the treatments and didn’t give up — and apparently, it happened the natural way. If there’s one thing you can say about Blake, it’s that he’s certainly not lazy!”
