Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton have been together for more than four years. It feels like longer! It also feels like Gwen has been waiting for Blake to propose. She always prided herself on being an old-fashioned woman and she tends to believe that every relationship will eventually lead to marriage. So how is it that Blake has never proposed? Maybe he has. Or maybe he?s waiting because he knows that Gwen is still trying to get her first marriage annulled. We heard that earlier this year, that Gwen a lifelong Catholic has been working on getting her marriage to Gavin Rossdale annulled, years after they were legally married. I said at the time that I didn?t know the Catholic Church would annul a marriage which produced children and lasted for thirteen years. But here we are.
After four years together, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are ready to take the next step. Constantly followed by rumors of a secret engagement or wedding, the couple ? who have teamed up for a new love song, ?Nobody But You,? featured on Shelton?s newest album Fully Loaded: Gods Country (out Dec. 13) ? have hit a roadblock as they plan their future together, multiple sources tell PEOPLE in its latest cover story.
?Blake was very serious about Gwen right from the start, and early on he thought about proposing,? says a Stefani insider. But the former No Doubt rocker, who is a practicing Roman Catholic, hopes to have a church ceremony with the country star. The Roman Catholic Church does not allow remarriage after a divorce unless the earlier marriage is annulled, which can be a lengthy process, and the Stefani insider confirms a church ceremony ?isn?t possible currently.?
Still, the Voice coaches are certain they?ve found ?the one? in each other and are ?very serious? about their relationship, says a friend of the couple. ?It?s definitely headed toward marriage.?
Over the last few years, Shelton, 43, has become a second father figure to Stefani?s sons, Kingston, 13, Zuma, 11, and Apollo, 5, and the singers? respective families have also become close. ?They?re all very like-minded and comfortable with each other,? says the friend. ?Gwen brings this sparkle to the country world. Her love for Blake is clear, and she?s been embraced by everyone.?
And now with any heartbreak firmly in the past, the couple are focused on living a full life together. ?They fall more and more in love with one another, and their happiness quotient keeps rising,? says the friend.

Well, that adds another aspect to it which I hadn?t considered it?s not so much that Gwen is eager to annul her first marriage although she might be eager, who knows it?s that she wants to get married to Blake in the Catholic Church and they won?t let her until her first marriage is annulled. Got it. So? basically, the Church is slow-walking the annulment and Blake and Gwen are fine anyway. They?re living in sin as an unmarried couple though! What does the church have to say about that?!?

A few weeks ago, Emma Watson, starring in the upcoming Little Women, said in a Vogue interview that she was ?self-partnered,? and the internet reacted. Emma recently said that she?s glad her comment resonated positively with so many folks, and that she hadn?t given it much thought to the remark when she said it:
Much to her surprise, this new term she coined sparked a conversation about what it means to be a single person in the modern age. She told The Rundown at the Little Women premiere, I literally said it as a throwaway comment thinking it would go no further. And then I woke up the next morning and my phones blowing up and I dont know why and its all my friends messaging me being like, self-partnered? This things gone crazy.
Nonetheless, shes glad her stressful moment is inspiring singles across the world. Im so happy people feel empowered, she shared.
But one doesnt have to be single to be self-partnered. Emma said that shes 100 percent committed to being self-partnered even when shes in a relationship. The 29-year-old explained, Its much more about your relationship with yourself and the feeling of not somehow deficient in some way cause youre not with someone.

I wondered whether Emma was going to get a lot of flak about this, so I?m glad that she?s heard from people who felt empowered by what she said, and had a new term to describe themselves (if they choose). I also really like that Emma stresses that she?s specifically referring to the relationship that she has with herself, regardless of whether she?s in a relationship with someone else: It?s not a word meant to describe just being single. I know so many people who have partners who devote so much of their time and energy to those people and sort of forget themselves in the process. Emmas comments are a great reminder that its important to pay attention to yourself regardless of whether you have a partner.

The Duchess of Cambridge is quite sporty and athletic. She always has been, even in her school days. These days, she loves walking/hiking, swimming and tennis. I suspect she also does yoga and she probably does some kind of light-weight-training too, but hiking, swimming and tennis are the activities we know about for sure. In fact, the whole Middleton family is into tennis. They?re quite friendly with Roger Federer (Carole is in love with him) and William and Kate used someone?s ?private funds? to relocate their tennis court at Anmer Hall. Now it looks like Kate is quite keen to improve her tennis skills she?s taking tennis lessons at a private club.
While Kate Middleton works on her ace serve, her three kids are working on their tennis skills as well! The royal mom and Prince William have been seen taking tennis lessons at the exclusive Hurlingham club in Fulham, south London ? and sometimes, the whole family comes along. The kids ? Prince George, 6, Princess Charlotte, 4, and Prince Louis, 1 ? have been on the playground outside, having fun while their parents hit balls. Even when Kate was pregnant with Louis, she still found time for some lessons.
?It wasn?t hard-going tennis ? they weren?t rushing around. They are obviously choosing to improve their tennis,? a source at the club told PEOPLE. ?She hits the ball with nice top spin. She is a good minor athlete.?
Kate and William, both 37, have also been seen having lunch at the club with their two older children ? without their nanny. The source said George and Charlotte ?looked perky and alert. It was a normal family of four. They were enjoying the sport and some lovely, natural family time.?
Prince George is also getting into the sport! On Wimbledon Morning Coffee, a show released on the famed tennis tournament?s Twitter page to recap the previous day?s events, the hosts chatted about Kate Middleton?s outing to watch a few matches this past summer. The royal mom of three sat with British tennis player Katie Boulter and retired British star athlete Anne Keothavong, who told the host that talk turned to George?s interest in the sport. Kate reportedly shared that Prince George?s favorite player is Roger Federer ? and the little royal has even played tennis with the sports star!

I mean? I don?t begrudge Kate her tennis lessons. I do think it?s odd that she barely pieces together two events a week and yet she finds that she has enough free time for tennis lessons at a posh club. Maybe this is part of the deal that William and Kate struck though he gets to trim rose bushes and she gets to take ?tennis lessons? at a posh club. I would be very interested in seeing her tennis instructor. Basically, the Cambridge marriage is fine, because they both have their posh little ?escapes.? Also: this is the same club where William works out with the yummy mummies, correct? Hm.
