Blake Shelton knows there's a next step in his relationship with Gwen Stefani-- but he's not ready to reveal their marriage plans just yet.
ET's Nancy O'Dell sat down with the country singer at the Backlot BBQ for IHG Rewards Club Chase Mastercard cardholders on Friday, where he dispelled recent rumors that he and Stefani are heading down the aisle.
"First of all, the rumors stuff, I'm not gonna sit here and say that it makes me mad. It's funny. I've learned over the years just to take that for what it is," Shelton said, noting that the reports are "complimentary."
"If I am somehow, and Gwen is somehow, newsworthy enough that they have to make up stories about us just to have something to say, then I guess that's a good problem to have," he reasoned. "You know, I gotta say that we couldn't be happier, and we've never been doing better."
Luke Bryan kicked off the summer season with his Sunset Repeat Tour at Boston’s Gillette Stadium on June 21.
In addition to playing his hits for the sold-out crowd, Luke created a halftime experience of his own by inviting recently retired All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski of the New England Patriots to join him onstage.
The crowd treated Gronk to a loud ovation, and Luke, with football in hand, took the opportunity to send the receiver on a fade route. After overthrowing Gronk on his first attempt, Luke got the ball back from a crowd member—after some pleading—and completed a 15-yard throw to the three-time Super Bowl champ.
“I can now say I completed a pass to Gronk in Gillette Stadium,” Luke said. “How cool is that?”
