Is Blake Shelton getting BOTOX? Gwen Stefani may have transferred obsession to husband, says expert
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Gwen Stefani, who was frequently slammed for getting botox and changing her appearance, might have rubbed off her obsession to look younger on her husband Blake Shelton. A surgeon has claimed that while Stefani, 53, might feel pressured to look "young, trendy, and glamorous," due to the pop industry, Shelton, 46, who is a country singer, would not work well "if he started to get really fancy."
"It's highly possible that for a period, Blake was doing a little Botox for The Voice, but only on his forehead, which generally stops men from looking angry," Dr Richard Westreich told The Sun. "Based on my experience with wives, partners, and aging, Blake may have gotten Botox because Gwen might have made the appointment for him." Stefani and Shelton tied the knot in 2021 and have had a rock-solid marriage ever since. However, many find them to be a celebrity mismatch, considering the backgrounds both the singers come from. While Stefani prefers looking glammed up during her public outings, her husband is almost always seen in comfy and relaxed clothing.

'Who knows what Gwen might recommend next for Blake'
"Blake wouldn't have had the Botox if he hadn't been on The Voice," said Dr Westreich, a New York-based facial plastic surgery specialist with over 13 years of experience. "Similar to what other women might do for their husbands, and maybe because Gwen is into her treatments, she might've asked her husband to get Botox. Often, the wives might instigate it and then book the Botox appointments for them. Who knows what Gwen might recommend next for Blake," he pointed out.
Gwen could be opting for 'tweakments'
Stefani, for her part, has had noticeable changes in her appearance over the years. The ‘Hollaback Girl’ singer has allegedly undergone a chin implant and a facelift, as well as Botox and fillers. However, she has never admitted to any of it. Moreover, her puffy face towards the end of 2022 led to speculation that she could have been opting for cosmetic procedures known as "tweakments" in the form of regular Botox, fillers, and skin tightening procedures that are known to help avoid future and full facelifts. "Overall, Gwen looks a lot younger than Blake, while he's actually younger than her. Gwen is 53 but doesn't look it, while Blake looks older than her," the surgeon remarked.
'Less pressure on men to look younger'
Dr Westreich goes on to note that men in the music industry do not age well because there is "less pressure on them to look younger," adding that "anti-aging procedures can be feminizing for them." He said, "Men getting brow lifts, face lifts, fillers, and even eye procedures can bring feminizing results. With someone like Blake getting Botox, it's normally because they're also bothered if they get the deep brow lines between their eyebrows."
Stefani has also opened up about starting to get influenced by the country singer's style, as per the outlet. While speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in August 2020, the ‘Don’t Speak’ singer said, "I actually have a bunch of cowboy boots now, and I have an old pair that are now five years old because that's how long we've been hanging out, me and Blake Shelton."
