There’s something fishy about Gwen Stefani’s mermaid outfit

It looks as if her determinat­ion has paid off

-

Forget over-population, we want as many of Gwen Stefani’s genes out there as possible. The singer and her country singer boyfriend Blake Shelton are said to be expecting their first baby together after she went out dressed as a mermaid for Halloween, with an apparent “baby bump” on show. It sparked speculatio­n that the 48 year old – who’s usually known for her washboard abs – is pregnant with her fourth child.

The pictures came a week after US reports leaked that the pair – who met as coaches on The Voice US and began dating two years ago – were “hyper-focused” on getting pregnant via IVF. “Gwen adores being a mum and Blake has had babies on the brain for months, especially after getting to know Gwen’s boys,” says a source. “They knew they didn’t have time to waste, so they planned this pregnancy down to the last detail.”

As heat recently told you, the Hollaback singer – who already has sons Kingston, 11, Zuma, nine, and Apollo, three, with her ex-husband Gavin Rossdale, 51 – is desperate for a baby girl. “It’s no secret that Gwen would love a daughter, and she’s been open with Blake about this from the get-go,” our insider says.

“Gwen thinks that having a child with him would really secure their relationsh­ip and make them more of a family. It’s now or never, and she’s told Blake she’s not getting any younger, and that he should take the plunge now, or risk regretting not starting a family.

“Gwen absolutely adores her three boys, and says it would complete her family to give them a little baby sister. She says meeting Blake after her divorce from Gavin felt like a miracle.

“She’s fit and healthy for her age and is determined to have a baby one way or another.”
