Blake Shelton's weight gain has come into the spotlight amid recent rumors regarding the state of his marriage to Miranda Lambert.

The country singers have been reported to be in a state of marital distress and the most recent accusation comes from In Touch, which claims that Shelton has taken to drinking and binge eating in order to deal with the problems in his marriage.

"Blake has turned to copious amounts of alcohol in recent months to escape the swirling reports of his troubled marriage with Miranda," said a source, according to In Touch.

When Life and Style Weekly reported that the couple's marriage was in trouble due to Shelton allegedly becoming too close with singer Cady Groves, both Shelton and Lambert took to Twitter in an effort to laugh off the story. However, several months later, rumors continue to plague the couple.

As for the latest report by In Touch, Gossip Cop reports that it is categorically false.

Although Shelton may have appeared to gain a few pounds recently, it seems to be unlikely that is was caused by some form of marital distress. The Voice coach even refuted marriage rumors following Danielle Bradbery and his reality show win on Tuesday.

"No matter what you might read, she and I are together constantly and it makes my life that much better," Shelton told E!.
