Gwen Stefani is not letting criticism from some of her fans deter her from expressing her appreciation for Jonathan Roumie of “The Chosen” or for Christianity. Stefani recently got pushback from some of her followers after her enthusiastic response to an interview Roumie did with Tucker Carlson.
“Wow @JonathanRoumie u r a powerful inspirational human…what an enlightening intelligent beautiful interview thank you for being u,” Stefani posted on X March 6.

Gwen Stefani Takes More Criticism
Gwen Stefani is a Grammy Award-winning and -nominated artist who rose to fame as the lead singer of No Doubt, which achieved mainstream success with the band’s third album, “Tragic Kingdom.” Stefani recently released the new single, “Still Gonna Love You.”
Stefani met her now-husband Blake Shelton while both were coaches on “The Voice.” Shelton has credited Stefani with encouraging him to go to church for the first time. Stefani was raised Catholic and has said that her faith in God helped her to get through her divorce and be open to finding love again.
“For me it was a spiritual intervention,” she said. “It was a true miracle. I think the only way I got through all the hard times is just my spiritual faith and my belief in God, because I’ve just seen the miracles around me.”
Both Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton have publicly voiced praise for the popular series, “The Chosen,” which is based on the life of Jesus and stars Jonathan Roumie as Jesus. The first two episodes of Season 5 of the show will release in theaters on March 28.
In May 2024, Shelton praised “The Chosen” on X, saying he had just finished Season 3, “and I absolutely love it.” Stefani replied that she was “obsessed” and couldn’t wait to watch Season 4.
During the Christmas holiday season, Stefani partnered with Catholic prayer and meditation app Hallow for its Pray25 Advent challenge, which also featured Roumie, as well as Lauren Daigle, Bear Grylls, Kevin James, and Francis Chan. Stefani took criticism for that decision at the time, with one follower saying, “While I respect anyone’s personal choices, this is definitely a new direction and seems, well, disingenuous.”
