Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are one of country music’s most talked about couples yet, despite what you may read in the tabloids, Blake says they’re taking things slow.

On Sunday (January 17), he was stopped by paparazzi outside a grocery store in Studio City, CA, and was asked if he is about to start a family with Gwen.

“I think it’s awfully early to be talking about that, don’t you?” he responded as he loaded his car.

When told that he looks really happy, he said, “Well, we are.”

Blake has been working on a new album and it would seem he’s been using the events over the last year as inspiration. “I’ve written more than I’ve written in 15 years, for obvious reasons — all the awful things that have happened in my personal life — but the way the year ended is also the greatest of my life,” he told Country Countdown USA.

No release date for the album has been given.
