Gwen Stefani

Gwen Stefani was in the middle of her concert in West Palm Beach, Florida, when she was handed a poster that read, "My son was bullied from first to fifth grade. He would come home every day upset, but he'd go to his room, listen to your music and smile."

Stefani was visibly moved and immediately invited the young boy on stage: "Get up here right now, right now," she said.

The crowd erupted with cheers as he made his way to the stage and jumped into her arms.

"It was the beginning of hell," Stefani tells the August issue of Harper's Bazaar. She goes on to add that she spent the next several months going through "hell" and "torture," trying to unravel this "big secret" that had been right under her nose for quite some time.

​However, E! News has obtained exclusive photos of the duo hanging out at Adam Levine and Maroon 5's Halloween party in Studio City, Calif., over the weekend that seem to show otherwise.

In the photos we see Shelton—wearing a rocker wig and headband—holding Stefani close with his hands on her shoulders, eventually moving them down to her waist. At one point he evens ends up with one hand on her backside!
