Not easy! Blake Shelton “really agonized” over his decision to leave The Voice following season 23, a source exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly.
“He was in two minds for a while because the show has given him so much — and certainly way more than just a financial perspective,” the insider says, noting the country crooner, 46, has “loved mentoring these upcoming performers.”

“It just took so much of his time — and he was the bedrock of the show,” the insider says, pointing out that Shelton is ready to spend more time with the “Hollaback Girl” singer’s three sons, who she shares with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale.
