The putative connection to Stephen, Count of Blois is noted in Ormerod, History of ... Chester, 2nd edition, 3:187. But there does not seem to be contemporary evidence to support this pedigree and it is not accepted by modern scholars. See for example the entry for Gislebert de Venables in Keats-Rohan, Domesday People, 212, which makes no mention of such a connection, presumably because no contemporary evidence was found to support it.
