Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani met on the set of the popular singing competition show, “The Voice,” where they were both coaches and quickly developed a close friendship that eventually turned into romance.
Shelton is a country music singer and songwriter who has released numerous hit songs throughout his career, including “Austin,” “Some Beach,” and “God’s Country.” He was also named People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” in 2017. Stefani is a pop singer and songwriter who rose to fame in the 1990s as the lead singer of the rock band No Doubt and has also released several successful solo albums, including “Love. Angel. Music. Baby.” and “This Is What the Truth Feels Like.”
In 2021, the couple had their gorgeous wedding at Shelton’s Oklahoma ranch, which was officiated by none other than Carson Daly, the host of “The Voice.” Since then, the couple has been living in wedded bliss, and they’ve even occasionally performed together while introducing the other as their husband or wife.
After celebrating their first wedding anniversary, Shelton revealed that instead of focusing on his country music career, he is focusing on his family. Stefani has three children: 16-year-old Kingston, 14-year-old Zuma, and 9-year-old Apollo. Shelton said that he loves his career, but he has entered a new phase of his life that looks different than any other phase in his life. Now, he is a doting stepfather to Stefani’s three sons.
In an Instagram post that Stefani posted on Apr. 25, 2023, she invited everyone to come see her on June 2023 for a one-time concert at Warwick Castle in England. While many were enthused to see the rocker overseas, Stefani flying to another continent meant the Shelton-Stefani household would have to change the dynamics, given that the matriarch would be gone for quite a while.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight in 2022, the award-winning country star shed light on his new life with his wife and music star, Stefani. Shelton shared that he loves his music career, but some things are more important than work.
“Look, I love music and I love ‘The Voice.’ I love all the cool things I get to do with my job, but those things all take a backseat now to Gwen and the kids and it’s just a new phase of my life,” Shelton said.
Shelton admitted he never saw his life taking the remarkable turn that it has. If he had to guess where his life would end up, he didn’t foresee Stefani in his big picture before meeting her.
Now that Shelton has some big shoes to fill, he might be tending to his stepsons while her wife is away and performing in another country. Although Stefani has not explicitly revealed if Shelton would be coming with her on the performance, that seemed to be the case since the kids are living comfortably in their lavish country ranch in Oklahoma.
Aside from taking care of the kids, Shelton has to take care of the family’s new babies – a litter of six healthy, beautiful kittens. Stefani was so fond of the feline babies that she had to demand his Country superstar of a husband to take a photo of the mom cat, who was pregnant while she was on tour.
“doing anything fri, june 23rd? 🏰 come sing with me at the warwick castle !! 🙂 gx,” she shared on the platform, which has now amassed more than 16,900 likes.
Fans of the singer were also expressing their excitement about her performance, saying they had booked their tickets already to see her.
