Gwen Stefani is feeling especially grateful this year as she and Blake Shelton mark their fourth wedding anniversary. The couple, who tied the knot on July 3, 2021, in an intimate ceremony at Shelton’s Oklahoma ranch, celebrated the milestone with heartfelt tributes shared on social media.

Stefani, 55, took to Instagram to express her love and appreciation for her husband, 49, posting a touching video compilation of sweet moments from their years together. Accompanied by their duet “Purple Irises,” which they performed at the 2024 ACM Awards, the video included tender kisses and candid smiles. “7-3-21. every day i thank God for u @blakeshelton. happy anniversary  i love u so much ,” Stefani wrote alongside the post.

Shelton responded with his own nostalgic post, sharing a throwback wedding photo of the couple locked in a kiss. “My pretty girl… I’m the luckiest man to be married to you and to know you. I love you @gwenstefani!!!!!! Happy anniversary!!!!” he wrote.

The love story of Stefani and Shelton began years earlier, when they first met as coaches on The Voice—Stefani during its seventh season in 2014, Shelton in his seventh season overall. Their friendship blossomed into romance in November 2015, and five years later, Shelton proposed. The engagement announcement came on October 27, 2020, with Stefani sharing a joyful Instagram photo of her kissing Shelton while proudly displaying her diamond ring. “@blakeshelton yes please!  gx,” she captioned the image. Shelton posted the same photo, adding, “@gwenstefani thanks for saving my 2020… And the rest of my life.. I love you. I heard a YES!”

Both bring rich family histories to their union. Stefani is mother to three sons—Kingston, 19, Zuma, 16, and Apollo, 11—from her previous marriage to Gavin Rossdale. The couple separated in 2015 after nearly 12 years of marriage, finalizing their divorce in 2016. Shelton was previously married twice, first to Kaynette Williams (2003–2006) and then to fellow country star Miranda Lambert (2011–2015).

In a 2022 People magazine cover story, Shelton spoke candidly about his role as a stepparent, emphasizing how seriously he takes his relationship with Stefani’s children. “Even though I’m a stepparent, I take that job very seriously. The kids see me as a very important person in their life,” he shared.

Shelton also described his relationship with Stefani as the “easiest thing” he’s ever been part of. “To me, she’s my best friend and everything that I need and lean on,” he said, underscoring the deep bond they share.

As they celebrate four years of marriage, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton’s journey stands as a testament to love, partnership, and family—an inspiring chapter still unfolding with each passing year.
