One moment in particular stands out as a milestone that even surprised Stefani herself: winning a CMT Award for Collaborative Video of the Year for their 2020 duet,\u00a0<em>\u201cNobody But You.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-13\">\n<div id=\"vads-ad-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Reflecting on this achievement during an October 2020 interview on\u00a0<em>Late Night with Seth Meyers<\/em>, Stefani expressed genuine amazement at how far her career has evolved. \u201cWhen you say that, I get shocked,\u201d she told Meyers, referencing her unexpected shift into the country genre. \u201cI also think about this a lot; I love to play this game with myself where I picture myself in my\u00a0<em>Voice<\/em>\u00a0chair, right? Because I didn\u2019t know Blake Shelton existed before I went on that show.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, before joining\u00a0<em>The Voice<\/em>\u00a0as a coach, Stefani had no idea who Shelton was, despite his massive success as one of country music\u2019s biggest stars. \u201cSo, I just always like to picture myself and think about before I knew him and that person I didn\u2019t know at all. And then imagine that now, he\u2019s my boyfriend, and I won [a country song award]. It\u2019s inconceivable that we would even know each other and be friends, let alone do music together,\u201d she said. Yet, she emphasized how natural their connection feels, both personally and musically, despite their different backgrounds.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\"><\/div>\n<p>Stefani and Shelton\u2019s relationship, which officially culminated in marriage in 2021, has been marked by deep mutual support. Shelton recently opened up about how Stefani \u201csaved\u201d him during a difficult period in his life. In an interview with\u00a0<em>The Good Dish<\/em>, he said, \u201cWe found each other at a very low point in each other\u2019s lives. She kept me from going to the absolute bottom, you know? It was like literally falling off a cliff and a hand reached out and caught me is what it feels like.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cI\u2019ve never had that with somebody where it just felt like, no matter what, she has my back. It\u2019s the greatest feeling ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-14\"><\/div>\n<p>From separate worlds of punk-pop and country to becoming collaborators and life partners, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton\u2019s journey continues to inspire fans with its unexpected milestones and heartfelt authenticity.
