Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton
are one of music's hottest couples,
despite being such an unlikely pair.
From their early beginnings
appearing on "The Voice" together
to their engagement announcement in 2020,
their relationship has gone from strength to strength,
and the public just can't get enough.
- Blake! - Blake, Blake, Blake!
- Blake, Blake! - Blake, sir, yes sir!
The down-home country singer and the uptown pop superstar
seemed like an odd couple, but their romance flourished,
and they confirmed the rumors about a romantic relationship
in November of 2015,
making their first debut as a couple
at the Vanity Fair Oscars After Party in 2016.
It wasn't long before they became musical collaborators
as well as romantic partners with Gwen recording a duet
for Blake's album, "If I'm Honest,"
and performing together on stage.
Just how did this California girl
end up matched with an Oklahoma country boy?
Join us as we explore the timelines
of Gwen and Blake's music, careers, personal achievements,
and the ups-and-downs leading to their blossoming romance.
Gwen Renee Stefani is a California girl through and through.
She was born on October third, 1969
in Fullerton, California.
She had a Catholic upbringing in nearby Anaheim.
In 1987, Gwen graduated from high school
and began attending Fullerton College
before transferring to California State University.
Around this time, she began performing vocals
for her oldest brother, Eric's band,
an up-and-coming act brimming with potential, No Doubt.
It was obvious from the jump
that No Doubt had the it factor.
In 1991, the band was personally signed
to Interscope Records by Jimmy Lovine.
The band released its self-titled debut album in 1992,
but its ska-pop sound was unsuccessful
due to the popularity of grunge.
No Doubt's third album released in 1995,
"Tragic Kingdom" was considered the band's defining album,
which gained them widespread popularity.
Five singles were released from "Tragic Kingdom",
including the breakout hit, "Don't Speak."
"Don't Speak" was a landmark success
leading to the Hot 100 Airplay Year-End Chart of 1997.
Stefani left college for one semester
to tour for "Tragic Kingdom,"
but did not return when touring lasted two-and-a-half years.
The album was nominated for a Grammy,
and sold more than 16 million copies worldwide by 2004.
I think for No Doubt,
this is kinda like the in-between stage
with the state of our record, trying to be creative,
and not really thinking about all that stuff.
This is kind of, since this in LA,
it's a little bit of a distraction,
like "Let's go, let's go, 'cause it's right here."
But really, we're trying to work,
trying to make a new record,
and just feeling lucky to be able to do it.
Most of the lyrical content
focused on Gwen's often rocky relationship
with then Bush front man, Gavin Rossdale,
and her insecurities, including indecision on settling down,
and having a child.
- How are you guys? - Good, good to see ya.
Are you guys really engaged?
- We really are. - You are really?
He really wants to marry me.
Oh, congratulations, I'm so excited for you,
have you guys set a date? Yep.
We're just, we're right around the corner.
- Are you- - Any minute now, Any minute-
- Any minute? - It's gonna be officiaL.
Yeah, we're gonna be late,
if we don't go now, we're gonna be fucking late.
Where did the two of you meet?
We met here in LA at the Acoustic Christmas
that KROQ does every year, and I was the opening act,
15 minutes, we got to play, and he was the headliner.
Are you kidding, or are you guys kidding?
We met backstage under fluorescent lights,
and never stopped looking at each other since.
No Doubt's 2001 album, "Rock Steady,"
explored more reggae and dance hall sounds
while maintaining the band's new wave influences.
- Okay. - "Rock Steady" .
Watch out, December 18th, the record is coming out,
no doubt, can you believe it? Very cool.
In one year, we did it, we wrote it, we recorded it,
and it's actually gonna come out, it's like a miracle,
- It's a miracle. - Is that really,
how long does it usually take one?
It's taken, you know, up to three years to do a record,
last record, took about two years,
so we're at like one year.
It's gonna come out December 18th, and I think,
I don't know when the single's coming out,
probably some time in October,
but we're going over to England to mix the record,
and it's just really exciting
because doing the whole thing with Eve
has been like a real tease for me,
because it's been fun, you know,
to watch and see it on TV and stuff,
but when it's like our record coming out,
I can't explain it.
When I found out it was coming out, my heart dropped.
I was so excited, and nervous,
and I can't wait to share with people.
You still get that?
I'm really nervous right now,
because I'm talking about it finally.
It's just like, it's a big deal for us, you know,
and this record for us has been so much fun,
and it's a really lighthearted easy record,
it's called "Rock Steady."
We worked with amazing people,
we worked with Dr. Dre, we're working with William Orbit,
Nellee Hooper, we worked in Jamaica
for a couple of weeks recording,
so it's just been like a lot of fun.
I just can't wait for people to hear it.
- The album generated career- highest
singles chart positions in the United States,
and "Hey Baby" And "Underneath It All"
received Grammy awards.
in 2002, Gwen won a Grammy award
alongside rapper Eve for Best Rap Song Collaboration
for their song, "Let Me Blow Your Mind."
Gwen Stefani's debut solo album, "Love. Angel. Music. Baby."
was released on November 12th, 2004.
The album features several collaborations
with producers, and other artists.
Gwen created the album to modernize the music
to which she listened when in high school,
and "Love. Angel. Music. Baby."
takes influence from a variety of music styles
of the 1980s and early 1990s,
such as new wave, synth pop, and electro.
Gwen's decision to use her solo career
as an opportunity to delve further into pop music,
instead of trying to convince the world of her talent,
depth and artistic worth was considered unusual.
The album debuted on the US Billboard 200 Albums Chart
at number seven, selling 309,000 copies in its first week.
The album reached multi-platinum status
in the United States, the United Kingdom,
Australia, and Canada.
Gwen's album is now six times platinum
worldwide, and still counting.
Wow.
I'm not sure I think I'm more excited than she is.
I'm excited, I can't believe it.
I need to talk to our team, but okay .
Okay, no pressure.
- No pressure. - We're missing Jimmy.
- Yes, Jimmy get in here. - thank you guys for coming,
they're starting to leave.
The first single from the album
was "What You Waiting For?"
which debuted a top the ARIA Singles Chart,
charted at number 47 on the US Billboard Hot 100,
reaching the top 10 on most other charts.
The song serves to explain why Gwen produced a solo album
and discuss her fears in leaving No Doubt
for a solo career, as well as her desire to have a baby.
"Rich Girl" was released as the album's second single,
I duet with rapper Eve, and produced by Dr. Dre.
It is an adaptation of a 1990s pop song by British musicians
and reached the US and UK top 10.
The album's third single, "Hollaback Girl",
became Gwen Stefani's first US,
and second Australian number one single.
It reached top 10 elsewhere.
The song was the first US music download
to sell more than 1 million copies,
and it's brass driven composition
has upheld its popularity to this day.
Gwen Stefani's second solo album, "This Sweet Escape,"
was released on December first, 2006.
The album focuses more heavily on electronic
and dance music for clubs than its predecessor.
The act between having a baby,
and now launching your second solo album.
Well, what so far so good,
because he just gets to go with me everywhere,
and he's such a cool guy,
and he just is so chilled out,
and enjoy like when it's just me and him,
he's like what's going on, because he's so used
to having so many people around, you know,
and he's used to noise and we've been taking him everywhere.
So it just hasn't really been that challenging.
I mean the sleep thing is definitely hard
when you don't get to sleep, and I'm like a sleepaholic,
like I love sleeping. Oh, me too, me too,
I could sleep for days on end frankly.
I'm like I'd be so happy on the tour
when they're like, "Oh, 12 hour drive, yay!"
- You know? - Straight to bed.
Exactly.
Its released coincided with the DVD release
of Stephanie's first tour, entitled "Harajuku Lovers Live."
"Wind It Up," the album's lead single used yodeling
and an interpretation of "The Sound of Music,"
and peaked in the top 10 in the US and the UK.
Obviously people are gonna start talking about it,
because of the sample that it uses.
Which is so crazy,
'cause you guys have some kind of a show over here
for "The Sound of Music," right.
That's right, opening in London, so.
Which is weird timing because this,
I wrote this record about a year-and-a-half ago
with Pharrell, I went down to Miami just like by chance,
and we did like five songs together,
and this was one of them, and I ended up doing a mashup.
My whole like fantasy was to do like put "Sound of Music"
to a beat, you know?
\Cause I love "The Sound of Music," and I just was like,
that would be wicked, you know,
You took the song with the yodel in it of course.
- Yeah. - Can you yodel very well?
I think, you know what I sorta can.
It's weird, I'm not like the most,
like singing is sort of like part of what I do,
it's not really, I'm not like a singer or whatever,
but I like I can Yodel a little bit, I don't know why.
the single track, "The Sweet Escape,"
was another popular hit,
and earned her a Grammy Award nomination
for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals.
To promote the album, Gwen embarked on a worldwide tour,
the Sweet Escape Tour, which covered North America, Europe,
Asia, and the Pacific and part of Latin America.
With Gwen promoting "The Sweet Escape,"
No Doubt began work on a new album without her,
and a plan to complete it after her tour was finished.
In March, 2008,
the band started making posts
concerning the progression of the album
on their official fan forum.
Going back in the studio with No Doubt,
we'd been in the studio all year,
trying to write a new record,
and we have a lot of songs, and it's been,
I think, it's my favorite time being in the studio,
it's just about like really enjoying the moment,
and I can't wait for it to come out,
but I'm still kind of enjoying the process.
We still have a lot of work to do on the record,
but so next year, hopefully,
we'll have a new record, and that's the future,
just No Doubt right now.
Gwen made a post on March 28th, 2008,
stating that songwriting had commenced,
but was slow on her end,
because she was pregnant with her second child.
No Doubt headlined the Bamboozle 2009 Festival in May, 2009,
along with Fall Out Boy,
the band completed a national tour in mid-2009.
Come on, ooh, ooh!
Ooh, ooh!
Well, it's real exciting,
because we kind of did it on a whim.
We were basically in the studio, trying to write new music,
and I had just had my baby, and I was like,
"Ah, let's get out of this room, let's go on tour,
let's get motivated, and inspired!"
And I think just getting out there,
and being on stage together is what we kind of do best,
and putting the whole tour together
has been really motivating and inspiring,
so it feels incredible to answer the question,
actually it feels really, really good.
the new album, "Push and Shove,"
was released on September 25th,
proceeded by the first single, "Settle Down" on July 16th.
"Settle Down" peaked at 34 on the Billboard Hot 100
with the album peaking at number three
on the US Billboard 200.
Come on!
Similarly to Gwyn,
Blake's early career skyrocketed him to the height of fame.
Born in 1976 to parents, Dorothy and Richard,
Blake Shelton lived a quiet and simple childhood
in Ada, Oklahoma, something he would reflect upon
in his music throughout his career.
Blake was surrounded by the guitar riffs and emotive lyrics
of country music, which heavily influenced his musical taste
from an early age.
By 17, Blake had graduated from high school in Oklahoma,
and two weeks after leaving, took a leap of faith,
and moved to Nashville, Tennessee, to pursue a music career.
It wasn't long before Blake's gamble move
to Nashville paid off as his honest voice
captured the attention of record labels.
In 2001, Blake released his first ever single
titled "Austin."
The song is a classic story of love,
heartbreak, and regret.
"Austin" was a massive success,
becoming his first number one hit
on the Billboard Hot Country Singles,
and instantly boosted his self-titled first album,
which featured the popular song, "All Over Me."
The album received positive reviews,
and people were excited to see
what Blake would release next.
Two years later in February, 2003,
Blake released his second album, "The Dreamer."
The lead single for the album was "The Baby,"
a soulful track that showed Blake
in a more reflective state.
It reached number one on the country charts,
holding that position for three weeks.
"Blake Shelton's 'Barn and Grill"
was the title of his third studio album released in 2004.
It's lead off single, "When Somebody Knows You That Well"
peaked at number 37 on the country charts
while the follow-up track "Some Beach"
became his third number one hit,
holding the position for four weeks.
Blake released his fourth studio album,
titled "Pure BS" in 2007.
"Pure BS" was a massive success,
becoming his highest chart-topping album so far,
reaching number eight on the US Billboard 200 chart,
and number two on the billboard top country albums.
"Startin' Fires" was Blake Shelton's fifth studio album,
released in 2009.
This album kept the Blake Shelton sound alive
with soulful country songs as well as fun, upbeat,
and fast-paced anthems.
The album's lead single, titled "She Wouldn't Be Gone,"
showed an aching Blake lamenting
on past failed relationships.
By 2011, Blake was touring around the country,
and had even collaborated with Michael Buble.
It was safe to say that Blake Shelton
had become a household name in the US.
Blake Shelton released the album "Red River Blue"
on July 12th, 2011, led by the single, "Honey Bee."
The song received 138,000 downloads in its first week,
and was certified gold in its seventh week,
setting a record for the fastest gold certification
by a male country singer.
On June 13th, 2011, in its 10th chart week,
"Honey Bee" went to number one
on the Hot Country Songs chart,
becoming his ninth number one, and his fastest climbing.
The album was expected to debut at number one
on the Billboard 200 with around 110,000 copies sold.
"God Gave Me You," a cover of a Dave Barnes song,
was the album's second single,
it also reached number one.
"Drink on it," the fifth song on the album,
hit number one in April, 2012,
giving him his 11th number one song.
In April, 2011,
Blake became a coach on the first series of the US "Voice,"
alongside CeeLo Green, Christina Aguilera, and Adam Levine.
Success didn't stop there for him.
At the 54th Grammys, Blake was nominated for two awards,
one for Best Country Album for "Red River Blue,"
and one for Best Country Solo Performance
for the song, "Honey Bee."
This is a big deal, you know I've been doing this for,
man, I don't, since 2001,
I think I've made eight albums,
and I've never been nominated for Grammys,
and stuff like that, so I'm proud of it.
I'm pumped about tonight.
So after eight years of making music,
does it mean more to have it finally recognized
here tonight?
I don't know, man, you look back at that things, and you,
I don't think I'll know what the most important thing
that happened for me career-wise along the way was
until this is all over, but I'd definitely want a Grammy,
and I'd like to have one,
freaking Taylor already beat me on two of 'em tonight,
so I have one chance left, so I got my fingers crossed,
let's see what happens.
Unfortunately, Blake didn't win the Grammy
for either category,
however it was clear to see that his music
was getting the attention of fans and critics alike.
On April third, 2012, Blake performed "Over"
on the semifinals of the second season of "The Voice."
"Over" became Blake's seventh consecutive number one,
and his 12th number one hit to date.
After a while, focusing on "The Voice,"
and his married life, Blake went back into the studio
to record his next studio album,
titled "Based on a True Story."
The album debuted at number three on the Billboard 200,
and became the ninth best-selling album of 2013.
Blake didn't take long for follow up the success
of this album and went straight back into the studio
to release his ninth studio album,
titled "Bringing Back The Sunshine."
The lead single, "Neon Light," was upbeat,
displaying Blake's stage presence and production value
that he now had during his live shows.
In 2005, a year after his third studio album,
Blake Shelton's love life hit the news.
Blake and his first wife, Kaynette Gern,
were getting divorced after a three-year marriage.
Not long after the divorce was finalized in 2006,
Blake started dating the up-and-coming country superstar,
Miranda Lambert.
Their relationship quickly hit the headlines,
and they became a popular country music couple.
On May ninth, 2010 after dating for four years,
Blake proposed after seeking
and receiving her father's blessing.
The pair were married on May 14th, 2011
at the Don Strange Ranch ranch
in the bride's home state of Texas.
After the wedding, Blake took a break
from his work commitments
to spend the rest of the month with his new bride.
While Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton made their home
in rural Oklahoma,
Blake's work commitments meant he wasn't at home very much.
Not only was he a judge on the wildly popular show,
"The Voice," but he also went on tour
promoting his own music.
Miranda also had obligations as a successful musician
in her own right.
However, the couple insisted in interviews
that they always made time for each other.
However, cracks began to show
when Miranda reportedly felt abandoned by Blake
having fixed commitments in Los Angeles,
filming for "The Voice,"
the pressures of fame and distance took a real toll
on their marriage.
By the time 2015 rolled around,
Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton's marriage
was on its last legs.
By the middle of the year,
they were officially on the rocks,
and Blake proceeded to file divorce papers,
Blake and Miranda's split came as a surprise
to most in country music.
The two seemed to be an incredibly stable relationship.
They seemed to always have a ton of fun together.
You always saw them up on stage,
either collaborating or thanking one another
for being their support system.
So it really came as a bit of a surprise.
There had been rumors in the past
that the two might have had some infidelities,
but they always seem to work through it.
When the two split,
it seemed to be a very tough time
for Shelton and for Lambert.
"We were real people with real lives
with real families, friends and colleagues."
The couple said in a statement obtained by E News.
"Therefore we kindly asked for privacy and compassion
concerning this very personal matter."
However that didn't mean there wasn't any acrimony
as they both accused the other of infidelity,
although nothing was remotely proved.
When Blake Shelton was going through his divorce
from Miranda Lambert, he was utterly heartbroken.
He found a friend in Gwen Stefani,
who was also going through her own highly publicized divorce
from husband, Gavin Rossdale, after several years.
Gwen Stefani met Gavin Rossdale, lead singer of Bush,
backstage in 1995 when No Doubt performed a concert
for a radio station while Bush were the main headliners,
they married on September 14th, 2002
with a wedding in St. Paul's, London.
A second wedding was held in Los Angeles two weeks later,
the pair went on to have three children together,
and enjoyed over 10 years of married life
before things took a turn for the worst.
in August, 2015,
Gwen Stefani filed for divorce from her husband,
Gavin Rossdale
Gwen has described the breakdown of her marriage
as eight months of hell
as Gavin Rossdale was unfaithful to her.
She tortured herself trying to figure out the secret
he was keeping from her,
an affair happening in their family home.
Known as one of the most glamorous couples
in the music industry, fans of the pair
thought that they were going to last forever,
appearing so in love in their younger years,
Yeah, sometimes, but you know it's working out,
it's working out good.
And so she'll just be watching tonight, or?
She's here, she's inside, she'll be watching.
I don't have, there's no tricks, but you know,
we, our love is alive, what can I say?
It just happens, it just happens.
Is it nice having your wife,
who broke out in music,
and now you're breaking into the film business,
the two of you doing it together?
Yeah, absolutely, you know it's good to have her here
for support, we try and be here for each other when we can,
and sometimes, it's difficult with schedules,
and all that stuff, and so we'll set our dates together
as we should.
However, just over a year
after the birth of their third child,
the marriage began to fall apart.
They released a joint statement, which read,
"While the two of us have come to the mutual decision
that we will no longer be partners in marriage.
We've remained partners in parenthood,
and are committed to jointly raising our three sons
in a happy and healthy environment.
It was later revealed that Gavin Rossdale
had been accused of having an affair
with their nanny, Mindy Mann.
US Weekly reported that the affair had gone on
for three years and claimed Gwen had found out
about the relationship after discovering texts
between the pair and images of them together.
Reportedly, Gavin Rossdale initially dismissed the texts
as just flirtation, but then confessed to the affair
several months later, leading to their divorce.
Gwen Stefani remained hurt for a long time afterwards,
even admitting that she has the date, February ninth, 2015,
ingrained in her mind as the date she first discovered
her world was falling apart.
Despite finding it hard at first,
the former couple now shared joint custody
of their three sons, Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo.
Gavin Rossdale has gone on to say in recent years
that he is embarrassed by how their marriage ended,
and never wanted it to end in divorce.
On April 29th, 2014,
Gwen Stefani announced she would be joining "The Voice"
as a judge alongside Blake Shelton, Adam Levine,
and Pharrell Williams.
This would be where Gwen and Blake would meet,
and form a great friendship,
understanding the struggles one another were going through.
An image was shared for the first public live taping
of the series.
The first photo of Gwen and Blake together in any capacity.
On September 18th, 2014, Gwen and Blake appeared
on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon"
to promote the new season of "The Voice."
The pair also sang a duet of "Endless Love,"
and their chemistry became very apparent
through the performance.
Alongside her television commitments,
Gwen told MTV News during New York Fashion Week
that she was working on both a No Doubt album,
and a solo album.
Billboard announced that her third studio album
was set to be released in December.
On October 17th, 2015,
Gwen Stefani performed a concert
as part of her MasterCard Priceless Surprises tour series
at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City,
where she performed a new song about her breakup
with ex-husband, Gavin Rossdale, titled "Used To Love You."
It was released as a download on October 20th, 2015,
the video was released the same day.
The song was released to contemporary hit radio
in the United States on October 27th, 2015,
the track is her first official single
off her third solo album,
"This Is What The Truth Feels Like."
The album's second single, "Make Me Like You,"
was released on February 12th, 2016.
"This Is What The Truth Feels Like"
was released on March 18th, 2016,
and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200
with 84,000 album equivalent units
sold in its first week,
earning Gwen her first number one album on the US chart
as a solo artist.
To further promote the album,
Gwen embarked on her This Is What The Truth Feels Like Tour
with rapper Eve in the United States.
Similarly to Gwen, Blake went back into the studio,
alongside his commitments on "The Voice,"
and released his 10th studio album,
titled "If I'm Honest."
The album once again reached the top
of the Country Billboard charts,
and reached third on the US Billboard 200.
"Every Time I Hear That Song" was the lead single
with its fresh pop sound.
The video also felt very similar in style
to his first single, "Austin."
"If I'm Honest" was a hit,
and at the CBS People's Choice Awards won two awards,
one for Favorite Country Album,
and one for Favorite Country Singer.
I love it, I love it.
I do not take this for granted at all, you know?
Anytime the fans are the ones
that are making the decision out there,
that's really where at the end of the day
where the rubber meets the road,
because we can have, you know, all the industry inside of,
you know, awards, and committees, and things like that,
but when people that are actually buying the albums
and the tickets, you know,
take time out of their day to pick up their phone,
or their laptop, whatever they use to vote on,
and they do that for you, it means a lot,
because I know that's, I mean, it's a pain in the ass too
to do that, you know, and they did it,
and I can't believe it, and I couldn't be more thankful
that they did that.
And where are you keeping these bad boys?
I got to get to, I was telling someone earlier,
I got a little home interior shelf, I think,
that my mother passed down to me from a garage sale,
she must've got it from somewhere,
but I don't think it'll hold, these things are heavy,
like this is like, you could burn a bug with these
if you had the sunlight just right.
So I don't know, I'd have to, I'm gonna have to build on,
I guess, from my People's Choice Awards.
By 2017, Blake had released 10 studio albums,
and had been on "The Voice" for six years straight,
not only developing a close relationship with Gwen Stefani,
but also a good friendship with his other costar,
Adam Levine.
If you would've told me then
that this guy was gonna end up being one of my best friends,
I would have called you crazy, but that's, what is this?
Seven years later, six years later, or whatever it is,
Adam and I have been on an incredible journey together,
and we have both seen some ups and downs,
and obviously I've seen, you know,
a lot of ups and downs,
and I've never had a more honest and loyal friend
than Adam Levine through my personal journey knowing him,
and so, you know, I know this getting a star
on the Walk of Fame is a big deal,
and we all know he's a huge star with music,
and movies, and television,
but I'm happy to see him get this because he's my friend,
and nobody is more
shocked, I mean, proud
than I am that he's gonna have a star
on the Hollywood Walk of Fame forever.
Congratulations, brother, I love you
Thank you, brother, I love you.
Later that year, Blake, once again,
went back into the studio to work on his next album,
titled "Texoma Shore."
The album was another commercial success,
reaching number one on the Top Country Albums chart,
and number four on the US Billboard 200.
The lead single, titled "I'll Name The Dogs,"
was a much more country sounding song
compared to previous singles,
with the video showing Blake playing live
at a traditional country wedding
while people dance to his music.
Blake Shelton also owns a franchise of restaurants,
and entertainment complexes called Ole Red.
The first Ole Red opened in his hometown
of Tishomingo, Oklahoma in September, 2017.
A Nashville location opened in May, 2018.
A third location in Gatlinburg opened in March, 2019.
A fourth location in Orlando, Florida opened in May, 2020.
That's my dream, that's my vision
of somebody coming in here one day from,
you know, wherever and stopping in, and get a drink,
and I happen to be sitting here,
you know, playing my guitar, singing some music.
For me, it's as simple as this is my home, you know,
to come here and have a good time,
maybe hear some music, and, you know,
have a burger, and a drink or something.
In November, 2015,
representatives for Blake Shelton
confirm the romance between himself and Gwen Stefani,
And they eventually both spoke about their relationship
saying they grew closer after supporting each other
through their divorces.
It seems like the two found each other
in the perfect time, began to lean on each other,
and become closer friends.
From there, it turned into a blossoming relationship.
The two seem very serious,
they spend a lot of time together on Blake's farm,
Blake has spent a lot of time with Gwen's children,
and it seems like they are working towards building a family
of their own.
There's a lot of love between them,
and I think a lot of people like to see them together
because obviously they associate, you know,
Blake has a very good boy image for the most part,
and I think that the audience can really see how happy
Gwen is next to him.
So maybe deep down inside of the audience,
you know, wants to believe that this is the one for Gwen,
and you know, she's really not one to be known
for being in many relationships.
She was in a relationship with Gavin Rossdale for 13 years,
that's a very long relationship,
at least in terms of Hollywood standards, you know?
A lot of these are celebrity couples, you know,
are dating one day and then the next day they're, you know,
dating someone else, and she also has children, you know?
So I think she is looking for someone to settle with.
There have been reports that Gwen's kids really like Blake,
so I think it's a good thing,
and fingers crossed it'll be something
that'll last a long time.
In February, 2016,
the pair made their first public debut on the red carpet
at the Vanity Fair 2016 Oscars After Party.
Shortly after this in May Gwen and Blake performed a duet,
"Go Ahead and Break My Heart" at the Billboard Awards.
The song was recorded for Blake's album, "If I'm Honest."
Their costar and close friend, Adam Levine,
opened up about their relationship,
and claimed the couple were so in love.
In June, 2018, Gwen began her Las Vegas residency,
titled "Just a Girl Las Vegas,"
and Blake was by her side to support her.
The show was named after a No Doubt song,
"Just a Girl" and proceeds from the show were donated
to the organization, Cure4Kids.
On December 13th, 2019,
Gwen featured on Blake's single, "Nobody But You,"
from his compilation album,
"Fully Loaded, God's Country."
The song peaked at number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100,
and 49 on the Canadian Hot 100.
On July 24th, 2020,
Gwen and Blake released another single,
titled "Happy Anywhere,"
inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the following years,
the pair gushed over each other publicly in interviews
and performances.
When finally after five years together,
Blake Shelton proposed in October, 2020.
There have been constant debates in the media
about who will perform at their wedding,
with stars, such as Miley Cyrus and Adam Levine
throwing their names into the mix.
On December fourth, 2020,
Gwen Stefani revealed she had plans to release a new single
called "Let Me Reintroduce Myself"
after a series of cryptic posts
on her social media accounts.
This song was released on December seventh, 2020,
climbing to first on the iTunes Chart.
The song's music video premiered on January first, 2021.
She also teased a new song called "Slow Clap"
through her Instagram, which was released March 11th, 2021,
alongside a remix of the song
featuring upcoming rapper, Saweetie.
On March 30th, 2021,
it was announced that Gwen's upcoming fifth studio album
will be called "Let Me Reintroduce Myself."
Also in March, 2021, Blake announced "Body Language,"
his first brand new full length studio album
in over four years.
The album will include the singles, "Happy Anywhere,"
and "Minimum Wage."
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton tied the knot at last,
after five years of being engaged,
it happened in July, 2021.
It was a surprise, pretty much secret nuptials.
The people only found out about it,
'cause they filed for the marriage certificate
48 hours, by law, you have to do that,
before the actual ceremony took place
and it happened on Shelton's ranch in Oklahoma.
He had a church basically built
as the venue specifically for it.
It was a very, very intimate ceremony, just their family.
One of Gwen's three boys read from the Bible.
Carson Daly was the officiator of the whole ceremony,
he read the vows and actually was the one
that said you are husband and wife,
which is really cute since he's the host of "The Voice."
Gwen had already had a six to nine carat solitaire ring
that she'd been rocking for the last couple years
that Blake had given her.
Now, she's gonna have a band to go along with it,
and be Mrs. Shelton, so that'll be fabulous to see.
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton
have taken the media by storm
with fans gushing over their love story.
While their romance initially seems
to have taken everyone by surprise,
the duo took a chance on love, and it paid off.
The world can not wait to watch them build a life together
over the coming years.
