After two years of marriage, Gwen Stefani is still in the honeymoon phase with husband Blake Shelton.
The Voice coach gushed about her country singer husband in a new cover story for People, saying that the love she’s experienced with Shelton is unlike any other she’s ever had.
“I didn’t see any of this coming with Blake. This was just a big old ‘What?’ It was an amazing gift to experience love like that for the first time,” Stefani recalled of falling in love with Shelton, whom she met in 2014 after her first appearance on The Voice. She sweetly added, “He’s changed my life … when I [started dating] Blake, that’s when I felt home, like, ‘Oh, this is where I’m supposed to be, with this guy.’”
The country singer has also changed up the type of environments Stefani likes to spend her time in. The No Doubt star — who currently resides in Shelton’s native Oklahoma, along with her three boys Kingston, Apollo and Zuma — has grown to appreciate nature now. “I am not really a dirt person, a bug person, I don’t like that much humidity,” Stefani explained. “But it’s so beautiful [in Oklahoma], and you kind of feel like you’re going into this vortex. Nature — and God — is all right there.”
Stefani is coaching for The Voice this season following her husband’s departure after 23 seasons. While it was initially bittersweet seeing him go, especially due to the role the show has played in their relationship, she is now taking the responsibility in stride.
“I was really weirded out like, ‘What’s it going to be like without Blake?’ But we are having so much fun,” she said. “At the end of the day, coaching these humans who are so gifted … I love it.”
