As Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani approach a major relationship milestone, the country star is opening up about their love story and what keeps it strong nearly a decade in. In a heartfelt interview with People, Shelton shared insight into his marriage with Stefani, whom he first met on the set of The Voice ten years ago.
The couple, who famously went from colleagues to partners in both music and life, continue to celebrate their bond with gratitude and excitement. “I feel like that might be the key to happiness, is that it feels just as exciting and new and happy,” Shelton said. “It still feels new for me.”

Shelton and Stefani recently collaborated on a new track featured on Shelton’s latest album, For Recreational Use Only. Their professional and personal chemistry has been a recurring theme throughout their relationship — a bond that fans have admired since their early appearances together on the NBC talent show.
Their relationship began as a friendship during the 2014 season of The Voice, where both served as judges. At the time, Shelton was married to fellow country artist Miranda Lambert, while Stefani was with rocker Gavin Rossdale. In 2015, both Shelton and Stefani announced their respective divorces. Soon after, their friendship deepened into romance, and by October 2020, they were engaged.
The couple tied the knot in July 2021 in an intimate ceremony, and Shelton has since embraced his role as a stepfather to Stefani’s three sons from her previous relationship: Kingston, 18; Zuma, 16; and Apollo, 11. Shelton has spoken often about how becoming a husband and stepdad has changed him for the better, and this latest interview shows the continued strength of their family unit.

Despite the demands of their careers, Shelton and Stefani appear to be thriving, balancing music, parenting, and marriage with a sense of joy and purpose. Their recent musical collaboration is just one sign that their partnership remains both loving and creatively fruitful.
As they look ahead to their 10th anniversary of meeting, Shelton’s words serve as a reminder that lasting love, even in the spotlight, can still feel fresh. For fans who have followed their journey since the early Voice days, it’s clear that Shelton and Stefani’s relationship is built on more than fame — it’s rooted in genuine affection, shared values, and, as Shelton puts it, “excitement and happiness.”
