Blake Shelton clarifies the hidden factors that make his relationship with Gwen Stefani flourish
Revised Article:
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton's enduring love story takes center stage as they approach their ten-year anniversary. In a candid chat with People, the country crooner spills the beans about the secret sauce keeping their marriage fresh and exciting.
The power couple, who first crossed paths on the set of The Voice nearly a decade ago, attribute their long-lasting bond to the feeling of ongoing novelty in their relationship.
As Shelton gears up for the release of his latest album, For Recreational Use Only*, he shares that the relationship with Stefani "still feels new for me." He believes that this sense of familiarity and adventure might just be the secret ingredient for marital bliss, stating, "I feel like that might be the key to happiness, is that it feels just as exciting and new and happy" [1].
For the uninitiated, their journey began as a friendship while serving as judges on The Voice in 2014. Both were wed to other partners at the time – Stefani to Gavin Rossdale and Shelton to Miranda Lambert. However, the following year, both announced their divorces, paving the way for their nascent romance to unfurl [2].
Engaged in October 2020 and blessed with a marriage in July the following year, the duo now nurtures three children from Stefani's previous relationship – Kingston, 18, Zuma, 16, and Apollo, 11 [6].
The couple's shared sense of humor and knack for enjoying each other's company have played a substantial role in keeping their union lively. In a past interview, Shelton emphasized that finding joy in simple everyday activities like having coffee or watching a movie is vital for them [5]. This camaraderie serves as a testament to their ability to maintain the vibrancy of their marriage.
Stefani has also touched upon a mysterious "third" element in their relationship, which she discussed during her appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show. However, the specifics of this concept remain undisclosed in the context of their marital secret [3]. Nonetheless, their recent collaboration on Shelton's album, with a duet entitled "Hangin' On," underscores their harmony, both on and off the stage [4].
