Refreshing on Love's Key: Blake Shelton & Gwen Stefani's Success
A man's self-proclaimed recipe for contentment is straightforward. - His straightforward path to contentment: a concise summary
In an exclusive chat with U.S. publication "People," country star Blake Shelton (48) spilled the beans on the secret to his blissful romantic escapade with pop sensation Gwen Stefani (55). The duo discusses their daily lives, love, and more amidst the release of Blake's latest album, "For Recreational Use Only."
As they celebrate their tenth anniversary this year, the country standout expresses that time seemingly slips away. "It feels like yesterday!" he exclaims. "Reminiscing about old moments, it hits you: 'Oh my god, that was eight years ago!'" The couple's bond continues to enchant him, believing that their relationship's excitement and joy haven't dwindled since day one—the secret to their evergreen happiness.
Their shared enthusiasm plays a significant role in their lasting bond. The lovebirds collaborated on a duet for Blake's current album, marking the second time they've recorded together. However, only one song made the cut, with plans to save the other for future projects. "We got so hyped about both tracks that we saved one for later," he mentions. Unveiling their duet, "Hangin' On," the twosome shared how they thrive on challenging each other as singers.
Their musical collaboration isn't an everyday affair, as they're "neck-deep in song ideas" at home. "We're constantly singing these tunes around the house, engaging in conversation about them, and by the time we hit the studio, we're well-prepared," he says.
However, when it comes to text composition, they have contrasting approaches. "Gwen is incredibly specific about the lyrics. I don't have such demands," he laughs. "For her, the lyrics must resonate personally, but I've serenaded jail sentences without dissent!"
With the album wrapped up and the promotional spree nearing its end, the summer months await. Blake relishes the prospect of spending a laid-back season with Gwen and her sons, Kingston (18), Zuma (16), and Apollo (11), from her first marriage to Gavin Rossdale (59). "No school, no work—just good vibes!" he looks forward to. "We're free to enjoy ourselves, have a little fun here and there, and catch our breaths."
