Unplugging with Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani: A Summer to Remember
His straightforward path to contentment: a straightforward revelation - His straightforward path to contentment involves:
In an exclusive chat with U.S. magazine "People," country crooner Blake Shelton (48) and pop powerhouse Gwen Stefani (55) share insights into the secret behind their decade-long happiness.
Sparking joy, even after nine years, Shelton labels their relationship as "something that still feels new and exciting." They've reached a point where shared memories send them back in time, prompting him to marvel, "8 years ago? Oh my god!" This fresh, exhilarating energy is, according to Shelton, the "key to our happiness."
The couple's shared passion extends to their collaborative music ventures. For his latest album, "For Recreational Use Only," they recorded two duets, with one making it to the album, the infectious "Hangin' On." The pair, who married in 2021, don't shy away from challenges, reveling in pushing their vocal limits to deliver their best.
Round-the-clock rehearsals fill their home, as they serenade each other with songs for months before stepping into the recording studio. While Shelton's lyrics often veer toward the blue, Stefani prefers to see herself reflected in the lyrics she sings, demonstrating her careful and selective approach to her artistry.
As summer breezes in, the Shelton-Stefani brood (which includes Kingston (18), Zuma (16), and Apollo (11) from Stefani's previous marriage) braces for a season of relaxation and rejuvenation. "We both have a few shows scattered about, but nothing that takes us away from a fun summer," Blake divulges. With no concrete plans in sight, it's their favorite plan, offering a chance to unwind and enjoy their cherished time together.
