The Secret to Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani's Lasting Love: It's All in the Music
Personal contentment through minimalist living: Essential items only - The individual's secret to contentment is straightforward:
After nine fiery years together, country star Blake Shelton (48) and pop queen Gwen Stefani (55) reveal what keeps the sparks flying. In a chat with U.S. mag "People," Shelton shares insights about their bopping love life and the latest tunes from his new album, "For Recreational Use Only."
This year marks a decade since these lovebirds became an item. "Man, time just slips right past," Shelton says. "Sometimes, we'll chat about old times, and it'll hit me – 'Geez, that was... what year was that again?' It still feels fresh and exciting, that's the key to staying happy, my friend."
Together they keep the melodies flowing. With his partner-in-crime, Shelton recorded a new duet for his latest record. Initially, they chose two songs, but only one made the cut. "Can't wait to release the other one later on!," he teases. The duet "Hangin' On" was quite a challenge, but they "thrive on pushing our pipes" to deliver pure magic.
Their home turned studio goes like this: "We walk around the crib singing these tunes all day and discuss 'em for months. By the time we're in the booth, we're ready to rock!"
As for song lyrics, they're as different as night and day. "Gwen is like a grammar nazi when it comes to lyrics. I've sung about kidnapping and no one ever batted an eye. But not her, no sir!" the 48-year-old quips.
Shelton's album is in the can, leaving room for some summer fun with his wife and her three boys, Kingston (18), Zuma (16), and Apollo (11) from her past marriage. "Can't wait for the academic year to end so we can get silly together," he admits. "We're both pretty swanky with our summer plans. Work here and there, but mainly chillin' and livin' la vida loca!"
