Introduction
The relationship between Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton has been a surprising and inspiring journey for fans. Meeting as coaches on The Voice in 2014, their bond grew from a professional friendship into one of the most talked-about romances in the music industry. They were both coming off public divorces—Blake from country singer Miranda Lambert and Gwen from Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale. Their romance blossomed, and they eventually tied the knot in 2021.
Beyond their shared love for music and each other, the couple has also collaborated on several duets, including their hit song, “Nobody But You.” This collaboration was particularly significant, as it led to a career-first for Gwen.
A Shocking First for Gwen Stefani
While Gwen is a pop and ska icon, she’d never had a country hit. That changed in 2020 when she and Blake released “Nobody But You.” The song shot to the top of the country music charts, a massive achievement that left Gwen in disbelief. During an appearance on The Late Show with Seth Meyers, she admitted the whole thing felt surreal.
“It’s inconceivable that we would even know each other and be friends, let alone do music together,” she said, expressing her shock at winning a CMT award for the song’s collaborative video. The success of “Nobody But You” wasn’t just a career milestone; it was a testament to the powerful connection she and Blake share, bridging their two very different musical worlds.
What’s Next for the Power Couple?
Blake recently stepped away from The Voice in 2023, but he’s not slowing down. He’s a producer for a new CBS talent competition called The Road, which will feature Keith Urban as the headliner. The show will follow Urban as he takes 12 up-and-coming musicians on tour, eliminating contestants along the way. Gretchen Wilson, a ’90s country star, will serve as the tour manager. The new show is expected to premiere this fall.
As for Gwen, fans are hoping she’ll make a return to The Voice. The couple recently had a pre-recorded performance at the American Music Awards, which left some fans disappointed. Despite their busy schedules, their relationship remains a source of inspiration, showcasing how love can bring two different people together in the most unexpected ways.
