Country singer Blake Shelton issued a heartfelt message to wife Gwen Stefani on their fifth wedding anniversary.
Shelton and Stefani’s love story began in November 2015, soon after they first met and worked together on “The Voice.” In the years that followed, fans couldn’t get enough of the couple as they continued to collaborate on music and make several public appearances together.
After five strong years, Shelton finally proposed to the blonde beauty in 2020. The following July, the pair tied the knot at an intimate ceremony located at Shelton’s ranch in Oklahoma, which he had especially built for their wedding.
On their big day, Stefani’s three sons — Kingston, 20, Zuma, 17, and Apollo, 12 — whom she shares with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale — were in attendance.

Blake on Becoming a Stepfather to Gwen’s Kids
Since finding love with Stefani, Shelton has become a devoted stepfather to her sons.
During the 2022 Country Radio Seminar, per E!, he admitted: “I didn’t know what I was signing up for, but I was all about signing up for it,” adding: “And every day I’ve fallen in love with the boys as much as I do with Gwen.”
In December of that year, the “Happy Anywhere” hitmaker told PEOPLE: “They’ve taught me something about myself that I never knew. I’m more than just a country singer or a goofy guy. I’m someone they actually lean on, and that’s not a responsibility that I ever had and not something that I ever considered even being into.”
