Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani initially crossed paths in 2014 while Blake was a coach on The Voice. They later were married over the Fourth of July holiday in 2021. Here is a timeline of how they met.
When season 7 of The Voice began filming in April 2014, the couple got acquainted while mentoring candidates on the show.
Both were still married to their former partners at the time. Shelton was married to Miranda Lambert, a fellow country singer, while Stefani was wed to rocker Gavin Rossdale.
On November 25, 2014, while they were both on The Voice set, Stefani shared their first photo with the simple message, “he @blakeshelton @nbcthevoice gx.”
When they each experienced their heartbreaks in the summer of 2015, the coworkers quickly became confidants. Shelton and Lambert got divorced in July, and Stefani and Rossdale broke up in August.
Stefani claimed to have “gone white” when Shelton told the Voice team in July 2015 that he had broken up with Lambert, as she disclosed to Howard Stern in July 2016.
“I felt like he was exposing me, so I was shocked. When Shelton first revealed the information, Stefani said, “I just couldn’t even put my brain around it. “I didn’t want anyone to be aware of what was happening to me… Nobody knew except for my parents and certainly, everyone involved that I was carrying this enormous weight.
After that, Stefani began to talk to Shelton about her divorce. “At that point, he approached my chair… He has never appeared so upset to me. I was then like, “I have to talk to you.”
“It’s unbelievable that God would put us in a position to have each other at that moment, in that exact moment,” Stefani continued. Additionally, she added that she “wasn’t trying to start a relationship,” and that it just so happened.
