Gwen Stefani claims she 'never even knew' husband Blake Shelton 'existed' before meeting him on 'The Voice'

Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton's love story is one for the ages.

The couple first met in 2014 when they were both coaches on the singing competition show 'The Voice'. At the time, Stefani was going through a divorce from her husband of 13 years, Gavin Rossdale. Shelton was also recently divorced from his wife of four years, Miranda Lambert.

Despite their initial hesitations, Stefani and Shelton eventually started dating in 2015. They got engaged in 2020 and married in July 2021.

In a recent interview, Stefani revealed that she never heard of Shelton before meeting him on 'The Voice'.

"I had no idea who he was," she said. "I had never seen him on TV or anything."

Stefani said that she was immediately drawn to Shelton's sense of humor and his kind heart.

"He's just a really good guy," she said.

Shelton has said that he was also immediately smitten with Stefani.

"She's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen," he said. "And she's got the biggest heart of anyone I know."

Shelton said that he knew he wanted to marry Stefani from the moment he met her.

"I just knew," he said. "I knew she was the one."

Stefani and Shelton are now happily married and have a blended family of seven children.

"I had never heard of Blake Shelton before meeting him on 'The Voice'."

This statement by Stefani is somewhat surprising, given that Shelton is a well-known country music star.

However, it is possible that Stefani was not familiar with country music before meeting Shelton. She has said that she grew up listening to pop and rock music, and that she only started listening to country music after she met Shelton.

It is also possible that Stefani was simply not aware of Shelton's fame before meeting him.

Shelton is a successful country music singer and songwriter, but he is not as well-known as some other country music stars, such as Garth Brooks or Tim McGraw.

Whatever the reason, it is clear that Stefani and Shelton were meant to be together. They are now happily married and have a beautiful family.
