When speaking with Entertainment Tonight prior to Monday’s episode of the singing show, The Voice, Stefani got emotional about her time with Blake Shelton on the show and how it is coming to an end. Stefani stated, “It’s just been a really amazing season, too short, It’s mine and Blake’s last season… I can’t even get the words out of my mouth ’cause it sucks.”
Stefani added that, “I never in my lifetime would’ve pictured me doing something like this, and it’s been one of the most fun things I’ve ever done. I love being a coach, I love watching the contestants grow, I love having an impact, it’s super inspiring for me. And then, on top of it, I meet my best friend here, that’s gonna be forever mine.”
The Voice has been a huge part of Stefani and Shelton’s relationship, with the pair meeting while filming the show back in 2014 during season 7 of the show and started dating in 2015. After having a relationship for five years, Stefani and Shelton got engaged in October of 2020 and got married in July of 2021. While Stefani will end her time on The Voice after the current season, Shelton will leave the show after season 23 and will be joined by The Voice veteran Kelly Clarkson, along with newcomers Niall Horan and Chance the Rapper.
