Blake Shelton Revealed the “Only Regret” He & Gwen Stefani Have About Their Marriage

“She’s my best friend; that’s the best way I know to say it,” Shelton said about Stefani.

Whether they’re turning chairs on The Voice or walking the red carpet, it’s no secret that Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani know how to have fun together.

Married since 2021, Shelton and Stefani have become one of the music industry’s sweetest pairings. While speaking to Access in April 2024, Shelton was asked the secret to his and Stefani’s relationship success.

“She’s my best friend; that’s the best way I know to say it, and it’s not something that we have to really think about — it’s just there,” Shelton said lovingly. “And we have fun with it — maybe that’s the key. We have so much fun together. Whether we’re having a cup of coffee in the morning, watching a movie, or performing in an arena somewhere.”

Shelton says there’s just one regret the couple has about their marriage: They wish they met sooner. “We literally just have so much fun together, and the only regret that we have is that we didn’t find each other until late in life, you know?” he said. “But [we] also know that we had to go through everything we went through to get us to there. But we’re just grateful, and we have fun.”

Ever since Shelton’s exit from The Voice in 2023, he’s had more time to spend with Stefani and their family on their Oklahoma ranch.

“I think he just got to a point where he just wants time in his ranch, like time to just do the other things that he loves to do. I’m excited for him because we have lives outside of work, and it’s a really good life,” Stefani told Extra. “We have Oklahoma, which is something I never knew I needed and wanted. We planted a garden, we do all kinds of fun stuff. So we’re looking forward to doing some of that family stuff together. It’s gonna be great.”

Since leaving The Voice, Shelton and Stefani have shared many updates from their ranch, where they enjoy any excuse for a date. From adorable fishing dates to seasonal pumpkin picking, Shelton and Stefani have created a beautiful life where the fun never ends.
