Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani's Relationship Timeline — We're Rooting for Them

They are both singers, but seemingly from opposite worlds. Gwen Stefani is a former '90s pop-rock star made famous for her washboard abs and funky style. Blake Shelton is a country star who loves his truck and living in, well, the country. And yet, Gwen and Blake are basically the cutest couple since Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes.

So when did the No Doubt singer meet her eventual husband? When did they get engaged, and married? And what is their relationship status today? The full details are ahead.

Gwen and Blake both have divorces behind them. She was of course formerly wed to Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale, and they share three kids together. Their marriage ended in 2015.

Meanwhile, Blake was married twice before meeting Gwen — he said "I do" to Kaynette Williams in 2003, and divorced her in 2006. Then, the "God's Country" crooner was betrothed to Miranda Lambert from 2011–2015.

It turns out that their mutual heartache actually bonded Gwen and Blake. Although they were both with other people when Gwen joined The Voice in 2014, those relationships were on the rocks.

“Gwen saved my life," Blake confessed previously. "Who else on earth could understand going through a high-profile divorce from another musician? You can’t even imagine the similarities in our divorce.”

With their respective divorces settled, the singers were free to date publicly — although Gwen admitted that she never expected to find love again after her marriage to Gavin ended.

“God just put us together. It was one of those miracle situations where I didn’t see it coming,” she told Drew Barrymore. “I was like, ‘I’m gonna wake up every day, I’m gonna have a coffee, I’m gonna take care of my kids, and then I’m gonna go to bed.’ Like I’m never gonna kiss anyone. I thought my life was over and then Blake Shelton’s like, ‘Hey. I’m Blake Shelton.’”

A few years into their romance, the couple was already making music with one another, including her hit "You Make It Feel Like Christmas" and the catchy ditty "Nobody But You."

The stars also treated fans to "Happy Anywhere."

After years of dating and seeming beyond in love and happy, the couple announced they were planning to make things official.

Taking to Instagram, Gwen simply said "yes please" as a caption to a photo of the stars kissing, and added a diamond ring emoji.

For his part, Blake posted the same photo to his Instagram along with the sweet message, "Hey @gwenstefani thanks for saving my 2020... And the rest of my life.. I love you. I heard a YES!"

On July 4, 2021, the singers put a ring on it during a wedding ceremony in Oklahoma.

Talking about the nuptials on Today, Gwen admitted she was "bawling" during the couple's vows.

As for Blake, he took their vows to the next level. "Gwen and I decided we were going to write our own vows for the wedding, but I decided to surprise her by writing a song instead," he shared. Um, perfect guy much?

Although Gwen seemingly said "goodbye" to The Voice for good — Blake left in 2023 — the spouses will always share fond memories of the place where they first crossed paths.

Today, the former city girl lives in Oklahoma with her husband and her kids.

But a source told Life & Style, in early 2024, "Gwen and Blake’s marriage is definitely in trouble. Lately, they’ve been at odds about everything from career decisions and the parenting of her three boys to where they spend most of their time. The tension continues to grow, and Blake and Gwen are drifting apart as a result.”

The source continued, "Gwen and Blake are leading separate lives. It’s very sad, but the writing seems to be on the wall for their marriage.”

For its April 2024 issue, Nylon talked to its cover star Gwen about everything from No Doubt's Coachella reunion to her relationship with Blake. She revealed that when she wrote their 2024 duet "Purple Irises," she'd been having insecurities about her marriage.

"I had been going through those times where you’re questioning: 'Oh my gosh, am I just getting older? Am I cute?'" she told the magazine. "In my own relationship, even though I know the truth of what’s happening today, you still create drama in your own mind about your insecurities and what might happen. I was in that phase of the relationship with Blake and getting paranoid."

Blake chimed in as well, saying: "It's an insecurity we both have. These are conversations that she and I have with each other: 'Are you still going to love me when I’m old or if I forget who I am?'"

But as Gwen noted, "The truth is I am in love with my best friend, and all this s--t I’m thinking of in my brain, that’s all it is — I’m overthinking." She added that "when you’re in love and have truly aligned values, nobody can get to us. You can say whatever you want to say about our relationship — I mean, a week ago [the tabloids said] we were getting divorced again or something. It’s just lies. The truth is the truth, and we know what that is. And so that [negativity] would never penetrate just by me being vulnerable and sharing a song that I didn’t write for anybody else but myself and Blake."
