Gwen Stefanicouldn’t hold back the tears when she married husbandBlake Sheltonin 2021.
“I never thought I was going to be getting married. That’s just insane that that happened,” she told the outlet. “I do my vows and I’m like literally bawling, I didn’t have a makeup artist I did my own makeup and completely all the makeup came off and so then [Blake] goes, ‘I know that you’re always on me about not writing songs…’ So all of a sudden, guitar out of nowhere, he plays me this song he writes me. I’m bawling."

“I am not really a dirt person, a bug person, I don’t like that much humidity,” jokes Stefani. “But it’s so beautiful [in Oklahoma], and you kind of feel like you’re going into this vortex. Nature — and God — is all right there.”
Stefani recently praised her husband when he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in May, as she told the crowdhe was her “dream come true.”
“He’s humble, he’s genuine, and trust me, wherever we go, everybody feels like they knowBlake Shelton,” she said. “Blake, you are a rare human being and for all the success that you’ve had in your life as a singer, a songwriter, a musician, a performer and entertainer, an actor, a comedian, an entrepreneur, he’s the same guy today as he was back then. A country guy with a love for country music. He’s magnetic, the most generous person you’ll ever know and always just him. No matter where he goes, making people happy, laugh, making jokes.”
As Stefani wrapped her speech, Shelton proudly said “That’s my wife” and they shared a hug and a kiss.
The “God’s Country” singer later praised Stefani in his own speech, saying thatmarrying her was the greatest thing he ever did.
“I kind of stopped checking things off my list of great accomplishments in my life when I married Gwen, so this is just icing on the cake,” he said.
