Do opposites really attract? If Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are anything to go by, the answer is an emphatic “yes!”
These two musical legends come from very different worlds. He’s a country icon and she’s a pop princess. Despite these different backgrounds and mutual emotional baggage, the two ended up finding true love.
Honestly, their entire romance is crazier than any set of song lyrics. Don’t believe us? Keep reading to discover the truth about Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani’s relationship!
How Gwen met Blake
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton effectively met through work. Back in 2014, Stefani joined The Voice as one of the coaches. And one of her fellow coaches was none other than Blake Shelton.
Before taking the gig, Stefani didn’t really know much about Shelton. Years later, she admitted in an interview with Andy Cohen that “I didn’t even know he existed, like before the show,” she admitted. “I didn’t even know he was a human being on this planet, and I didn’t know much about country.”
In retrospect, it might seem like fate that these two lovebirds met on set. Everyone around them noticed that the two had amazing chemistry together. There was just one problem: both of them were already married!
Bonding over nasty divorces
When Stefani and Shelton met, they were each already married. Stefani was in a very long-term marriage with Gavin Rossdale and Shelton had been married for four years to fellow country star Miranda Lambert.
However, these marriages ended in short order after Stefani and Shelton met. Shelton and Lambert divorced in July 2015, and Stefani and Rossdale divorced in August 2015. Rumors flew that Shelton got divorced because he was having an affair with Stefani. Meanwhile, Stefani had an ironclad reason for divorcing Rossdale: he was having an affair with their nanny, Mindy Mann.
While there is likely no truth to those rumors about Stefani and Shelton having an affair, nobody could deny the chemistry they shared, both onscreen and off-the-stage. And once the two were both divorced, it paved the way for them to start pursuing their mutual affection toward one another.
