Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton’s Romance Is Better Than a Love Song! See Their Relationship Timeline

April 2014

Blake and Gwen first locked eyes when she signed up to be a coach on The Voice in April 2014. A few months later, Gwen shared this selfie with Blake to Instagram and captioned the post, “[heart] him.”

July 2015

Even though it may seem like love at first sight, Blake and Gwen were actually in other relationships when they first met each other. Gwen was married to her husband, Gavin, and Blake was wed to Miranda Lambert.

However, in July 2015, the “God Gave Me You” singer got a divorce from the country songstress after they spent four years of marriage.

August 2015

Soon after Blake and Miranda went their separate ways, Gwen and her husband — who married in 2002 — finalized their divorce in 2015.

At the time of their separation in August, they released a statement that read, “While the two of us have come to the mutual decision that we will no longer be partners in marriage, we remain partners in parenthood and are committed to jointly raising our three sons in a happy and healthy environment.”

October 2015

Once they were both single, Blake and Gwen started to flirt a lot more on the set of The Voice. “They are definitely flirty on the set and you can see they have fun together,” a source told E! News at the time.

“There is something going on between them and they have spent time together off set. They don’t want to label anything or define it, they just really like each other and happen to be going through similar things in their lives,” the insider continued. “Gwen has spent time at Blake’s house in the Hollywood Hills recently. They want it to stay under the radar and not make it a big public thing because who knows what will happen.”

November 2015

With all the sparks flying, it’s no surprise the two made their relationship official by November 2015. At the time, Blake’s rep confirmed they “very recently started dating,” Us Weekly reported.

February 2016

Blake and Gwen showed everyone just how much they love each other when they walked down the red carpet for the first time as a couple at the Vanity Fair 2016 Oscars afterparty. The “What You Waiting For?” singer stepped out in a lace red gown while her beau sported a black suit.

October 2017

Fans aren’t the only ones who love these two together! Fellow singer Adam Levine also thinks Blake and Gwen make a great couple. In 2017, he told Howard Stern his friends are “so in love it’s disgusting.”

“It’s so funny. They found each other at really interesting times in their lives. It’s really beautiful,” he continued. “Because it’s in the public eye, a lot of people want to have their own bulls–t opinions about it, but I’m, like, there. I see it every day. I have a pretty unique perspective on it, and it’s real, man.”

June 2019

When Entertainment Tonight asked the country music star if he would ever tie the knot with Gwen, he said, “Obviously, that’s gotta lead somewhere.”

“She’s never not been supportive or a cheerleader, just the most encouraging person I’ve ever had in my life, on any level,” he added in June 2019. “It’s unbelievable how supportive she is.”

August 2020

Gwen and Blake started a new chapter in their relationship when they moved into a new 13,000-square-foot property in August 2020. The couple purchased the lavish Los Angeles estate for $13.2 million in May, Variety reported.

Since moving into their abode at the end of summer, Gwen and Blake are “truly happy” to be living with her three boys in the prestigious Encino neighborhood.

“They are very happy to be settled at last in their family home,” a source told Us Weekly in early September. “Gwen has a glam closet any woman would love to have. And Blake’s closet isn’t so shabby either. It’s the new beginning Gwen needed.”

October 2020

Blake and Gwen are finally engaged! The couple announced the exciting news about their plans to get married on Instagram on October 27. Alongside a cute photo of Gwen holding up her new diamond ring while kissing her future hubby, the Aviator actress wrote, “Yes, please!”

Blake also uploaded the same pic with a super sweet caption. “Hey @gwenstefani, thanks for saving my 2020 … and the rest of my life,” he gushed. “I love you. I heard a YES!”

Congrats to the happy pair!

March 2021

On March 31, Blake teased his and Gwen’s tentative wedding plans during an appearance on Today. Though the “Nobody But You” singer didn’t reveal an exact date, he said they hope to marry in the new few months.

“I’m afraid if she and I wait until next November, then I’m right back into The Voice cycle again, and I really want to be able to have plenty of time before and after, so hopefully this summer,” he shared with host Hoda Kotb. “I think we’re right here at the point with COVID, it looks like it may be OK, but don’t know, so that’s tentatively the plan.”

When Hoda, who is also engaged to her fiancé, Joel Schiffman, asked which couple will most likely walk down the aisle first, Blake responded, “I’m gonna say we are,” adding, “We’re getting married before you guys.”

During his chat with Hoda, Blake also opened up about the performances they have lined up for the night. “It’s starting to sound like a Coachella lineup here all of a sudden,” he joked. “I got all these superstars saying they’re gonna do it. I hope so.”

While the lovebirds are crossing their fingers that their wedding will be the ceremony of their dreams, Blake noted they’re taking COVID-19 precautions very seriously. “I’d love to be able to take everybody up on their offer and have this amazing concert wedding, but you know how it is,” he explained. “We’re just waiting every day just like everybody else to see what our summer [is] gonna look like and then go from there.”

July 2021

After months of putting their wedding plans on pause amid the coronavirus pandemic, Gwen and Blake officially said “I do” on the crooner’s Oklahoma ranch on July 3, Us Weekly reported. The duo were joined by a small number of friends and family for the private ceremony in Blake’s backyard, including Gwen’s boys — Kingston, Zuma and Apollo.

November 2021

Instead of traditional wedding vows, Blake decided to write a song for Gwen. In a segment on Today, The Voice host Carson Daly revealed that there wasn’t a dry eye in the house when Blake sang it at the ceremony. Blake later decided that he was going to release the song titled “We Can Reach the Stars” on his Body Language Deluxe album.  

“Gwen has always … She is constantly on my ass about, I should be writing more songs,” he shared during an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers in October. “‘How come you don’t write more songs?’ And I have gotten lazy about it over the years. And so, I decided, ‘Well, you know, I’ll step up and come up with something,’ and so I did.”

On November 5, Blake shared the song with his fans, one month ahead of the extended album’s official release. The first verse tells the story of the couple’s first kiss. The lyrics are full of odes to their relationship that blossomed on The Voice. In an Instagram post, Blake shared that he is “really proud” of the song and “really honored” to be married to Gwen.
