Just a few hours after NBC’s  unveiled its Season 23 coaches, Blake Shelton to fans that it would be his last season on the show. During a recent interview with , the country singer’s wife and fellow coach on , Gwen Stefani, shared her thoughts on her husband’s announcement. 

“I think that Blake–I don’t know, I think he just wants more time, you know what I mean? I don’t know that people realize, if he’s doing two seasons a year, right?” Stefani said. “In between that, he’s touring. So he actually has two teams at the same time at a certain point, so they overlap.

The couple currently split their time between their Los Angeles home and their Oklahoma ranch with her three sons Kingston, Zuma and Apollo. Stefani went on to explain that since Shelton is constantly moving around with his busy schedule, he doesn’t have much free time left to enjoy the peace of the ranch. In letting go of , he may get the chance to spend some more time at home. 

“So it’s a lot of brain power, it’s a lot of time away from the family, those kinds of things. 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.

Stefani continued, “And I’m totally speaking for you, Blake, sorry! I’m married to you so I can say whatever I want! But it’s just, I’m excited for him because, you know, we have lives outside of work, and it’s a really good life, it’s really fun, and we have so much fun! 

This decision also means that they will have more opportunities to be together outside of their overlapping work lives.
