“I would probably have picked Blake, because I just feel like he’s so good at the show.”
They dated for five years before the “No Body” singer finally proposed in Oct. 2020. On July 3, 2021, they tied the knot in a small ceremony officiated by host, Carson Daly.
Shelton and Stefani returned to their coaching chairs this season, battling for contestants for the first time since getting married. Stefani says it feels “surreal,” to be husband and wife on the same set that brought them together years ago.
Even though sparks are always flying between the lovebirds, they aren’t holding back their competitive sides this season.
They recently found themselves , Jay Allen. Both coaches turned their chairs for his impressive blind audition of Cody Johnson’s multi-week No.1 hit, “‘Til You Can’t.”
They each tried to convince Allen to join their respective teams with convincing statements.
“I knew you were going to do that, you’re killing me,” Shelton shouted at Stefani before Allen said, “The husband and wife duo turned around.
“The delivery of that lyric is such a conversational song in order to stay on pitch and get through the lyrics and then hit those powerful moments man that’s tough and you sounded great doing it,” Shelton said. ”I love your tone, I love your approach. I didn’t expect to turn around and see a UFC fighter singing it, but that’s even cooler man.”
It was then time for Stefani to sell Allen on Team Gwen.
“Blake, he’s taught me so much about country music, and I got to be on two No. 1 country hits with Blake Shelton, which was just the most incredible experience of my life,” Gwen shared. “It made me so joyful to recognize that song when it came in, and to hear your voice on it, it was so beautiful and the chorus I thought it sounded really good. It was a really good performance and I would love to coach you.
After a bit more conversation between Allen and the judges, he ultimately chose Team Gwen.
NBC’s Season 22 premiered on Monday, Sept. 19 and airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8/7c pm.
