Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton, one of music’s most beloved power couples, have been married since 2021, and their bond keeps getting stronger. During an April 23 appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, Stefani, 55, shared the secret to their happy marriage: a “third party” they intentionally include.
“Best advice would probably be make sure you have a third party,” she said, pointing upward in a nod to God, reflecting their shared Christian faith. The comment, which sparked buzz on X, highlights how spirituality anchors their relationship, a cornerstone for the couple who met as The Voice coaches in 2014.

Stefani, the No Doubt frontwoman, and Shelton, 48, a country music star, began dating in 2015 after navigating high-profile divorces-hers from Gavin Rossdale, his from Miranda Lambert. “She’s my best friend; that’s the best way I know to say it,” Shelton told Access in 2024, emphasizing their effortless connection.
Their faith, often discussed openly, has been a guiding light. Stefani, a devout Catholic who partnered with the Hallow prayer app, and Shelton, who’s spoken about his spiritual roots, leaned into this during a March 2025 Easter church visit, despite some fan backlash over her app endorsement.

The couple’s life on Shelton’s 1,300-acre Oklahoma ranch, where they raise Stefani’s sons-Kingston, 18, Zuma, 16, and Apollo, 11-reflects their grounded approach. “I think the slower pace of life and nature has made me love Gwen even more,” a fan posted on X, echoing sentiment about their wholesome dynamic.
Stefani’s April 13 Instagram video showed Apollo helping pick flowers at their ranch’s chapel, a sweet glimpse of their blended family. “I think probably long strolls because I’m tired at night,” Stefani told Barrymore, laughing about preferring cozy date nights on separate couches over late-night chats.
Their professional synergy shines too. Shelton’s upcoming album, For Recreational Use Only, out May 9, 2025, features a duet, “Hangin’ On,” with Stefani. “I don’t feel like I want to make a record without a duet with Gwen anymore,” he told Today, calling her his favorite singing partner. Their March 13 surprise performance of “Nobody But You” in South Carolina thrilled fans, with one X user raving, “Crowd went wild!”
Despite occasional rumors, like those sparked by Stefani’s Bouquet Deluxe track “Still Gonna Love You,” their faith and fun keep them solid. From fishing dates to family Ozarks trips, Stefani and Shelton’s “third party” approach is clearly working.
