Love, Music, and Miles: Inside Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton's Journey
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton have been married since July 2021 and share a home on Blake's ranch in Oklahoma. They also co-parent Gwen's three sons from her previous marriage. Despite their busy schedules that often keep them apart, they frequently travel between their homes in Oklahoma and Los Angeles, California, covering over 1300 miles each way.
Their holiday traditions involve bouncing back and forth between their homes, celebrating Thanksgiving and other holidays in both locations. Gwen finds the beauty of Oklahoma particularly enchanting during this time of year. Their ability to travel between their homes has been a blessing for their relationship and co-parenting dynamic.
Gwen draws inspiration from her life with Blake for her music, including her Christmas album and yacht rock record. She credits Blake with giving her a second chance at life after her family fell apart. Their shared love for gardening and the discovery of purple irises on their property inspired her song "Purple Irises" about finding true love and the fear of losing it.
Despite not being familiar with country music before meeting Blake, Gwen enjoys collaborating with him on music and is open to doing more country duets in the future. She appreciates Blake's humility and talent, finding it attractive and inspiring. Their shared experiences and love for each other continue to influence Gwen's music and personal life.
