Gwen Stefani has never heard of Blake Shelton before The Voice

Gwen Stefani (49) has been with Blake Shelton (43) for four years, whom she met as a co-coach with the American version of The Voice. In an interview with Andy Cohen on SiriusXM Radio, the singer announced that before that she ‘had no idea who Blake was’.

“I didn’t know that he existed or that he was walking around on this planet at all. It’s bizarre, not normal. I have accepted that he is a terrible hillbilly and I think it is great that we are so different,” Gwen said.

The couple has just started a new season of The Voice and therefore competes against each other as a coach for the win. “Blake is like a unicorn. Wherever he appears, people immediately adore him, he is so talented. Blake is really magical.”

In the beginning of their relationship, which came into existence shortly after Gwen’s marriage to Gavin Rossdale, the No Doubt singer said she was “bloody nervous to sing for him.”

“We had written a song right after our meeting. At the time we might have done a few fun things, but it was still a bit vague. I think I sweated through my clothes when I tried to sing while he played the guitar . It was super exciting. “+
