“Love will find you when you least expect it.”
Outline
That’s how the saying goes. And Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton’s love story is here to show it. Before they met, they had both been in long-term relationships that ended badly. Their shared interest in music is what brought them together. Because they were in love with each other, they both had to get over the hurt they had been through in the past and start a new life together.
All of Gwen Stefani’s past relationships ended in painful ways.
Gwen Stefani’s first serious relationship was with Tony Kanal, who was in the band No Doubt.
I was in love and obsessed with Tony Kanal, and he knows that,
the singer recalled in a later interview.
Kanal and Stefani were together for seven years before Stefani broke up with him in 1994. But over the next few years, they continued to work together creatively. They even put out music that was influenced by the end of their relationship.
She was married to Gavin Rossdale for more than ten years before they split up the next year, in 2015.
Gavin Rossdale, who was the lead singer of the band Bush, met Stefani soon after she broke up. Even though Stefani was 26, she was still living with her parents at the time, and Rossdale was only her second boyfriend. Before they got married in 2002, they dated for a few years. During that time, they were blessed with three sons. The two people fell in love with each other quickly.
The singer didn’t do much better in this relationship, either. She was married to Rossdale for more than a decade before she found out that he had been cheating on her.
I feel like I always wondered, ’Why did I get so unlucky in love? I have so much love in me,
she shared in an interview.
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton first met when they were both judges on “The Voice.”
Gwen Stefani met country music star Blake Shelton for the first time in 2014. At the time, she was going through the end of her marriage. They were both judges on The Voice, and in the months that followed, when they were both getting divorced, they got closer. The fact that they both loved music and had tried and failed to date in the past brought them together right away, and in 2015, they started dating.
They hit it off right away because they both liked music, but both of them had been in relationships where one person cheated on the other.
Even though the two singers hit it off right away, they still had to work through their own feelings of insecurity and lack of trust.
She didn’t tell me much, because we didn’t know each other at the time, but she said, ’I’m going through something very similar to what you’re going through. I understand. And I hate it,’
Shelton recalled how his relationship started with Stefani. He talked about how he met Stefani and what he remembered about that time. Both Stefani and Shelton stayed true to each other. They helped each other get over past heartbreaks and put out a number of duets over the course of their music careers.
Both of them were able to get better, and as a result, they fell in love and joined their families.
So I think in a romantic way, when you fall in love so hard and so unexpectedly — and so late in your life — you think, ’I want to marry you!’ That’s the first romantic reaction, like, ’Let’s get married.’
During their conversation, Stefani and her future husband talked a lot about getting married. However, they also had to think about Stefani’s children. Shelton asked Stefani to marry him after they had been going out for five years. Shelton quickly showed that he would be a great stepfather, which was a relief.
The two lovers got married in a beautiful ceremony at a ranch that was decorated with a country theme for the wedding.
“All I wanted my whole life was to have babies and be married, like what my parents have.”
My dreams were shattered,
Gwen Stefani said about her divorce from Rossdale.
All I wanted my whole life was to have babies and be married, like what my parents have.
But not long after that, when she was 46 years old, she met Blake Shelton. This shows that even a broken heart can lead to finding true love. And Stefani’s dreams, which she once thought were hopelessly lost, have once again come true.
When did you first meet the person you are now with? Do you think it’s harder to find love in your forties?
