Blake Tollison Shelton is an American country music singer born in 1976. He is well-known for judging The Voice, Nashville Stars, and Clash of the Choirs. Besides singing, Blake is the co-partner of Ole Red, a chain of entertainment complexes and restaurants. Reportedly, he dated and married three women: Kaynette Gern, Miranda Lambert, and Gwen Stefani.
Born in 1973, Kaynette Francis Gern was Blake’s high school sweetheart who came from a relatively wealthy family. She loved music during high school, which must have brought her closer to Blake. She became his road manager during the early days of his music career.
Born in 1983, Miranda Leigh Lambert is a member of an American country music group, Pistol Annies. Moreover, she is a country singer, guitarist, and songwriter with quite a long dating history. She appeared in Nashville Star Season 1 (2003), but Blake was not its judge at that time.
Gwen Renée Stefani is an actress, record producer, fashion designer, and singer-songwriter born in 1969. Moreover, she is Blake’s colleague from The Voice. She posted pictures of Blake with her three children (from her previous marriage), showing how they considered him a father figure when she married him.

On the other hand, Gwen ended her thirteen-year marriage after one month of Blake’s divorce.
Gwen And Blake’s Increasing Proximity
Gwen posted her first selfie with Blake on Instagram in November 2014. They were trauma-bonded because both were newly divorced celebrities. An insider confirmed the duo’s relationship in November 2015. In February 2016, they made a red carpet debut in which they did not leave each other’s side.
Further, they occasionally performed together. For instance, Gwen released a song in September 2017 featuring her beau. They romantically sang a co-written song together in December 2017 on The Voice and released its music video in November 2018.
In 2018, the couple was busy doing individual work and supporting each other. Blake watched her rehearsals and performances and claimed to be Gwen’s biggest fan. Meanwhile, she loved his gesture. He showed how much he was into Gwen by kissing her poster in March 2019.
Blake took Gwen and her three children from her previous marriage on an outing to watch the premiere of ‘Ugly Dolls,’ in April 2019. Blake and Gwen started judging The Voice Season 17 in September 2019 together.
Blake and Gwen’s Engagement
There were proposal rumors in May 2019 when Ellen DeGeneres gifted Blake a clock, which showed a countdown to the proposal. However, he later informed Ellen that things did not work like this for Gwen.
In November 2019, an insider informed People how Blake was committed to Gwen, though he wanted some time to heal after divorcing Miranda Lambert. They again sang a song together for Blake’s album in December 2019.
In July 2020, amid the pandemic, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani were quarantined at the former’s ranch in Oklahoma, and they released their song, ‘Happy Anywhere,’ the same month. They announced their engagement through a tweet in October 2020 and got married in the first week of July 2021.
Blake Shelton And Miranda Lambert
Miranda came into the limelight by competing in Nashville Star in 2003. She met The Voice coach in 2005 and started dating him in 2006. They made a red carpet debut that year. They had a palpable on-stage chemistry, though Blake was married to his first wife at that time.
So, Blake filed for divorce from Kaynette but never addressed Miranda as the cause. They formally announced their relationship in 2007, and Blake proposed to Miranda in May 2010, which led to a high-profile wedding in May 2011.
Miranda and Blake divorced in July 2015 when she started dating a married man, Evan Felker. He accused her of cheating through one of his songs, but they did not talk about it openly. In 2018, he called it ‘Karma’ through a tweet.
Blake Shelton And Kaynette Francis Gern
Kaynette Francis Gern was Blake’s long-time girlfriend who supported him through his ups and downs in the 2000s. Thus, Blake realized that she was the one and proposed to her. Unsurprisingly, she quickly said ‘Yes.’
Blake and Kaynette got married in November 2003 in Tennessee. Sadly, their marriage lasted only for three years, and they divorced in 2006 due to his alleged cheating with Miranda. According to Blake, it was a tough decision as he linked it to his brother’s tragic death.
Encouraged by the divorce, Blake wrote some songs and immediately started dating Miranda. On the other hand, Kaynette moved to Kansas and married Cody Joe Scheck, a steer roping record holder.
