Gwen Stefani received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Her husband, Blake Shelton, her three sons, and her family gathered on Thursday to celebrate the Grammy-winning singer from No Doubt and “The Voice” coach.
Her star was unveiled on the sidewalk in front of the recognizable Amoeba Music store during the ceremony held at the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Several well-known music industry figures praised her incredible career as an artist prior to Shelton taking the stage to honor his wife. He said that her talent was something she was born with. It’s important to remember that Shelton got his star on Hollywood Boulevard in May.
“Not as much as me, though,” he joked, showing how much he loved Gwen and how she has consistently achieved the highest level of success with her unique style that has captured the attention of the world.
Blake Shelton’s speech left Gwen Stefani in tears.
Gwen Stefani’s husband, with whom she has been married for two years, showed his appreciation for her accomplishments at the event, citing them as both personal and professional. He even went so far as to refer to her as “the greatest songwriter in history.” Gwen got emotional as he was talking and occasionally wiped away tears.
Looking back on their first meeting in 2014, Blake Shelton said he could tell right away that Gwen’s primary focus was being a mother. Considering that it has been almost ten years since they first met, he said with confidence that being a mother is still the most important thing in her life.
“I would like to emphasize that this is an unusual situation in the entertainment industry,” he continued. Shelton, ever the comedian, joked that it’s a joy to see her receiving recognition for her side project, which just so happens to be becoming one of the biggest names in the world.
