They’ve been together for seven years and married one year, but Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are still in the “nervous phase.”
In fact, the country singer admitted in a new interview that his wife is “still in” [his] phone, literally, as ‘My girlfriend.’”
Trying to explain herself, Shelton told Hoda Kotb on the ‘Today’ show Monday, “I think when you’re our age — and we’ve been together for seven years — it still seems pretty new to me. The nervous phase is still there.”
However, it turns out that the “Happy Anywhere” employees can handle each other’s quirks just fine.
Shelton, 46, joked elsewhere in the interview that Stefani, 52, is a huge fan of the 80s-inspired harder he rocked in his latest music video, “No Body.”
“For Gwen, that’s an exotic, weird thing. … She was never around people who had harder,” he explained. “It’s cool for her, and she probably wishes I had one [in real life].”
Shelton and Stefani said “I do” at an intimate ceremony in Oklahoma in July 2021.
The “Hollaback Girl” singer wore a Vera Wang dress on their big day, completing the look with her signature red lipstick and white platform boots.
The couple got engaged in October 2020 when the crooner proposed to “God’s Country” wearing a beautiful solitaire diamond ring.
Shelton and Stefani started dating in late 2015 after meeting as coaches on “The Voice.”
The Grand Ole Opry member was previously married to Miranda Lambert, from whom he filed for divorce in July 2015. The No Doubt frontwoman, meanwhile, filed a petition in August to end her 13-year marriage to Gavin Rossdale, the father of her three sons. .
Stefani celebrated their first wedding anniversary this summer by giving fans a glimpse into their fairytale marriage.
“1 year on, forever to go,” she captioned a video montage on Instagram, tagging her husband, who commented, “I love you! Thank you for saying yes!”
The sweet clip was set to the tune of Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love” and highlighted moments like their first kiss and first dance as bride and groom.
