Gwen Stefani has once again shown her deep affection for her husband, Blake Shelton, as she dedicated a heartfelt birthday tribute to him on his 48th birthday. The No Doubt singer, 54, took to Instagram to share a touching video compilation that highlighted some of their most cherished moments together. The video, set to their duet “Purple Irises,” featured clips of the couple enjoying their time on The Voice, performing on stage, and spending time in nature.
In her Instagram post, Stefani captioned the video with a loving message: “Happy bday to the greatest, @blakeshelton 🤍 u are my everything !!” The post quickly garnered attention from fans who flooded the comments section with birthday wishes and admiration for the couple’s relationship.
While Blake Shelton has not directly responded to Stefani’s post, he did share a humorous Instagram photo of himself riding a bicycle, thanking everyone for the birthday wishes. His caption read, “Thanks for the birthday wishes everybody. I’ve drank so much in Italy that Gwen wanted to be sure I made it back to the hotel safely… I’m still not there though…”
The couple’s love story began in November 2015, and they tied the knot in July 2021. Their relationship has been a source of inspiration for many, and Stefani has often expressed her admiration for Shelton. During Shelton’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in May 2023, Stefani described him as her “dream come true” and praised his authenticity and dedication to country music.
Stefani, who shares three sons—Kingston, 18, Zuma, 15, and Apollo, 10—with her ex-husband Gavin Rossdale, has also spoken about Shelton’s role as a stepfather. Shelton has expressed his commitment to being a good father figure to Stefani’s sons, drawing inspiration from his own stepfather.
In addition to the birthday tribute, Stefani also honored Shelton on Father’s Day with a sweet Instagram post. The video featured clips of Shelton holding a bouquet of flowers and wearing a pink bunny onesie, along with photos of the couple spending time with Stefani’s sons. She captioned the post, “A very happy Father’s Day to @blakeshelton we love u so much !!”
Fans noticed that Stefani did not mention her ex-husband Rossdale in her Father’s Day post, which led to mixed reactions in the comments. Some fans appreciated the tribute to Shelton, while others pointed out the absence of a mention for Rossdale.
Rossdale, on the other hand, celebrated Father’s Day with an Instagram post featuring photos of himself with his three sons and his daughter Daisy Lowe from a previous relationship. He expressed his gratitude for his children and reflected on the challenges of fatherhood.
Stefani and Rossdale’s relationship began in 1995, and they married in 2002. The couple announced their divorce in 2015 amid rumors of infidelity. Both Stefani and Rossdale have spoken about the difficulties of their divorce and its impact on their children.
Despite the challenges, Stefani found love again with Shelton. The couple met as coaches on The Voice, and their relationship blossomed as they supported each other through their respective divorces. They got engaged in 2020 and married the following year.
Stefani’s recent birthday tribute to Shelton is a testament to their enduring love and the strong bond they share. Fans continue to celebrate their relationship, admiring the couple’s ability to find happiness and support in each other.
