Some might say Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are a match made in music heaven. The pair met in 2014 on the set of The Voice, where they were both judges. Six years later, Stefani and Shelton announced their engagement before marrying the next year at the country star’s ranch in Oklahoma.
Since tying the knot, the couple has delighted fans with several collaborations together, including “Happy Anywhere,” “Nobody But You,” and their cover of the 1980s Judds classic “Love Is Alive.”
