John Legend On Whether Blake Shelton Would Ever Return to The Voice
Speaking with ET recently, seasoned veteran coach John Legend addressed the question of Blake Shelton ever coming back to The Voice. Shelton exited the show following season 23. His wife, Gwen Stefani, left after season 22, then came back for season 24, only to leave once again to refocus on her music. As for Shelton, it doesn’t look like he’s going to be making a return any time soon.
“I feel like Gwen is the only chance we have,” Legend said. “I don’t think Blake is coming back. He is staying on the farm, he’s enjoying himself. I’ve talked to him and he’s, like, picking corn. He sent us some fresh corn from the farm, he sent us some fresh peaches from the farm, we made peach cobbler. I don’t think he has any desire to come back to Hollywood and film The Voice.”
It seems like Blake Shelton has made a peaceful life for himself with his family and his farm, making occasional music with his wife, and just enjoying being Blake Shelton. Legend did reveal that he keeps in touch with Shelton and Stefani, and that he and his wife, Chrissy Teagan, have group chats with them.
“We have different group chats for each combo of coaches and then Chrissy, Gwen, and Blake and I have a group chat where we’re just couples talking,” he said. “We usually stay in touch with each other and we’re friends — it’s just a good vibe with all the other coaches.”
