Blake Shelton Makes Gwen Stefani Cry With Emotional Walk Of Fame Speech (VIDEO)
Break out the tissues. Blake Shelton makes Gwen Stefani cry with emotional Walk of Fame speech. This was just so sweet and emotional. Gwen was married to Bush’s Gavin Rossdale until 2016. She announced her relationship with Blake Shelton, in November 2015. The couple announced their engagement on October 27, 2020, and married at a chapel on July 3, 2021, at Shelton’s Oklahoma ranch. At first, most people thought they seemed like such a mismatch. Gwen is this punk rocker chick and Blake is a huge country star. She’s from Los Angeles, he’s from Oklahoma. She has 3 boys, and he has no kids. But clearly, they have a lot of the same core values and seem to really click. She always said how she never experienced a love like the one she did when she met Blake. I’m such a hopeful romantic. I want this. Not to mention they have made some incredible songs together. “Nobody But You” went to #1 on the country charts and “You Make Me Feel Like Christmas” is already such a classic. I definitely listen to it in July. Gwen’s son King performed at Blake’s bar in Nashville a few months ago. It was his first live performance. It makes sense he would want to get into the industry, his mom, dad, and stepdad are all music legends from three different genres. Can’t wait until we hear his new music.
It’s kinda crazy she hasn’t gotten her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame before this. She’s been famous for so long, it seems like a no-brainer. Blake obviously is so proud of her, and he seems like such a good dad to her 3 boys. Gwen has said in the past how she never thought having fun on a farm in Oklahoma would be something in her life, but it’s the best time she ever had.
9 Of The Sweetest Country Music Couples
Country music has a long history of couples making music together. Back in the 1970s, George Jones and Tammy Wynette’s marriage and then divorce was a source of fascination. Especially as the couple continued to perform duets together after their divorce. You can watch their turbulent relationship play out on Showtime’s George & Tammy, which stars Jessica Chastain and Michael Shannon in the title roles.
Then in the late 1990s, country fans could not get enough of the Tim McGraw and Faith Hill love story that started when Faith opened shows for McGraw on his 1996 “Spontaneous Combustion Tour.” The couple went on to make beautiful music together through the years. In 2021, they played husband and wife James and Margaret Dutton in the Paramount Plus mini-series 1883.
Nowadays, we look to country music couple Kane Brown and his wife Katelyn, who scored a number one with the sensational song and video “Thank God.” That video won the top prize at the 2023 CMT Awards for Video of the Year. In a moment the couple shared on stage when they accepted the honor, Katelyn gushed, “This is all so new to me, and when we recorded this song a year ago, I never in my life would ever think that this was going to happen.”
The Browns chart-topper also made history, becoming the first husband and wife to top the country music charts since Tim and Faith did so in 1997 with “It’s Your Love.”
Today (8/18) is National Couples Day. It’s a day for couples to commemorate their journey together. It’s a great day to remember to spend time together and cherish and celebrate the bond that the couple shares.
