Blake Shelton quitting The Voice to spend more quality time with wife Gwen Stefani and his stepsons

Following his Oct. 11 announcement that he’s quitting The Voice after season 23, Blake Shelton is looking forward to spending more quality time with his third wife, Gwen Stefani, and their three sons.

If I walk away from my career at this time, the only thing I risk is feeling the regret of missing out on some of the most important things in life. “This is not about me anymore and it will never be again,” the 46-year-old country singer said in his book. the people Cover Story – Newsstands Friday.

You made a lot of money, but you can’t buy back the time. This is what I want to invest in right now. For now, these are our children. Although I am a stepmother, I take this job very seriously. And the kids see me as nothing but this very important person in their lives. “Why isn’t Blake here?” I take these things very seriously.

“Even though I’m a stepmother, I take this job very seriously,” the 46-year-old country singer told People in his cover story. And the kids see me as nothing but this very important person in their lives. “Why isn’t Blake here?” I take these things very seriously.”

Every child has something different to teach. I think they taught me something about myself. I’m more than just a country singer and an idiot. I’m someone they really count on, and that’s not a responsibility you have at all and it’s not something I thought I would be. It’s just a different self-worth. Perhaps it is the opposite of self-esteem.

Blake continued, “Every kid has something different to teach them. I think they taught me something about myself. I’m more than just a country singer and a goofy guy. I’m someone they really count on and that’s not a responsibility I have at all and it’s not something I ever thought I’d be.”

“The relationship that we have is so natural and natural. That just seems like the easiest thing I’ve ever been a part of in my life, and I forget every single day that she’s ‘Gwen Stefani,’ you know?” Shelton gushed.

It wasn’t until moments like yesterday when I walked out of the dressing room. I literally almost passed out when I saw her. It’s like, Oh my God, it’s those reminders that she’s this icon. Or if I bring her on stage with me to sing or go to one of her shows… To me, she’s my best friend and everything I need and lean on.

‘I think our biggest bond, as far as we do together besides music, has to be gardening,’ Shelton admitted. We’re going to the top. I mean, if there was an embarrassing brag it would be how much we probably spend on seeds.”

“I think our biggest bond, as far as we do together besides music, has to be gardening,” said Blake.

We’re going much higher. I mean, if there was an embarrassing brag, it would be how much we probably spend on seeds. Like, boxes of seeds come home that we get from Amazon or some of these gardening centers. It’s like, “I wonder if we could grow an Icelandic lily here?”

Shelton added, “We get away from it all and we’re just going back there. You don’t have to be anybody when we get back to Oklahoma. You’re just going to be family when you go there…and that’s where I feel comfortable and happy and safe.”
