Gwen Stefani fulfills fantasy with beau Blake Shelton during performance in Las Vegas
Gwen Stefani could not be happier with her boyfriend Blake Shelton and she is very grateful for their relationship. She recently performed at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino’s Zappos Theater in Las Vegas, Nevada and during her concert, she could not help but express her love for Blake and how he and their relationship has changed her life forever.
During one part of the show, Gwen came out on stage dressed in Western gear- a custom fringe getup with white custom-made cowgirl boots from Moschino by Jeremy Scott and gave a shoutout to the love of her life who was cheering her on from the VIP section. "You don’t know what it's like to be able to wear a cowgirl costume right in front of Blake Shelton. This is like my fantasy come true. Thanks for sharing it with me," the 'No Doubt' singer shared.
In a pre-taped video, she said, "When I was a little girl, I had this plan that I was going to be a mom and have a bunch of kids and be a wife and have that perfect family. That's something I dreamed of for a long time. But my own love life experience wasn't what I thought it would be," Gwen added. Gwen shares three children, Kingston, Zumba, and Apollo with her ex-husband Gavin Rossdale.
"I feel I had so much love to give inside me, but I was unlucky in love, which has been a blessing because I've been able to write about that and share that and have this friendly, blessed musical career. But there was a point in my life where I felt like I was losing everything. I mean, there's unlucky in love, but then there's unlucky in love and I lost my ability to have any confidence -- not just about songwriting, but about everything. My hopes and my dreams. I was actually losing myself," she continued.
Gwen went on to add that music has always saved her in her bad times until of course, Blake came along. "I look back at all the times that my heart was broken and it was always music that healed me. I realized I had to find [that] again and recognize my gift again and find my confidence and get back and I needed to express all the pain and the anger and the betrayal that I was feeling. I had to remind myself that there is a light and a purpose and I just needed to find the truth and follow it".
Blake also had a bouquet of flowers delivered to Gwen's room along with an adorable note which read, "You worked so hard on this show. Congrats on opening night. I love you!!!" Recently, Blake revealed that he is very happy with his life right now, be it with his partner Gwen or the opening of his new restaurant and bar, Ole Red Nashville.
People quotes Blake admitting:"I wouldn’t change one thing about my life right now. I’m happy. Sometimes happiness can seem like fleeting moments, but this one has been staying in the same lane for a long time. It’s just amazing. I would just like to ride this wave till I die. The personal side of my life has been chaotic at times over the last few years, but it’s kinda settled down now and just feels good."
Blake is the first one to admit that he and the 'Hollaback Girl' singer are an interesting couple and he says that somehow they just "make sense". "When we first started seeing each other, friends of mine would be like, ‘What the hell is that all about? But if you ever had a chance to be around us together, it does make sense. People do like us together," Blake went on to add.
The couple spends a lot of their time in Los Angeles and also spend time with Gwen's sons and often visit Blake's waterfront home in Oklahoma. "My family, Gwen and her family, we all get together and go out and float around. The kids swim and tube and all that stuff. We have a blast," he shared.
Blake and Gwen definitely love and appreciate all the support that they are getting from fans all over the world but have laughed off the wedding rumors. "Don’t you read the tabloids? Gwen and I already have a few kids. We’ve been married and divorced and married again a couple of times. We were married before we ever even met each other!" he joked.
The couple has been going strong after nearly three years of flirting and romance. However, falling in love with each other is not something that either of them had counted on. Blake appeared on NBC's Sunday TODAY with Willie Geist where he opened up about the singer. "When I was going through my divorce, and just, hit rock bottom just like anybody does when they go through something that devastating, it's a miracle that I met somebody that was going through the same exact thing that I was at the exact same moment in time."
"Now here we are, going on three years later, and every day that goes by it just feels like a stronger bond between the two of us and it constantly feels like it's going to the next level. That's the only way I think either one of us could describe it if she was sitting right here," Blake continued. "Gwen saved my life. Who else on earth could understand going through a high-profile divorce from another musician? You can't even imagine the similarities in our divorces".
