Blake Shelton will be featured on Sunday Today this weekend where he makes what you might consider to be a shocking confession about his relationship with Gwen Stefani.
Blake and Gwen met as coaches on the hit reality singing competition The Voice. Neither really knew the other one very well until they discovered in the summer of 2015 they were both dealing with the same life situation, divorce.
The country music superstar and the pop superstar began leaning on each other for support as they both could relate to the other. Blake didn’t feel like either one of them were looking for a relationship out of the friendship. In fact, (in the interview clip at the top of the page) he admits that he believed the two both had the exact opposite idea of what the two would become.
“I think if Gwen and I were being honest right now, talking about this,” Blake confesses, “I think in the back of our minds we both kind of thought, this is a rebound deal because we’re both coming out of a pretty low spot in our lives and we’re kind of clinging to each other to get through this.”
You can call it karma, fate or perhaps the guidance of God, but whatever you call it the mysterious way things sometimes work out had other plans for the two.
“When I was going through my divorce, I hit rock bottom just like anybody does when they go through something that devastating,” he shares. “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.”
That relationship just kept growing until the two finally revealed that they were dating and it has continued to grow since then.
“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,” Blake lovingly admits. “It constantly feels like it’s going to the next level. That’s the only way I think either one of us could probably describe it.”
