Gwen Stefani bursts into floods of tears and is supported by Blake Shelton and her kids as she receives a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
Music legend Gwen Stefani burst into tears as she received her coveted star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The No Doubt alum, 54, became the latest star to be recognized by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, with some of music’s biggest names showing their support – including her husband Blake Shelton, 47.
Music executive Jimmy Iovine and country icon Reba McEntire were also in the audience, and Iovine even made some remarks on the hitmaker’s behalf.
Gwen looked stunning in a star-studded metallic mini dress as she struck poses of the brand new star.
She styled fishnet tights and shiny silver boots with her vibrant blonde locks slicked back into a high ponytail and her trademark red lips added a pop of colour.

Blake was among the big names singing her praises. As he walked out onto the podium, Gwen was standing next to him with a huge smile on her face.
Recalling their first meeting on The Voice in 2014, Blake said he remembers the singer not having any security detail – however, her sons acted as her bodyguards, according to KTLA.
“It was clear to me that she is a mother, first of all, more than anything else in the world.” “That was her number one job,” he said. “But today it’s nice to see her honored for her side project, which is one of the biggest stars in the world.”
Gwen became emotional listening to her husband sing her praises, according to KTLA.
When it was her turn to address the crowd, she said, “Never in my wildest dreams did I think this girl from Orange County would have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It just doesn’t make sense to me.’
Then she called out to Iovine, telling him: ‘Jimmy! What we do?’
Gwen then described the first time they met at a music showcase, where he predicted she would be a ‘star’ in six years.

“You said, ‘In six years you will be a star.’ And I said “six years, that’s just weird!” For example, “in six years I will be pregnant with my fifth child. I will not be doing music,” she said.
But then: ‘Six years on the dot Don’t Speak was number one around the world and he was right!’
Gwen also talked about her three sons, Kingston, 17, Zuma, 15, and Apollo, 9, who were present at the ceremony.
She called them her ‘biggest blessing’, saying: ‘I can’t believe I’m going to be your mum. I’m so proud of you guys.’

Not only has Gwen officially achieved star status, but today the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce named it Gwen Stefani Day.
“Gwen Stefani, Hollywood Walk of Famer, star on the boulevard.” Forever, perfectly together. Now tell me Gwen, wouldn’t that be sweet,” said Stephen Nissen, president and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce.
Stefani rose to fame as a member of the legendary ska-punk band No Doubt in the 1990s and remains a household name to this day.
After releasing hits such as Don’t Speak and Sunday Morning with the group, she eventually launched her solo career, with her debut solo album Love. Angel. Music. The baby was released in 2004.
Not only was she a force to be reckoned with in the music world, but she also made her mark in the fashion and beauty industry with her LAMB and GKSVE lines.
She has been a judge on The Voice since 2014, where she met her second husband, Blake Shelton.
They married in 2021, five years after she divorced her first husband Gavin Rossdale. She shares her three sons with Gavin.
