Gwen Stefani shared how wonderful her life is with her children and Blake Shelton.
The Hollaback Girl singer, who turns 54 next week, marveled at the decidedly un-Hollywood life she leads on the ranch she shares with her husband, 47.
And the Just A Girl singer is amazed at how normal her life is these days.
“I didn’t see any of this coming with Blake. This was just a big old one. What? It was an amazing gift to experience love like that for the first time,” she said of meeting and falling in love with the God’s Country singer.
The couple met on the set of The Voice in 2014 and married in 2021 at their ranch in Oklahoma.
“He changed my life… when I started dating Blake, I felt at home, like, ‘Oh, this is where I’m supposed to be, with this man.’
And Blake stepped up to become a devoted stepdad to Stefani’s three sons, Kingston, 17, Zuma, 15, and Apollo, nine, who she shares with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale, 57.

The Don’t Speak singer, who hails from Southern California, also talked about how different life is in Oklahoma compared to Los Angeles.
‘I’m not really a dirt person, a bug person, I don’t like so much moisture. But it’s so beautiful (in Oklahoma), and you feel like you’re in this vortex.
Nature – and God – are having a great time there.’

The Spiderwebs hitmaker now has not just a tree but an entire garden full of flowers and corn and has become a self-confessed ‘flower nerd’.
“I just had the most incredible dahlias ever,” Stefani explained. “When we get to Oklahoma, we’re constantly working — and it’s a different kind of work. My mother probably used to do that, and now I get it!’
Nowadays, the mother of three relies on her beauty brand GXVE with the aim of helping women her own age continue to feel youthful and beautiful.
‘There are so many people around my age who still want to feel beautiful and good in the morning.
It gets harder,” she said.

‘I don’t think it matters how old you are with make-up. It gives you that confidence, that feeling of creativity.’
Gwen balances all the different parts of her life – mother, wife, singing coach, rock star, daughter, sister, beauty mogul – through prayer.
“For me, the only way I’ve gotten this far is by having my spiritual faith and being able to take the time to pray,” she said.
“You see the miracles, and that’s inspiration and fuel to keep it going.”
