How Blake Shelton Reportedly Proposed to Gwen Stefani
Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani revealed on Tuesday, October 27, that they’re engaged after five years of dating. And now details of how Shelton popped the question are starting to emerge.
“Blake had the ring custom-designed, and asked permission from her dad before asking Gwen," a source tells Us Weekly. “It meant so much to Gwen that Blake was so traditional about it.”
A second source tells the outlet that Shelton did get down on one knee to propose—in his home state of Oklahoma just a few days before the couple broke the news on Instagram.
“Hey @gwenstefani thanks for saving my 2020... And the rest of my life.. I love you. I heard a YES,” Shelton wrote on Instagram alongside a pic of himself and Stefani kissing, her engagement ring in full view.
Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani, both judges on The Voice, started dating in November 2015. They were both going though divorces at the same time: Shelton from Miranda Lambert, and Stefani from Gavin Rossdale. It’s a situation they’ve each opened up about at different times.
“It’s not something that anybody could have seen coming, besides God, I guess,” Shelton told Entertainment Tonight in 2016 about his relationship with Stefani. “It doesn’t look like it would make sense, you know? But all I can tell you is, it does. It just makes the most perfect sense for us and where we’re at in our lives. I tell people all the time, ‘Gwen saved my life last year.’ She did, and I think she would probably tell you something similar about me.”
Stefani told Harper’s Bazaar something similar that year. “[Backstage on the set of The Voice] Blake was like, ‘Everybody, before we go out there, I want to let everyone know that by the time this airs, I will be divorced.’” she said. “It was like being handed this gift of a friend who was going through the exact same thing at the exact same time and then everything flipped. It went from horrible to, like, hopeful and like, ‘Wow, God, you just don’t know what’s gonna happen next.’”
