[custom_adv] Finding the love of your life is not an easy task, but somehow, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton have managed to do just that! The “Hollaback Girl” songstress and the country crooner, who announced their engagement in October 2020, knew they had something special when they began dating in 2015. [custom_adv] “Life is full of surprises,” Gwen gushed during an appearance on Today in September 2019. “I just never thought in my wildest dreams, on paper, a cowboy and a ska-like girl from Anaheim would be hanging out, but it works perfect and we’re just having so much fun and we just feel so blessed to be at this point in our lives.” [custom_adv] Gwen and Blake have been getting along so well that the Grammy Award winner has already become a person who Gwen’s kids — Kingston, Zuma and Apollo — can depend on. Since Blake came into their lives, he’s filled in the role of an amazing stepfather. [custom_adv] Even though it may seem like love at first sight, Blake and Gwen were actually in other relationships when they first met each other. Gwen was married to her husband, Gavin, and Blake was wed to Miranda Lambert. However, in July 2015, the “God Gave Me You” singer got a divorce from the country songstress after they spent four years of marriage. [custom_adv] The couple made their engagement Instagram official on Tuesday with a sweet post from Stefani, 51, sharing a photo of her ring alongside her new fiancé, 44. Multiples sources confirmed to PEOPLE that the two recently got engaged in Oklahoma. [custom_adv] The big announcement comes just weeks after the No Doubt alum told Extra that she thought it was "pretty cute" when people referred to Shelton as her husband.
