On July 3, 2021, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton finally married in an intimate ceremony at Shelton’s Oklahoma ranch with 40 friends and family members. Shelton reportedly built the chapel with one purpose in mind — to marry Gwen there.
For her wedding to Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani wore two custom Vera Wang dresses. For the ceremony, she donned a lily-white silk georgette gown with a plunging sweetheart neckline, fitted bodice, and a high-low tulle skirt, paired with a chapel-length veil embroidered with the couple’s names and her three sons’, plus sky-high Le Silla stiletto cowboy boots with Swarovski crystals.

For the reception, she switched to a strapless lily-white silk crepe and tulle mini dress adorned with sequin-embroidered foliage, love bird motifs symbolizing the couple and her sons, and a shorter floral-appliquéd veil with a white bow. Her look was completed with a sleek bun, bold red lipstick, dark eyeliner, gold bangles, a cross necklace, and sparkling earrings.

Why Adam Levine Wasn’t Invited to Gwen and Blake’s Wedding
However, fans quickly realized that their fellow The Voice judge, Adam Levine, was not in attendance. Instead, the Maroon 5 singer and his wife, Behati Prinsloo, were spotted enjoying the sunny weather in Miami, Florida.

Blake told Ellen DeGeneres why Adam Levine was not invited on the December 6 episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
“That’s the reason we didn’t invite him to the wedding is that interview he did on your show,” Blake revealed. “It’s like, ‘I’m not inviting him.’”
“Well, we’ll never know,” Blake replied when asked if Adam would’ve been invited if he hadn’t said what he did. “I purposely did not invite Adam Levine to my wedding — and I think it’s funny,” Shelton added.
In April 2021, Maroon 5’s lead vocalist joked on Ellen‘s show that he didn’t support Blake and Gwen’s marriage. “I don’t support their marriage,” Adam joked. “She’s so cool and he’s not,” he added.
“But he’s very funny and very smart,” Ellen argued, to which Adam responded, “He’s vaguely charming.”
“I’ll go to the wedding and I’ll object,” Adam said. “I probably won’t be invited now that I’m saying this on live television. But I’ll be there somehow.”

How Gwen and Blake Fell in Love After Heartbreak
The No Doubt frontwoman-turned-solo star, Gwen Stefani, met Blake Shelton for the first time when joining him, Adam Levine, and Pharrell Williams as a coach on The Voice in April 2014.
They officially started dating in November 2015 when a rep for Shelton confirmed the romance, saying, “Gwen and Blake are longtime friends who have very recently started dating.”
Stefani revealed to Ryan Seacrest, “To be super honest, it is kind of crazy we both went through the same thing at the same time,” adding that they bonded through their divorces.

The Wedding Delay: Gwen’s Divorce, Annulment, and Church Plans
While Us Weekly reported that Blake Shelton was ready to propose after just a few months of dating in 2016, the couple waited to get married because Stefani was waiting for her previous marriage to be annulled by the Catholic Church.
The magazine claimed Stefani wanted to get married in a proper Catholic ceremony, which couldn’t happen until her marriage to Gavin Rossdale was annulled.
The No Doubt singer finalized her divorce on April 8, 2016, after 14 years of marriage. They have three sons together.

The gossip magazine quoted a source saying, “They’ve had some heated discussions” over the issue and that Shelton was anxious to get married. The insider added, “In some ways, they have this dark cloud hanging over them. They’re both emotional about wanting to get married as soon as possible.”
While she’s a Christian and frequently takes her sons to church, according to fact-checking website Gossip Cop, a spokesperson for Gwen Stefani said there was no truth to the rumor.
Regarding the diamond on her ring finger at the 2019 People’s Choice Awards, she clarified to E! News that it was just a fashion accessory.

“It might be a real ring, a real diamond but it’s not a wedding ring. No, no. It actually doesn’t fit over the glove on this hand so I put it on this hand. But looks good, right?” Gwen told the gossip website and added that she’ll let fans know if they get engaged.

From Unfamiliar Faces to Soulmates: Gwen’s First Impression of Blake
While making an appearance on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live, Gwen revealed that she did not know Blake Shelton existed before meeting him on The Voice.
“Before the show, I didn’t know that he existed. I didn’t know he was a human being on this planet and I didn’t know much about country,” Gwen explained.
She added, “Now I’ve learned about country and accepted that he’s a true hillbilly…He’s literally a country jukebox. He knows every single song forever. I love that we’re from different genres.”
