Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are leaning on faith to help navigate the ups and downs of married life. The musical couple, who tied the knot in 2021, continue to grow stronger together, and Stefani recently shared the advice that’s been keeping their love steady.
During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, the 55-year-old pop icon opened up about the secret to maintaining her relationship with Shelton, 48. When asked how they keep their bond strong, Stefani said, “Make sure you have a third party.”

But she quickly clarified she wasn’t referring to therapy or counseling. Instead, Stefani looked upward and pointed toward the sky clearly referencing a spiritual source. “Make sure you have a third party,” she repeated, hinting that it’s her faith in God that anchors their marriage.
Stefani and Shelton began dating in 2015 after meeting as coaches on The Voice. At the time, both were fresh from high-profile breakups—Stefani had ended her 13-year marriage to musician Gavin Rossdale, while Shelton had just divorced country singer Miranda Lambert.
Their friendship blossomed during a time of shared heartbreak, and soon evolved into a romance that captured the hearts of fans. The couple announced their engagement in October 2020 and exchanged vows in a private ceremony on Shelton’s Oklahoma ranch in June 2021.
While the pair has been open about their love and affection for one another, Stefani’s recent comments suggest their relationship is rooted in more than just chemistry or shared interests. The emphasis on spiritual support offers insight into how the couple manages challenges behind the scenes.
Shelton has also expressed deep appreciation for his wife and her family, stepping into the role of stepfather to Stefani’s three sons from her previous marriage: Kingston, 18, Zuma, 16, and Apollo, 11.

Stefani’s previous marriage to Rossdale ended following reports of infidelity involving the family’s nanny. Shelton, on the other hand, filed for divorce from Lambert just weeks before Stefani announced her own separation, a timing that would eventually bring the two together.
Despite their rocky pasts, Stefani and Shelton appear more united than ever. And now, with a shared spiritual foundation and deep mutual respect, they seem committed to navigating their marriage with intention and heart. Their story is a reminder that love, when guided by faith and friendship, can not only survive challenges—but thrive.
