UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIFORNIA: Blake Shelton is enjoying whatever time he’s left with on ‘The Voice’ show, but he’s equally excited to see his wife Gwen Stefani returning next season. Talking with People, the country singer addressed the new development, "Well, I'm happy. When I finally came to the conclusion that I was going to call it a day last year, you know, she even said, 'Well, I guess they probably won't have me back ever again.'"
The 46-year-old star continues, "And I go, 'What are you talking? They invited you to be a coach for seasons before you and I were ever thing.' And she goes, 'Oh, yeah, that's right. They did do that.' I go. 'Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're still going to want Gwen Stefani to be a coach.' Then sure enough, you know, she's already gonna be back and she was excited to get the call." Shelton didn’t shy away from praising Stefani, "But she's such a visionary, and that comes through with her artists. You can see these kids come on the show... by the end, they actually look like stars, and that's the Gwen Stefani effect." The 53-year-old will feature alongside coach Niall Horan Reba McEntire and John Legend, reports People.
