The significant professional achievement of Blake Shelton was seen by his wife. On Friday, the country artist, who is now 46 years old, was honored with the installation of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and Gwen Stefani was present to cheer him on.
During her speech during the event, Stefani, whose marriage to Shelton took place in 2021, referred to her spouse as her “dream come true.”
Stefani started her remarks by saying, “It blows my mind to be here today on the Hollywood Walk of Fame celebrating my husband,” after which she made reference to her three boys, Apollo, 9, Zuma, 14, and Kingston, 16, who were also present at the event.
She told him, “The boys and I, along with the rest of your family, your friends, and colleagues, could not be more proud of you for receiving this honor. You are so deserving of it.” “…From barely graduating high school to roofing houses and then moving to Nashville by himself at 17 years old to chase the only thing he’d ever wanted to do in his life — be a country singer.”
A further comment made by Stefani was as follows: “There is nobody like him, he is a one-of-a-kind guy, and the audiences all fall in love with him.” Everyone feels like they know Blake Shelton everywhere we go because he is not arrogant and because he is not fake. Trust me on this one.
After she finished her speech, she told her husband, “You are part of the country dream, the Hollywood dream, and you are part of the American dream, and everyone knows that you are my dream come true.”
Adam Levine, who appeared with Shelton on the first season of The Voice, was also there for the event. During his address, Levine made a lighthearted boast about the fact that he had received his star on the Walk of Fame and been voted People’s Sexiest Man alive many years before Shelton was awarded any of these accolades.
A note of sincerity was added to the conclusion of the speech by Levine, who said to Shelton, “Honest to God, it makes me sick to my stomach to say this to you, but I’m truly proud of you… I have nothing but love and admiration for you.
Shelton took the microphone next after Carson Daly, the presenter of The Voice, had finished his address, which was packed with ribbing. He made sure to bring up his wife by saying something to the effect of, “When I married Gwen, I kind of stopped checking things off my list of accomplishments in my life.” As a result, this is the cherry on top of the cake. I adore you so much. That is the most significant event that has occurred all during our trip.
At the end of his remarks, Shelton paid tribute to his late brother, Richie, by saying that he was deserving of this accolade. Shelton was only 14 years old when an automobile tragedy took the life of his elder brother.
“I was thinking about what I was going to say when I got up here and we were talking about what I was going to say when I got up here.” “That is, in my opinion, the most appropriate way to bring this discussion to a close. Richie was my brother who I had to put an end to a very long time ago. Therefore, I would want to dedicate the star that I have on the Walk of Fame to my brother, Richie.
After the event, Shelton chatted with ET’s Cassie DiLaura, where he expressed his awe at having received yet another distinction.
“I’m not really feeling anything right now. To have something that’s tangible, actually built into the building here, it’s fantastic to have a star,” he said in an interview with ET. “I’m never good at taking in the moment right when it’s happening.” “It truly is something that I can’t believe, because it’s nothing that I ever imagined was in the cards for me. I never believed that it would ever be in the cards for me. I never in a million years imagined that I would ever get the opportunity to be on television.
Shelton continued by saying, “I know that The Voice is something that drove people to figure out the music side of what it is that I do, which is what the category that my star is under, which makes me extremely proud.” “From that point on, everything got started. When all of this is over and done with one of these days, I’m simply going to go back to being a country singer. It’s everything I’ve ever dreamed of becoming.”
