Watch:Gwen Stefani Reveals “Third Party” in Blake Shelton Marriage

Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are feeling hella good at the 2025 American Music Awards.

The No Doubt frontwoman and the “God Gave Me You” singer each performed at the awards show in Las Vegas May 26, with him introducing her big moment.

Blake, 48, had a sweet message for his wife, calling her “a winning artist who I really love.”

“Let’s hear it from my one and only,” he added, “the one and only—Gwen Stefani.”

Gwen, 55, then took the stage to perform a medley in honor of her 2005 AMA win, singing “Sweet Escape” and “Hollaback Girl.” 

Over the years, the couple, who wed in 2021, have frequently gushed about their love story. In fact, Gwen—who shares kids Kingston, 18, Zuma, 16, and Apollo, 10 with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale—recently shared how Blake helped her pick up the pieces in the wake of her 2015 divorce.

“Meeting my husband felt like a second chance at life,” she told the Guardian in November. “Because when my family fell apart, it felt like a catastrophe. How do you pick yourself up from that? But God put this other person there to love me.”
