Country star Blake Shelton has set a goal for himself in the upcoming year: to either stop drinking altogether or at least reduce his alcohol consumption. During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the 47-year-old singer shared his struggle to achieve this resolution.
When asked about his plans for New Year’s Eve with his wife, singer Gwen Stefani, and her three children from a previous marriage, Shelton revealed that they usually go to bed early. However, he opened up about a recurring New Year’s resolution that he has been unable to fulfill – his desire for sobriety.

Unfortunately, Shelton and Stefani won’t be able to celebrate the new year together this time. Stefani has a gig in Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve, as reported by Access Hollywood. Despite this, Stefani expressed her excitement about the opportunity, saying, “If you’re gonna be working, then I’m gonna be working – so I’m just gonna fly in and out, it’s gonna be awesome. I’m really looking forward to it.”
The superstar couple, who first met on the reality competition show “The Voice” in 2014, made their relationship official by tying the knot at Shelton’s ranch in Oklahoma on July 3, 2021.
