Gwen Stefani loves Oklahoma: “Nature and God are right there!”
Gwen Stefani Embraces Country Life in Oklahoma
Gwen Stefani, the 53-year-old pop singer, is loving her more laid-back country life in Oklahoma. She has been married to country singer and OK native Blake Shelton since 2021. In a recent interview with People, Stefani opened up about how she’s been adjusting to a more rustic life on the ranch.
“I am not really a dirt person, a bug person, I don’t like that much humidity,” Stefani told the outlet. “But it’s so beautiful [in Oklahoma], and you kind of feel like you’re going into this vortex. Nature — and God — is all right there.”
The mom of three also shared how she never expected to be living this sort of life. She reminisced about her childhood, saying, “When I was young, I’d walk home from school and see my mom in her shorts doing her gardening, and my dad would be cutting the trees and make me pick up the branches. I’d be like, ‘I’m never having a tree at my house.’” However, now she describes herself as a “garden flower nerd” and understands the work her parents did.
“When we get to Oklahoma, we’re constantly working — and it’s a different kind of work. It’s probably what my mom was doing back in the day, and now I get it!” Stefani said.
Stefani also discussed her unexpected relationship with Blake Shelton. The pair met while hosting the reality competition show, “The Voice,” in 2014.
“I didn’t see any of this coming with Blake. This was just a big old ‘What?’ It was an amazing gift to experience love like that for the first time,” she told People. “He’s changed my life … when I [started dating] Blake, that’s when I felt home, like, ‘Oh, this is where I’m supposed to be, with this guy.”
Stefani, who was previously married to musician Gavin Rossdale, also mentioned the messy dissolution of their marriage during the interview while promoting her new makeup brand.

“Everybody pretty much knows that at one point my life fell apart. It was terrible, and there’s so many people out there that have gone through the same thing. When that happened, I had to literally start over again. It was a reset of my life,” she said.
Despite the chaos and busyness of life, Stefani credits her faith for keeping her grounded. “For me, the only way that I’ve gotten this far is with my spiritual faith and being able to take time out to pray. You see the miracles, and that’s inspiration and fuel to keep it going.”
