Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton have been married for a while now. While Shelton never had any biological children, Stefani has often gushed over what a wonderful stepfather her husband is.

What Is Shelton Like As A Stepfather?
Shelton has embraced being a stepfather and even said that his career had taken a backseat since he married Stefani and became the boys’ stepfather. He said he was enjoying this new phase of his life.
While he has enjoyed being a father figure to the boys in his home, he also acknowledged how scary it was to be a role model to three young men. He confessed:
“That’s a scary moment for me because it’s one thing for me to be with the kids all the time and be their buddy, but you do have to consider after a while that they start to listen to things that you say and there’s a lot of responsibility that comes with that.”

However, he found the balance between being the boys’ buddy and being their stepfather and an authority figure in their lives. He has also begun doing everyday fatherly things like watching the boys’ sports matches.
In June last year, he and Stefani were seen attending Stefani’s son’s baseball game in Los Angeles. The pair looked relaxed and casual as they went to cheer the young man on.
Since the couple’s marriage in 2021, they have often been seen out with Stefani’s sons and look the picture of a happy family, with Shelton quickly getting along with Stefani’s boys.
