Gwen Stefani admits to having a ‘third party’ in Blake Shelton marriage

Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are not making their marriage work alone.

The “Hollaback Girl” singer shared the best advice she has ever received about love during a recent appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show.”

“Make sure you have a third party,” she said.

As Stefani answered, she looked up and pointed one finger to the sky, seemingly referring to God.

The pop star was then met with applause from the studio audience.

Stefani, 55, and Shelton, 48, began dating in 2015 after meeting as coaches on “The Voice.”

At the time, the musicians were both newly divorced.

That July, Shelton filed for divorce from his second wife, Miranda Lambert, after four years of marriage, just weeks before Stefani and Gavin Rossdale called it quits on their 13-year marriage.

She and the Bush lead singer, 59, share three sons: Kingston, 18, Zuma, 16, and Apollo, 11.

The No Doubt frontwoman and the country music star announced their engagement in October 2020. He proposed with an eight-carat diamond ring worth around $500,000.

Page Six exclusively reported that the pair tied the knot in July 2021 in an intimate ceremony at Shelton’s Oklahoma ranch.

Last November, Stefani gushed over her romance with the “God’s Country” crooner, saying she was given a “second chance at life” when they met after her divorce.

“When my family fell apart, it was a catastrophe,” she told the Guardian.

“How do you pick yourself up from that? But God put this other person there to love me.”

The “Sweet Escape” songstress said she and Shelton “came together in gardening,” which prompted her to write her song “Purple Irises” about their love.

“We have a house together in Oklahoma, and during the pandemic, we came across this very old building on the land, and there were some purple irises, which someone must have planted centuries ago, but they’ve survived,” she told the outlet.

“I wrote the song ‘Purple Irises’ about that and how it feels to find true love and the insecurities of not wanting to lose it.”
