Blake Shelton says he and Gwen Stefani didn’t know if she said ‘yes out loud’ during his proposal

Blake Shelton proposed to longtime love Gwen Stefani in October 2020.

And five months after she said yes, Blake gave fans a firsthand account of how the proposal went down. 

The 44-year-old country star and The Voice judge said: ‘I remember, after I asked her, there was so crying and thins, and Gwen’s oldest son Kingston was sitting right next to us when this happened,’ he told Access Hollywood.

Blake, who was doing an Interview virtually with fellow Voice judge Nick Jonas with Access Hollywood, continued: ‘Gwen at one moment said, “Wait a minute, did I answer you? Did I saw yes out loud?”‘

Adding: ‘And even I was wondering! And Kingston said, “Mom, yeah, you did. I heard you say yes.’ 

The lovebirds announced their engagement October 27. 2020 after dating for five years. 

In December, Gwen, 51, appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show, where she said she almost her proposal because she didn’t want to go to Oklahoma because of COVID-19.

‘I had no idea, obviously. In fact, I was trying to get out of going to Oklahoma because it was getting too complicated with COVID and the family.’ 

‘I was like, ‘I think we should just cancel the trip.’ It was one of those. Then we got it together and we ended up going. [Our family] was all there,’ she said. 

Gwen added that Blake’s sister and her family were there, along her kids, her brother and his family, stating they’re, ‘always all there.’  

‘We’re building a house there. We were going to go from one part of the land to the other part of the land to go to see the house. And meanwhile, Blake had had this ring ready to go for a couple of weeks and nobody knew,” she said.

She did add that the only person who did know was her father, because he was at her birthday gathering in early October, and Shelton showed him the ring.

She added that when they all got there, everybody wanted to get back for various reasons, before Blake made his move.

‘My son was sitting right by this fireplace and Blake was basically on his knees to do a fire and he goes, ‘Hey can you look in that cabinet and get a firestarter?” I look in and see a ring in a box and go, “Ahhh What? Are you serious?”‘

She added that everyone came running when they heard the screaming, but unlike many proposals these days, there was no video, only a photo her future sister-in-law took.

‘It was a pretty magical moment,’ Gwen said, while Kelly thought it was ‘cool’ that it wasn’t on video.

On October 27, 2020, Gwen shared an image to her Instagram page showing off her left hand in the air as she kissed Blake, captioning it @BlakeShelton Yes please!’

Blake shared the same photo with the caption: ‘Hey @gwenstefani thanks for saving my 2020… And the rest of my life. I love you. I heard a YES!’

The duo split their time at his ranch in Oklahoma and their new $13 million home in LA with her three children from her previous marriage to Gavin Rossdale.

She shares sons Kingston, 14, Zuma, 12, and Apollo, seven, from her marriage to the Bush frontman, which ended in 2016 after 14 years.

Gwen and Gavin, 55, were married on September 14, 2002 until she filed for divorce August 3, 2015 for irreconcilable differences. 

Their divorce was finalized on April 8, 2016. 

Blake was previously married to Miranda Lambert from 2011 until 2015, and to Kaynette Williams from 2003 until 2006. 

Gwen and Blake met while on The Voice in 2015 as judges and announced they were dating in November 2015. 

On Sunday, Gwen celebrated her youngest son Apollo Bowie Flynn Rossdale’s seventh birthday.

The rocker shared a sweet snap of her son and her on her Instagram page with the caption: happy b day bday boy!!! #apollo.’
