Blake Shelton had some love for his honey bee on her birthday.
In honor of his wife Gwen Stefani’s 55th birthday on Oct. 3, Blake shared a series of new photos of the couple.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my favorite girl…,” the “God’s Country” singer wrote. “My pretty girl @gwenstefani!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!”
Blake’s post led with a selfie of him and Gwen from the set of The Voice, and followed with pics of them onstage together, posing backstage and taking a ride on a tractor at their Oklahoma home.
Blake’s birthday post came just days after he and Gwen introduced the world to their family’s latest addition.
The Voice coach announced on Instagram on Sept. 26 that she and Blake, 48, had taken in a stray kitten named Corn Shelton—who wasn’t in the best shape when they found him at their Oklahoma home.
"The day he showed up to our home, he was hardly alive + so sick," she wrote. "But with a lot of love + nurturing, he became a healthy kitten."
Little Corn joins the rest of the couple’s pets and Gwen’s children Kingston, 18, Zuma, 15, and Apollo, 10, whom she shares with her ex-husband Gavin Rossdale.
Gwen and Blake tied the knot in 2021, six years after they began their relationship while working alongside each other on The Voice. Last month, Blake compared his and the “Cool” singer’s romance to another celeb (tend to avoid A-list) couple: colon Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
“That’s what Gwen and I did,” Blake told Pat McAfee on the Sept. 19 episode of The Pat McAfee Show. “It’s like, ‘Look, I’m dating Gwen Stefani. I want the f--kin' world to know that.’ You know what I mean? The fact that they’re going there shows that they’re probably super into each other and proud of each other and their accomplishments.”

Let the Rumors Begin
"I think he's hot, don't you? But to be super honest, it is kind of crazy we both went through the same thing at the same time. There's been so many people that I've gotten so much comfort from. Just people coming to me and telling me their story. Not confiding, but sharing, which has just helped me see things from a different perspective and move forward." —Gwen to Ryan Seacrest in November 2015
Look of Love
"How can I not be [in love]? She is the greatest. She is the greatest." —Blake on Today in March 2018.
"Saved My Life"
"When you have a broken heart—at least, when I do—you got to get it out of your system. You want people to sympathize with you. I was at rock bottom, in the middle of hell...Gwen saved my life. Who else on earth could understand going through a high-profile divorce from another musician?" —Blake to Billboard in July 2016
Country Livin'
"I grew up in Orange County, so I don't know if you've been down there, but it's nothing like the middle of America and our nature was the beach. So to be able to be in Oklahoma and be able to experience a ranch kind of vibe is just something I never ever had, so it's just been really, it's been great, amazing." —Gwen on Jimmy Kimmel Live in August 2020
Wedding Bells
"You know, what? I love weddings. The kids love him. We love him. Everybody loves him. He is lovable! I think about it all the time." —Gwen to Ellen DeGeneres when discussing marrying Blake
Fierce Fashion
"[My style is] more feminine than ever before. It's probably because I'm super in love and have a really manly man. I enjoy letting that part of me come out now because when I was in No Doubt, I never thought of myself as sexy. Even in my 30s, I was a tomboy. I hardly ever carried a purse." —Gwen to InStyle in July 2018
Sexiest Man Alive
"He doesn't even like to do a photo shoot. You can never convince him to do it. So he just called me like, ‘They want me to do this.' And I was like, ‘You should totally do it! You're so sexy!'" —Gwen's reaction to Blake being named People's Sexiest Man Alive
Hot Commodity
"He's so good at the show, I mean, he's just so magical. Blake is literally a unicorn. Like anywhere he goes, people are just attracted to him, and he's such an incredible talent." —Gwen on SiriusXM's Andy Cohen Live in September 2019
Biggest Fans
"Setting here watching @gwenstefani rehearsals it continues to shock me the amount of GIANT hits this girl has written... I highly recommend y'all catch her Vegas show if you can get tickets!!!" —Blake on Twitter in June 2018
A Hand to Hold
"I think she's kept me from going to the absolute bottom. It was like literally falling off a cliff and a hand reached out and caught me, is what it feels like. I've never had that with somebody where it just felt like no matter what, she has my back. It's the greatest feeling." — Blake on Good Dish in March 2022
Unexpected Miracles
“Something that I wanted since I was a little girl is to be married and have this love that I saw my parents have and have babies. That dream was completely ruined; it was crushed, and I had to figure out how I was going to move forward and make a new dream. And God putting Blake in my life was just that miracle.” — Gwen to People in November 2024
"A Second Chance at Life"
“Meeting my husband felt like a second chance at life. Because when my family fell apart, it felt like a catastrophe. How do you pick yourself up from that? But God put this other person there to love me.” — Gwen to The Guardian in November 2024
