Candice Swanepoel and fiance Hermann Nicoli are expecting their first baby, and the Victoria’s Secret model just shared her premiere photo of a tiny baby bump.
“Agora e #barrigapositiva ! #babyangel ?????❤️??,” she captioned the photo that shows her with her hands covering her belly.
Candice Swanepoel is in the beginning of her second trimester. She and fellow Victoria’s Secret model Behati Prinsloo, wife of The Voice star Adam Levine, are expecting their babies at about the same time.
It was last August when Hermann Nicoli proposed to Candice Swanepoel after dating for nearly 10 years. She said yes, showing off a gorgeous engagement ring a short time later.

It will be interesting to watch Candice Swanepoel’s baby bump grow in the coming months. She will no doubt go very quickly back down to her pre-pregnancy size. Most models do. After all, their livelihoods depend on it.

There’s absolutely no doubt in anyone’s mind that Hermann Nicoli and Candice Swanepoel’s baby will be gorgeous. After all, just look at his or her parents.
Behati Prinsloo took to social media in recent days to wish her husband, Maroon 5 front man and coach on The Voice, a very happy birthday.
“Happy birthday to the love of my life,” the Victoria’s Secret model captioned an adorable shot of her riding piggyback on Adam. “Everything is boring and meaningless without you!!! ? #besthusband ?.”
Next year on Adam Levine’s birthday, there will be one more person in their family. Behati Prinsloo is pregnant, and the two couldn’t be happier about their first foray into parenthood.
Just a few days ago a source told E! News that Behati Prinsloo and Adam Levine already know what they’re having–but they’re not divulging anything yet.
“She knows what she’s having and she’s very excited,” the source said.
While Behati Prinsloo no doubt showered Adam Levine with birthday gifts, it seems the best is yet to come. No due has yet been revealed for the happy couple, but Behati is in the beginning of her second trimester, so that means she still has several months to go.
Many fans wished Adam Levine a happy birthday via social media this week, too, but it’s likely none of those messages meant as much as the one Behati Prinsloo posted for him.
Hermann Nicoli and Candice Swanepoel are going to be parents. The Victoria’s Secret model and her fiance have been dating for 10 years. They became engaged in August. Swanepoel is about to begin her second trimester.
Candice Swanepoel and Hermann Nicoli have some famous friends entering parenthood at about the same time. Fellow Victoria’s Secret model Behati Prinsloo and her husband Adam Levine are also expecting their first child.
A source tells Extra of the two models, “Candice and Behati are best friends and they are not far apart from each other in pregnancy due dates.”
“They both have been experiencing the first stages of being pregnant together and are happy to have each other who understand. They can’t wait to be mommies,” the source adds.
Candice Swanepoel and Hermann Nicoli plan to spend the summer in New York. It’s uncertain if that’s where they plan for her to deliver their baby.
A source tells E! News the Victoria’s Secret model is three to four months along in her pregnancy.
“She knows what she’s having and she’s very excited,” the source says.
Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo tied the knot in July of 2014. Levine spoke with E! News shortly after their wedding about their impending foray into parenthood.
“Yeah, we’re gonna do it at some point in the not-so-distant-slash-undisclosed-slash-I-really-have-no-idea-big-question-mark future,” he said at the time. “Is that ambiguous enough for you?”
As for how many children he and Behati Prinsloo want to have, Adam Levine said the following.
“Like 17. Is that reasonable?,” he said, adding, “I love kids so much, though. I love seeing kids on the set, too.”
Behati Prinsloo will likely be one of those models who bounces back to her pre-pregnancy shape in a ridiculously short amount of time. Of course when you’re able to hire private trainers and chefs, it makes losing post-baby weight a bit easier.
It will be fun to hear Adam Levine talk about his countdown to becoming a dad on upcoming episodes of The Voice. Since the blind audition portion of the show was recorded a while back, Behati Prinsloo’s pregnancy likely wasn’t up for discussion at that point. Do you expect fans will hear Blake Shelton ribbing Adam once live episodes of The Voice resume?
Congratulations are likely going out to Behati Prinsloo and Adam Levine from friends and fans from all over the globe.
Do you think Behati Prinsloo and Adam Levine are having a baby boy or a baby girl?
The blind auditions are an exciting time on The Voice, with Adam Levine, Pharrell Williams, Christina Aguilera, and Blake Shelton building their teams from them.
“The blind auditions, that’s like Christmas morning,” Blake Shelton said on Monday. “It’s just as exciting as the first season. You never know what’s going to be there behind you.”
Christina Aguilera has thus far lucked out with at least two members of her newly formed team. On Monday, she scored former child star Alisan Porter. Best known for her role alongside Jim Belushi in Curly Sue, Porter belted out her own rendition of Linda Ronstadt’s “Blue Bayou” to a four-chair turn. When she chose Christina Aguilera as her coach, Xtina knew she’d landed someone very special for her team.
Christina Aguilera was very taken with Alisan Porter’s story–one of a mom and a recovering alcoholic.
“Nobody works harder than a mom,” Aguilera told her, adding that “people need to hear that hope” and the music within Porter. “Let a girl win it for once. For once!”
On Tuesday, Christina Aguilera scored Nashville singer Kata Hay. Following her rendition of “Redneck Woman,” Hay’s talent was beyond obvious and shortly thereafter the two women kissed–on the lips.
It’s no secret that Christina Aguilera loves attention. She got it at least twice this week in very big ways.
Might this be the season of The Voice on which Christina Aguilera scores the big win? Gwen Stefani came down to the wire last season, with Adam Levine’s Jordan Smith winning the season instead.
Are you watching season 10 of The Voice? Whose team would you like to see win?
Alisan Porter is back, but unless you’ve already heard this story, you wouldn’t recognize the former child star. Best known for her role as the title character in the 1991 film Curly Sue, in which she starred alongside Jim Belushi, Alisan Porter is now an accomplished singer who brought judge Christina Aguilera to tears on The Voice earlier this week.
“The past 24 hours have been crazy-amazing,” Porter shares of her experience in auditioning for and making it on to The Voice. “I’ve had such an amazing outpouring of support. It’s been really incredible.”
“Any reservations I had got squashed the second I stepped on stage to do my blind audition, and I just feel super comfortable and excited about going forward,” she adds.
It was Monday when Alisan Porter belted out her own rendition of Linda Ronstadt’s “Blue Bayou,” resulting in a four-chair turn on behalf of judges. Adam Levine, Pharrell Williams, Christina Aguilera, and Blake Shelton were astonished at her abilities.
“I really wanted to sing a classic,” she says. “I love songs from that era, I love kind of blending folk and rock and country, so I felt like I wanted to sing a classic with all those elements and that was really something I thought would work and I love that song.”
Life hasn’t been easy for Alisan Porter since she starred in Curly Sue. She struggled with alcoholism, which she speaks openly about in her blog.
“I was living in NYC when I realized I needed to get sober. I was miserable and overwhelmed with life. I was heartbroken and realizing that what had always worked for me in the past was NOT working at all. Not even a little bit. I felt trapped, scared, and sad and I was ready to really go for broke or get better. So, I did what every good user does and I prayed to a god I had never believed in… and then called my mom. Days later I was off to treatment, just like that. For the next four years I went to meetings, worked the steps, got a sponsor, found a god of my own understanding, prayed, meditated and basically grew up. Growing pains were inevitable, I felt them often but I continued on the path because unlike my old ways, this way was working,” she writes.
“I got married,” she continues. “I had kids, I got a new house, I re-did the floors (I love my floors), I got a car (that my dad didn’t pay for). I became a better friend, a better daughter, a better artist, better sister… I just got better. I grounded. But, you see, I also got responsibility. Addicts don’t like responsibility. I got responsibility not only in the form of doing the dishes and making my bed. I got PEOPLE. People that look like me, people that need me, people that copy everything I do and learn basically everything from me. I am their mother. THOSE kind of people. I got babies. Two of them in two years. (Possible addict behavior)”
Alisan Porter goes on to say the struggle is still very real, but the positives in her life these days far outweigh the negatives, and so she fights to remain a sober, responsible mom and wife–and now, a singing star, too.
Alisan Porter chose Christina Aguilera as her coach–she got to choose from four sensational names in the music industry–and will appear again on The Voice when the battle rounds begin.
Did you see Curly Sue back in the early 1990s? Would you have even recognized Alisan Porter had her story not been splashed all over TV and in the media?
Tori Kelly is coming to The Voice. The 23-year-old singer, who is up for Best New Artist at next month’s Grammy Awards, will join Adam Levine’s team on the singing competition show.
There’s a bit of irony in Tori Kelly working on The Voice. When she was just 16 years old, she auditioned for American Idol, but was eliminated quickly. Now American Idol is in its last season, and Tori Kelly is shining brighter than bright.
Other advisers for season 10 of The Voice–that premieres on February 29–are Sean “Diddy” Combs, who will join Pharrell Williams’ team. Patti LaBelle will serve as adviser for Team Christina, as Christina Aguilera makes her return as coach this season.
Christina’s return means there’s no chair for Gwen Stefani to turn, but rumor has it she is coming back as Blake Shelton’s adviser. Since the two started dating this fall, they’ve been spotted together frequently. Maybe Blake could just duct tape Gwen to his chair, so she could ride the turn with him each time he hits his button. Producers might frown upon that, however.
Season nine of The Voice ended in December, with Jordan Smith blowing everyone away with his amazing vocals. With Tori Kelly advising Team Adam (Jordan Smith was on Adam Levine’s team), two of music’s best will guide his team.
Could the presence of Tori Kelly give Adam Levine an edge in this season’s competition? Gwen serving as Blake’s adviser means the bromance/competition between the two men is on.
Christina Aguilera taught daughter Summer Rain this week that mermaids don’t spend much time out of the water. So the mother and daughter watched The Little Mermaid while luxuriating a sudsy bubble bath.
The Voice coach took to Instagram to show her followers how she and her baby girl–now a year old–spend their Friday evenings.
“Me and my little mermaid! ???” Christina Aguilera captioned the post.
Christina Aguilera’s passion for Disney films might come in part from her time as a cast member on The All New Mickey Mouse Club in the 1990s. Aguilera isn’t the only singer to get her start there, either. She worked alongside Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, and even actor Ryan Gosling.
Christina Aguilera will soon be back on TV as a coach on season 10 of The Voice. She’ll join coaches Adam Levine, Pharrell Williams, and Blake Shelton.
Some people think Blake Shelton is trying to replace Christina with Gwen Stefani on The Voice, but it’s far more likely that’s fiction over fact.
OK! Exclusive: Blake Shelton Tries To Blacklist Christina Aguilera From The Voice! Inside His Sneaky Plan https://t.co/MrbEyuo8kq
Daughter Summer Rain is Christina Aguilera’s first child with fiance Matt Rutler. She and ex-husband Jordan Bratman are parents to her eight-year-old son, Max.
Now that you’ve seen this shot of Christina Aguilera and her baby girl watching The Little Mermaid while in the bathtub, will you be able to get the film’s song “Under the Sea” out of your head?
Supermodel Behati Prinsloo is the very sexy wife of The Voice and Maroon 5 star Adam Levine. That means she’s privy to the goings-on of Adam’s fellow Voice coaches. It wasn’t all that long ago that Prinsloo made a very specific prediction–and now that prediction has come true.
It was on a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live with host Andy Cohen that Behati Prinsloo claims she saw the romance between Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani coming.
“Only because they were both kind of going through a moment, and they’re so different but so perfect for each other,” she added. “I didn’t know, but I felt it.”
That “moment” Behati Prinsloo referred to is the end of Blake Shelton’s marriage to country sweetheart Miranda Lambert, and Gwen Stefani’s divorce from Gavin Rossdale. Blake announced his split in July (his divorce was already final when he made the announcement) and the No Doubt singer said in August that she, too, was getting a divorce. No one is really sure when the romance bloomed, but bloom it did.
Seth Meyers was a guest on Andy Cohen’s show along with Behati Prinsloo. He weighed in on Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton’s relationship, too.
“It’s true love… [They’re] terminally in love,” the Late Night host said.
Wouldn’t you love to ask Behati Prinsloo to predict whether or not Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani’s romance will stand the test of time? Will the two still be an item when season 10 of The Voice premieres in February? Blake has already made noise about the need for a fifth coach on The Voice, since Christina Aguilera is set to return, meaning there’s no spot for Gwen Stefani.
What might Behati Prinsloo say if asked that question?
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton seem to be doing just fine even though The Voice has ended for this season. On Tuesday night, Adam Levine’s contestant Jordan Smith won season nine of The Voice.
Some speculated Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton might not continue their relationship once this season ended, but that doesn’t seem to be the case at all.
The two were spotted at the show’s after party on Tuesday, and the PDA was strong. On Wednesday Blake and Gwen were seen out for a drive together.
Season 10 of The Voice will premiere on February 29, but Gwen Stefani won’t be among the coaches. Since Christina Aguilera is returning, there is no spot left open for Gwen.
Blake Shelton recently spoke with Extra about Gwen leaving the show–at least for season 10.
“I don’t [want] Gwen to not be on the show–why can’t we have a fifth coach?” Shelton said. When the interviewer suggested the show could have two female coaches, Blake was all for it.
“Why can’t there be? I vote for that!” he said.
Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani began dating some time this fall after they split from their respective spouses over the summer. Blake announced his divorce from Miranda Lambert in July. Gwen Stefani announced in August that she and Gavin Rossdale were divorcing.
Do you expect Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton’s relationship will survive her going on tour with No Doubt and him staying in L.A. to do another season of The Voice?
Adam Levine is over the moon as the coach whose contestant won The Voice on Tuesday night. Jordan Smith took the season nine title, meaning Adam will tease Blake Shelton mercilessly in the coming months.
Blake Shelton and Adam Levine have long engaged in a bromance that delights viewers of The Voice. Adam’s win has provided him enough fodder to drive the country singer crazy.
Blake had two contestants in Tuesday night’s finale. Emily Ann Roberts, just 17, was the runner up to Jordan Smith. Barrett Baber came in third place.
Gwen Stefani–who is dating Blake Shelton since her split from hubby Gavin Rossdale and his from Miranda Lambert–had one contestant in the finals. Jeffery Austin came in fourth place.
“It’s really quite beautiful because Jordan gets to win The Voice and I get to tear Blake apart for the next six months,” Adam Levine said following his win on Tuesday. “[I’ll be] bragging about my win and his drought of victory. It’s gonna be great.”
Adam and Blake are the only two original coaches remaining on The Voice to have appeared every season since the show began in 2011. Adam won the first season, with Blake Shelton winning the next three consecutive seasons.
Of course Jordan Smith was Tuesday night’s real winner. The 22-year-old Kentucky college student blew both coaches and fans away from the moment he stepped on stage for the blind auditions.
“Honestly there were so many times when I didn’t think I would be in this position and I’m still blown away,” he said following his big win. “I never expected to [get] this far but I’m so honored to be and so proud to be sitting here out of all these people. This is one of the craziest moments that I’ve experienced.”
Blake Shelton better prepare himself. He is in for merciless ribbing from Adam Levine–starting now and probably not ending until Blake lands another Voice win.
Gwen Stefani is hoping against hope that her one remaining contestant, Jeffery Austin, is crowned Tuesday night’s season 11 winner of The Voice. Blake Shelton has two contestants–Barrett Baber and Emily Ann Roberts–vying for the title. Even though this season hasn’t yet officially ended, Blake is already working to bring Gwen Stefani back as a coach for season 11.
Christina Aguilera is set to return to The Voice for season 11, but Blake Shelton is putting pressure on host and executive producer Carson Daly to add a fifth chair to The Voice lineup, so Gwen Stefani can return.
As most everyone knows, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani began dating some time this summer. Blake announced his divorce from Miranda Lambert in July, and in August Gwen, too, announced the end of her marriage to Gavin Rossdale.
“We’ll just address that we love Gwen, we love our coaches,” Carson Daly told reporters ahead of the live show on Monday, evading the question as best he could. “We’re like Iron Chef around here. Once you’ve been in the kitchen, you’re always welcome back in the kitchen.”
“Anytime you want?” Blake Shelton asked pointedly.
“Absolutely,” Daly replied, giving Blake the answer he wanted
“I’ll see you next season, Gwen,” he said with a laugh, ignoring Adam Levine’s “whoop.”
Blake Shelton is clearly head-over-heels crazy about Gwen Stefani. He even predicted her contestant will win this season of The Voice–over his own two contestants.
“You’ve left me no choice here but to say Gwen, because it’s my goal in life to beat Adam or to see somebody beat him,” he joked. “So I’m going to pick Jeffrey. That’s who I would pick to win.”
“I also would have to say Jeffrey,” Levine added in a rare moment of agreement between the two. “He’s a great singer, [and] he’s not on Blake’s team.”
Fans are no doubt (get it…”No Doubt?”) dying to know how Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton’s relationship endures once this season of The Voice is over.
Will you be tuning in tonight to see if Blake Shelton’s contestants (Emily Ann Roberts and Barrett Baber), Gwen Stefani’s contestant (Jeffery Austin, or Adam Levine’s contestant (Jordan Smith) wins this season of The Voice? Poor Pharrell Williams was knocked out of the competition last week, but still lends plenty of support to the finalists.
Stefani, 46, looks way too cute wearing what appears to be one of Shelton’s camo hats, driving around town while her 39-year-old beau, rides shotgun in her Range Rover.
As reported by Us Weekly, Stefani and Shelton confirmed they were dating in November on the same day as the country music awards. Their announcement came just months after their respective divorces over the summer.
“Gwen and Blake are longtime friends who have very recently started dating,” Stefani’s spokesperson said of the couple.
Since taking their love public, Blake and Gwen have been super cuddly during numerous outings, even for the NBC cameras. Earlier this week, Stefani shared an adorable photo from The Voice stage with Blake playfully biting his girlfriend’s shoulder as fellow coaches Pharrell Williams and Adam Levine look on.
Jordan Smith, one of Adam Levine’s contestants on The Voice, beat out Adele on iTunes with his rendition of Queen’s “Somebody to Love,” as performed on Monday night’s show.
Prior to Smith’s trending performance, Adele held the top spot with her new hit song “Hello.”
“I don’t need to say anything at all because that’s one of the best things I’ve ever seen in my entire life,” Adam Levine said following Smith’s performance. He was also fist pumping as Jordan Smith belted out the tune, accompanied by a large gospel choir.
It was just 30 minutes after Jordan Smith’s performance that his version of the Queen hit dethroned Adele, who had been in the number one spot for five weeks.
The excitement continues for Jordan Smith. On Tuesday’s episode of The Voice, he learned he has been voted on to the finale as one of four remaining contestants.
Jordan Smith is from Harlan, Kentucky. He is a 21-year-old Lee University student who loves performing in his school’s choir.
Smith has nothing but wonderful things to say about his coach, Adam Levine.
“He is super involved as a coach,” he told People magazine recently. “That’s not an act. He was just talking to us about our next song choices and takes the time to listen through songs and find the right fit for us.”
Jordan Smith says he’d love to win, but that he’d be thrilled for any of his fellow contestants should they take the top spot instead.
“We have grown close,” he said. “I’d be thrilled to win myself, but just as thrilled for one of these ladies or anyone on any of the other teams to win. I think this is a great opportunity and everyone here is deserving of it.”
Did you catch Jordan Smith’s performance on The Voice Monday night? If so, you’re likely not surprised at all to learn he is one of the final four contestants.
Do you think Jordan Smith will win this season of The Voice?
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton did their best to avoid dating questions during a joint interview with Natalie Morales on The Today Show. In addition to Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton, Adam Levine and Pharrell Williams took part in the interview, too.
“Gwen and Blake, of course we all know what’s going on with you guys,” Natalie Morales said. “Is it good to just be out in the open now?”
Instead of answering the question, Gwen Stefani completely clammed up. Blake Shelton chuckled.
“Nice segue,” Pharrell Williams said.
Adam Levine came to the couple’s rescue.
“Next question! Next question, please!” the Maroon 5 singer urged. “Ask the next question before it gets awkward!”
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton started dating some time this summer after he announced his divorce from Miranda Lambert and she announced she was divorcing Gavin Rossdale. The two have been spotted together many times since then, and seem to make each other quite happy.
Fans can catch Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton–along with Adam Levine and Pharrell Williams Monday and Tuesday on The Voice. By the end of Tuesday’s show, the contestants will have been narrowed down to just four.
What do you expect will become of Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton once this season of The Voice has ended? Will the two continue seeing each other, even after she goes on tour with No Doubt? The lifestyle shouldn’t be a problem as both of them know what it’s like to maintain a relationship while touring and/or recording.
Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher were just a couple of the famous faces living it up in L.A. on Friday night at Jenna Dewan-Tatum’s 35th birthday bash. It’s a rare event for Mila Kunis to go out and leave baby girl Wyatt at home.
Dancing the night away at Bootsy Bellows in Los Angeles, the gang also included Selena Gomez, Niall Horan, Adam Levine, Behati Prinsloo, and Louis Tomlinson.
Jenna Dewan-Tatum’s actual birthday was Thursday, but it seems hubby Channing Tatum knew Friday was a better night for friends like Mila Kunis and Selena Gomez. He planned the bash, and spent the evening canoodling with his pretty wife.
A source says Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, Dewan-Tatum, and her hubby all enjoyed one another in addition to enjoying themselves.
“They were all laughing hysterically together and having the best time,” a source tells People magazine.
At least Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher were well-behaved. Selena Gomez and Niall Horan made news for excessive PDA–lots of hugging, kissing, and dancing close. Justin Bieber must be bummed.
It would have been fun to be that proverbial fly on the wall at Jenna Dewan-Tatum’s birthday bash, if for no other reason than to see her and her hubby interact with friends like Adam Levine, Behati Prinsloo, Mila Kunis, and Ashton Kutcher.
So far the photos that have emerged from the event assure everyone that lots of fun was had by all.
Jenna Dewan-Tatum celebrated her 35th birthday on Friday night at a bash filled with A-listers, including Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo, and of course hubby Channing Tatum.
Held at Bootsy Bellows in L.A., the event saw lots of PDA–on behalf of the birthday girl and her man, as well as others.
Selena Gomez and One Direction’s Niall Horan made news at Jenna Dewan-Tatum’s birthday party. Sources say the pair engaged in some cuddling and kissing, as well as some up-close action on the dance floor.
Niall Horan wasn’t the only One Direction member at Jenna Dewan-Tatum’s party either. Band mate and soon-to-be dad Louis Tomlinson was there, too.
“Channing kept pulling Jenna closer,” a source says of the birthday girl and her Magic Mike XXL star hubby. “They were hugging and kissing and showing off a little PDA. It was adorable.”
Jenna Dewan-Tatum laughed the night away in the company of all her closest friends.
“They were all laughing hysterically together and having the best time,” the source adds.
“Scenes from our annual bday dance party craziness! We threw down!! Love you more than life @echriqui! Thank u to @bootsybellows @absolutelyx @brettgursky for a great night!! Thanks to @djreflex and @dj_bizzy for keeping us dancing all night!” Jenna Dewan-Tatum captioned this Instagram pic.
It certainly sounds like the perfect way to celebrate the big 3-5, don’t you think?
Just imagine having Adam Levine, Channing Tatum, Selena Gomez, and two of the One Direction guys in a room all at the same time. That’s birthday bliss. How lucky is Jenna Dewan-Tatum? Add Adam Levine to that mix, and everyone there was likely swooning.
Since 35 isn’t typically considered a “milestone” birthday, it’s likely when Jenna Dewan-Tatum turns 40, her birthday bash will surpass this one.
Gwen Stefani spent Thanksgiving in L.A., while new beau Blake Shelton spent it at his Oklahoma abode. The next day, however, the two shared a Disneyland adventure. No, Blake didn’t hope a plan for L.A. the day after Thanksgiving. Instead Gwen Stefani Facetimed him from Anaheim.
Gwen Stefani was spotted strolling through Disneyland on Friday with sons Kingston, nine, Zuma, seven, and one-year-old Apollo. She was smiling as she talked to Blake Shelton on her phone via Facetime. Kingston even got in on part of the conversation.
Blake Shelton likely loved what he saw during his Facetime session with Gwen Stefani. An Instagram photo she shared earlier that day showed a very stylish, sexy Gwen. The Facetime call no doubt (or No Doubt) brightened her fellow Voice coach’s day.
It’s likely when Voice coach and Maroon 5 front man Adam Levine sees the photo of Gwen Stefani with Chewbacca that he’ll make a comment about the character being better looking than Blake Shelton. Blake and Adam love to slam each other as part of their ongoing bromance.
Blake Shelton will be back in L.A. soon, as both he and Gwen Stefani are scheduled to appear on the next live airing of The Voice on Monday.
Facetime is a great substitute when you can’t be with the ones you love, but there’s nothing quite like being together in person.
Blake Shelton gave thanks for one of his fellow coaches on The Voice on Thanksgiving Day. Of course everyone expected it might be Gwen Stefani for whom he gave thanks, but it wasn’t–at least not during this particular Tweet, anyway. It was the coach with whom he’s long shared a bromance–Adam Levine.
Blake Shelton is likely referring to the regrowth of Adam Levine’s facial and head hair. When this season of The Voice premiered, Levine had shaved his head, and was the butt of countless jokes on behalf of Shelton.
Contrary to popular belief, Blake Shelton didn’t spend Thanksgiving with new lady Gwen Stefani. Instead he spent it at his home in Oklahoma. Gwen had a photo shoot in L.A., so was there for the holiday.
Blake Shelton’s ex-wife Miranda Lambert went home to her mom and dad for Thanksgiving, in Longview, Texas. Just days ahead of the holiday she spoke out about her divorce from Blake Shelton for the first time.
“Marriage is a tough business, and we gave it our best college try,” she said. “I had a great relationship with an amazing man. I know what good is. I have a great launching pad for the future. I will never take that for granted.”
Despite the turmoil that surely ripped both Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert apart, it seems like they’re both in good places right now. Gwen Stefani’s life was ripped apart when ex-husband Gavin Rossdale cheated on her with their nanny.
It seems like karma or fate or just plain old coincidence threw Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani into each other’s arms.
And then of course there’s Adam Levine. Blake Shelton will always love him.
Gwen Stefani sort of professed her love for new beau and fellow Voice coach Blake Shelton. It was during an interview with Entertainment Tonight that the surprise profession took place.
“I’m just so grateful that I got to know Adam,”Gwen Stefani said of Adam Levine. “It’s weird because he’s such a good person, he’s literally so smart and he’s so witty and talented and I’ve just learned so much.”
Does this mean the relationship between Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton has heated up to the point of love? Or was Gwen just being funny and playing off Adam Levine’s joke?
Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale split up last spring, and announced their divorce this summer. It’s a bit uncertain as to how long Gwen and Blake have been dating. His marriage to Miranda Lambert ended this summer, too.
Blake Shelton wasn’t talking The Voice contestants or Gwen Stefani, or even joking about Adam Levine’s hair–or lack thereof–on Friday. Instead, he was pausing to remember his late brother, who died in a car crash when Blake was just 14 years old. Friday was the 25th anniversary of Richie Shelton’s untimely passing, and Blake Shelton shared some thoughts on Twitter.
Wow… 25 years ago today we lost my brother Richie Shelton. He's still my hero going strong. Wish everyone could've known him.
Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert co-wrote a song about Blake’s late brother back in 2011. “Over You” earned Miranda Lambert the 2012 CMA Song of the Year award.
Shelton explained after her win that the two of them wrote the song while on a tour bus.
“We turned the TV off and we started talking about my brother,” he said. “She never met my brother. We started talking and the next thing you know, we started playing, the next thing you know, we started writing and we wrote the song that night.”
“I said, ‘I want you to record it because I don’t want to go there every night with my show, I want to be proud of that creation and stand back and smile but I don’t want to be in it again every night,’” he added.
Blake Shelton talked about his late brother in a 2014 interview.
“I remember picking up the phone to call him a week after he was dead to tell him something, and it was like…constantly a shock to me that he was dead,” he said. “No, that’s what my dad told me, too. He said, ‘Look, you will never ever get over this happening, you’re just gonna have to learn to get used to it,’ and he was absolutely right.”
During a Country Weekly interview–also in 2014–Blake Shelton shared some fond memories of Richie.
“His room was straight across the hallway from mine,” he said. “He’d be in there cranking up anything from Ted Nugent all the way to Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams Jr., Garth Brooks, Joan Jett. He loved ‘U Can’t Touch This’ by MC Hammer. I can’t tell you how many times I heard that damn song coming out of his room!”
“He was my hero,” he added. “I thought, ‘If he loves music that much, that’s what I want to do.’”
Blake Shelton’s hero is no doubt looking down on him with a great sense of pride for the musical legend he has become.
Personal loss, such as the one Blake suffered, often defines a person. Blake Shelton helped process his grief by utilizing his talents and pouring his heart into the thing he does best.
That certainly doesn’t mean he’s forgotten. Like his dad said, Blake Shelton has simply gotten used to it.
