  • The country singer said they are as in love as ever nearly two months after tying the knot
  • Shelton and Stefani will perform "Happy Anywhere" at the "CMA Summer Jam," which airs Thursday on ABC

Blake Shelton is loving being married to Gwen Stefani.

Shelton, 45, and Stefani, 51, who tied the knot on July 3 at his ranch in Tishomingo, Oklahoma, will be among the music stars who will showcase their biggest hits at the "CMA Summer Jam," which airs Thursday on ABC.

In an interview ahead of the show's airing, Shelton spoke about how life has changed for him and Stefani since they wed.

"Married life so far is… it's incredible," he told the TV show "People." "I mean, it's everything that it already was, which was awesome. She just can't get away from me now."

He and Stefani are set to perform their duet, "Happy Anywhere," in the three-hour special, which was filmed at the Ascend Amphitheater in downtown Nashville in late July.

A video of the couple's performance captured by a fan and shared on Twitter showed Shelton introducing Stefani mid-performance as "Gwen Stefani Shelton." In the clip, the country singer was dressed in his signature button-up shirt and jeans, while the No Doubt vocalist stunned in a white lace dress and matching studded cowboy boots.

"What a beautiful couple. God bless you both forever. Keep the love shining," one fan commented on the video.

"They're so dang cute together! I wish them nothing but the best and a long, happy marriage. They both deserve it," another added.

Aside from the couple, Shelton's ex-wife, Miranda Lambert, is also among the performers at CMA Summer Jam. In addition, Carrie Underwood, 38, will take the stage with Dwight Yoakam, 64, and Mickey Guyton, 38.

"We get to sing a couple of [Yoakam's] songs together, which I'm super excited about, 'cause he just oozes coolness," Underwood told "People."

Meanwhile, Guyton, who became a first-time mom when she welcomed son Grayson earlier this year, said motherhood has "changed [her] outlook on [her] own artistry." It also influenced the way she treats others, according to the singer.

The other stars who are set to perform during the special include Jimmie Allen, Gabby Barrett, Dierks Bentley, Brothers Osborne, Luke Bryan, Luke Combs, Florida Georgia Line, Carly Pearce, Cole Swindell, Thomas Rhett and Lainey Wilson.

The special will be the first concert broadcast event for the Country Music Association in nearly two years.

"I am still grinning ear to ear from these last two nights of incredible live Country Music," CMA chief Sarah Trahern said in a statement to People. "Seeing artists finally return to the stage and the reaction from fans was absolutely electric. Viewers are in for such a treat from familiar superstars and fresh new faces when 'CMA Summer Jam' airs on Sept. 2 on ABC."

"CMA Summer Jam" will air on ABC Thursday at 8 p.m. EDT.
