Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton have been together for years, and their fans are convinced that an engagement announcement from the couple is imminent.

Very early on in their relationship, Shelton already made a good impression on Stefani’s three children and family. During her appearance on “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” the No Doubt singer shared details from her first trip to Oklahoma with her family.

Shelton, Stefani, and her family members were driving around when they saw a tree that had been blown down on the road. The “Hollaback Girl” singer, who is from California, had not seen trees that big and that close.

After seeing the tree, Shelton stepped out of his truck, and he pulled out a big chain and wraps it around the tree. Stefani’s family was so impressed, and they realized that her boyfriend is a real man.

Meanwhile, Stefani and Shelton have been dating since 2015. And there are ongoing rumors suggesting that they will soon tie the knot. However, a source told Entertainment Tonight that the couple isn’t rushing into marriage.

“They made a deal to take it slow after their divorces. Neither Gwen nor Blake wanted to rush into marriage. They have been living the life they have always dreamt of together and haven't felt the need,” the source said.

Prior to dating each other, Stefani was married to Gavin Rossdale. The former couple was together for 13 years.

During her interview with Marie Claire, Stefani said that the end of her marriage to her Rossdale was so painful. And for quite some time, she didn’t understand why has experienced so much heartache in her life.

“I have parents who are still married and in love. I had such loving role models. I didn’t understand it,” she said.

Shelton, on the other hand, was married to Miranda Lambert for four years. The country singer was still legally married to Kaynette Williams when he started having a relationship with Lambert.
