As Stefani answered, she looked up and pointed one finger to the sky, seemingly referring to God.

The pop star was then met with applause from the studio audience.

At the time, the musicians were both newly divorced.

Shelton filed for divorce from his second wife, Miranda Lambert, that July after four years of marriage, just weeks before Stefani and Gavin Rossdale called it quits on their 13-year union over his alleged affair with their nanny.

She and the Bush lead singer, 59, share three sons: Kingston, 18, Zuma, 16, and Apollo, 11.

The No Doubt frontwoman and the country music star announced their engagement in October 2020. He proposed with an eight-carat diamond ring worth around $500,000.

Foxits exclusively reported that the pair tied the knot in July 2021 in an intimate ceremony at Shelton’s Oklahoma ranch.

Last November, Stefani gushed over her romance with the “God’s Country” crooner, saying she was given a “second chance at life” when they met after her divorce.

“When my family fell apart, it was a catastrophe,” she told the Guardian.

“How do you pick yourself up from that? But God put this other person there to love me.”
