“Gwen always gushed about how amazing Blake is with the boys,“ says the Stefani source, as reported by the publication. ”She feels so lucky that he helps her raise them. His love and guidance is something that Gwen is beyond grateful for.”

In an interview with radio host Bobby Bones, Shelton revealed that it was imperative for him to have Stefani’s sons near them during the proposal. “The only thing I had planned was that I knew I wanted to do it in Oklahoma while all her kids were there [and our siblings],” Shelton said. “I didn’t want to take her away or do something private away from the kids. I felt like it was important for the kids to be a part of that moment, so that’s what I did.”

According to the person in the know, although Shelton, 44, and Stefani, 51, began a friendship at work and found support from each other while going through divorces, their relationship is not like the old saying of “New love drives out old love.”

“At first, they were bonding over their splits and finding light in one another, but they quickly realized they have so much more in common than just going through heartbreak,” says the insider. “They’re both incredibly close to their families, and their lives are rooted deeply in their faith. He just fit so seamlessly into her life, and vice versa.”
