The honeymoon phase is still alive and well for Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton.
Stefani took to Instagram on Wednesday, July 3 to celebrate the couple’s three-year wedding anniversary with a carousel of intimate photos from the ceremony. The heartwarming post began with a shot of Stefani and Shelton kissing by their five-tiered wedding cake, along with the caption, “July 3, 2021 ♥️ it has always been you 🥰.”
Another image put fans in the POV of the audience during their ceremony, showing the couple standing at the altar, facing officiator Carson Daly. A third image saw Stefani and Shelton wrapped in each other’s arms alongside a stunning landscape view. The No Doubt singer suggested a little commotion for the dress as a black and white image in the carousel highlighted the gorgeous mini dress she wore with white stiletto cowgirl boots.

You could see the pure joy in Stefani’s face as she and Shelton drove off in a golf cart decorated with tulle in the fifth slide. The happy bride also had to share a sweet image alongside her three sons with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale, Kingston, 18, Zuma, 15, and Apollo, 10. Shelton also posted a short yet sweet Instagram message for his wife, writing, “Happy anniversary @gwenstefani! I love you!!!!!!!” alongside a cuddled-up photo of the pair.
Shelton and Stefani met when they were both coaches on popular NBC series The Voice in 2014. They confirmed the new romance the following year, and announced their engagement in 2020. The pair tied the knot at Shelton’s ranch in Tishomingo, Oklahoma, and Daly, host of The Voice, even acted as the officiant.
Since getting together, Shelton and Stefani have released a number of duets, including, “Nobody But You,” “You Make It Feel Like Christmas,” “Happy Anywhere,” and “Go Ahead and Break My Heart.” Their most recent is called “Purple Irises,” and they debuted it during Stefani’s headlining Super Bowl LVIII TikTok Tailgate in February 2024.
