Getty Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton battled it out on "The Voice."
Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani got married in July 2021, and the couple is now on their first season of “The Voice” together as a married couple. That doesn’t stop them from fighting when things get tense, however.
During the Monday, October 17, 2022 episode, Stefani’s team members Cara Brindisi and Jay Allen performed the song “Leather and Lace” by Don Henley and Stevie Nicks. They did so well that, while Stefani had to choose one winner, she also wanted to save the other contestant.
Things got tense when Shelton used his “steal” to try to win the contestant to his side.
Cara Brindisi Won the Battle but Jay Allen is Sticking Around as Well
After the battle round, Stefani chose Brindisi as the winner.
Then, when host Carson Daly reminded the coaches that Allen would be available for steal or save, Stefani and Shelton hit their buttons, giving Allen a choice between the two coaches for the next round of the competition.
The battle led to a tense situation between Stefani and Shelton.
“Honestly, that was such a hard one for me, and it was so confusing,” Stefani said to Allen before Shelton hit his button for a steal. Then, Shelton hit his button and left Stefani flustered. “What a jerk!”
Carson Daly remarked, “Jay Allen may cause a celebrity divorce” and asked Stefani if she was mad at her husband.
“Yes! I’m shaking, I’m so mad,” she said, laughing.
Both coaches then had to make their pitches to Allen.
“Before you get me divorced, I just wanted to confirm the fact that you’re a great singer, and, dammit, I had a steal, and I hit my button, and that’s all there is to it,” Shelton told the singer.
After Allen chose Shelton, Shelton joked with the camera that he thought he and Stefani may need “marriage counseling” after that battle. Stefani spanked Shelton jokingly after the battle as well.
“I can’t believe my husband stabbed me in the back,” she told the cameras. “Blake is definitely going to pay for that later.”
