After being with The Voice from the beginning, Blake Shelton is leaving the show at the end of Season 23 next year. It’s been an emotional thing for his wife, Gwen Stefani, to process, since they met and fell in love while working as coaches on the show.
Stefani is currently serving as a coach on Season 22 with Shelton. She is not returning for Season 23, so this is the last season they’ll ever work on together.
