Gwen Stefani And Blake Shelton have welcomed a stray kitten into their family.

The “Hollaback Girl” singer announced in an Instagram post on Thursday, September 26, that she adopted the cat, who she named Corn Shelton.

Stefani, 54, shared that she and Shelton, 48, decided to adopt the kitten after nursing the sick cat back to health.

“The day he came home he was barely alive and so sick,” Stefani wrote alongside a video of the kitten. “But with a lot of love and care, he became a healthy kitten.”

She added: “We are so grateful that he is part of our family.”

Stefani and Shelton met while working The voice in 2015 and quickly fell in love after their divorce Gavin Rossdale And Miranda Lambert, respectively. They had their first public date at an Oscar party in 2016.

After five years together, Shelton finally popped the question in October 2020, speaking in an interview about his proposal — and how it almost went horribly wrong The Bobby Bones Show a few months later.

“To be honest – and this is scary – I had the ring in the compartment on my door of my truck for about a week,” Shelton said during the December 2020 interview. “I don't know about you, but from this Damn thing on my truck keeps falling out. … I kept thinking, 'Man, someone's going to hit the jackpot if I drop this thing out of my truck.' I wanted to keep it there the whole time because I didn't know when exactly the right moment would come. But thank God I didn’t lose the ring.”

The couple finally exchanged vows in July 2021 in an intimate ceremony at Shelton's ranch in Oklahoma.

A source said at the time Us weekly that Stefani's father walked her down the aisle, adding that her sons Kingston, 18, Zuma, 16, and Apollo, 10 (who she shares with ex-girlfriend Rossdale) also attended the ceremony.

“It was recognized that they were part of a family of five,” the insider said. “Blake and Gwen were emotional. Blake had tears in his eyes as he recited his vows to Gwen and as he saw her in the chapel he built for their love.”

As part of a special celebrating the 10th anniversary of The voice In May 2021, Shelton gushed about the “Don't Speak” singer.

“People ask me all the time, 'What's the greatest thing that's happened to you since you've been involved?' The voice?'” he shared. “That’s a given, right? I met my fiancée here. It's hard to resist Gwen Stefani. You know, here's this legendary rock star who becomes a coach The voice in a black minivan. That was cool for me.”

Stefani, for her part, has also publicly expressed her admiration for her husband, revealing that Shelton is her “best friend” during a December 2020 appearance on Zane Lowe's podcast “At Home With Apple Music.”

“We tell each other everything. I don't want to do anything without him. He’s my buddy,” she explained. “And he’s just a very generous, giving guy. He is full of love and generosity. And like you said, he's a smart, smart guy too. So that you feel safe, you can lean on him and trust him.”
