BEFORE SHOW, STEFANI DIDN’T KNOW SHE LTON ‘EVEN EXISTED ’

Gwen Stefani is totally at ease working with her partner Blake Shelton on The Voice — and confessed she didn’t know he existed before the show. Shelton is a regular on the U. S. TV talent show, while Stefani has appeared on selected series since 2014. The Hollaback Girl hitmaker is returning for the upcoming 17th season, replacing outgoing coach Adam Levine, and the star confessed she was happy to return because she loves working with her partner. And the Cool singer went on to admit that, despite living and working together, their relationship is still exciting and fresh because the pair didn’t know each other beforehand. “I can’t imagine before, I didn’t even know he existed, like before the show,” Stefani, pictured, laughed.
