That&#8217;s true.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Blake first met the 54-year-old No Doubt singer a decade ago when she joined &#8216;The Voice&#8217;, and while they didn&#8217;t talk much during that first season, eventually &#8220;the pieces were falling together&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe is looking forward to the future, and he admitted he&#8217;d be delighted with &#8220;a repeat these past 10 years&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;If I could have a repeat of these past 10 years, [that] would be perfect.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Next month, we&#8217;ve got an 18-year-old, which it blows my mind that already happened. And in a couple of years, we&#8217;ll have another 18-year old.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And that&#8217;s&#8230; it&#8217;s gonna be I guess a lot more alone time, which I&#8217;m not mad about that either. But we still have Apollo, so we have another almost 10 years before we can kick him out, so it should be a lot of fun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nWhen it comes to the way he has embraced raising Gwen&#8217;s children and taking them in as his own, Blake has been inspired by the way his father treated his younger brother by marriage.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe previously told the Country Radio Seminar: &#8220;He took Richie on and raised him from the time he was 1 year old, and my brother never thought of my dad as anything other than his dad.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;The example that my dad set for me was that [child] was not even a consideration [in a romantic partnership]. You got three boys? Awesome! My dad did it.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;My dad raised me. I could do this. I didn&#8217;t know what I was signing up for, but I was all about signing up for it. And every day I&#8217;ve fallen in love with the boys as much as I do with Gwen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/blake-shelton-reveals-stepdad-gwen-stefanis-kids-changed-1398094.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>18 April 2024 Blake Shelton admits being a stepfather has changed him &#8220;in every possible way&#8221;.
