Gwen Stefani gushed over her husband Blake Shelton on Thanksgiving.
On Thanksgiving Day, the No Doubt singer shared a snap of herself with her country star husband via Instagram. The black-and-white photo featured the “Voice” coaches flashing a grin at the camera.
Stefani,53, wore a camouflage jacket and cowgirl hat, while Shelton, 46, sported a rugged truckers hat with a button-up shirt in the snap.
“Who am I thankful for this year?” she wrote in the caption. “Def [sic] this 1 @blakeshelton.”
Her post came after she called Shelton, with whom she tied the knot in July last year, her “favorite award ever.”
Stefani was honored at this year’s New York Women in Communications’ 52nd Annual Matrix Awards at the Ziegfeld Ballroom in New York City for her career. It was presented to her on stage by her Grammy-nominated spouse, who was “very excited” and “extra proud” of his wife.
“Obviously, my favorite award ever, Blake Shelton, for marrying me. Wow, this is surreal — weird Blake talking about me like that. Thank you so much, you’re such a babe, and you’re so awesome,” Stefani said in her acceptance speech after giving Shelton a quick peck.
The “God Gave Me You” singer echoed the same sentiments about his wife during an interview with People for his “Helmet of Heroes” collaboration with IndyCar driver Jimmie Johnson in June. Shelton described Stefani as a “magical person.”
“I wish everybody could have a chance to meet and talk to Gwen Stefani at some point in their life because you’ll just be a better person for it, is the only way I know to say it,” Shelton said. “She’s just a magical person to be around. She really is one of a kind and I … That’s another one of those things. How could you even dream that? You know? And it happened.”
He also paid a sweet tribute to her on social media on their first wedding anniversary in July. He shared a throwback wedding photo showing him staring at her while she touches her face with both of her hands and grins.
“Happy anniversary to the woman that makes my world go round… [Gwen Stefani], because of you, this year has been the best year of my life. I love you!!!! Thank you for saying yes!” Shelton wrote.
For her part, Stefani shared footage from their special day with Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling In Love” playing in the background. “1 year down, forever to go @blakeshelton,” she wrote in the caption.
