Blake Shelton revealed he plans to lose at least 10 pounds before tying the knot with fiancé Gwen Stefani on Luke Bryan’s Party Barn Radio podcast.
While the God’s Country crooner and his countryman, both 44, talked about his upcoming walk down the aisle, Shelton opened up about his fitness goals.
After Bryan asked how likely the eight-time Grammy nominee was to drop 20 pounds before the big day, Stefani’s future husband set a more realistic goal.

‘I feel like if I say 10, I have to do it. So, 10. It’s here now, I can’t disappoint people, ”said The Voice judge, who was previously crowned People’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2017.
Shelton added, “I’ve readjusted all the mirrors in the house. So they look like you when you take a selfie from above because you can’t even stand and look at myself in the mirror. ‘
“I have them rearranged or they face down a bit and look down on me,” he joked as he strived to look his best for his third wedding. “So I look up and it’s not that bad.”
In September, he revealed that he has gained some weight during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

“I thought I looked younger, but I was still just as fat,” he said of the extra pounds. “Now I’m actually trying to lose weight.”
Earlier this week, Stefani, who he’d been in a relationship with for five years before asking the question in the fall, said Shelton’s proposal was “ right on time ” as their relationship had matured.
The 51-year-old pop legend dropped by Today for a virtual interview on Thursday, in which co-host Carson Daly also revealed that he once told his old friend that she and Blake were not right for each other.

According to the singer of Hollaback Girl, it was clear from the start that Blake was the right person for her.
“He’s just such a good guy,” she beamed. ‘He is one of the most generous people and level-headed.
It all sounds so general, but it’s just so true. He’s so gifted and so unique and talented and he’s really just my best friend, ‘she gushed.
The No Doubt alum had nothing but positive thoughts for the future.

‘I just feel so excited to have someone in my life who I now have a chance at happiness, you know what I’m saying? For a long time. It’s just a blessing, the whole thing and it’s a miracle, ”she said.
Still, Gwen sounded surprised that their relationship was even taking off, as it came amid her divorce from Gavin Rossdale and his divorce from Miranda Lambert.
“You just don’t see things that come around after something like destruction.”
She also had “ a lot to consider when so many people are involved, ” including her children’s future if she remarried.

If anything, she had to suppress her instinct to jump into the head of the relationship first.
‘I think in a romantic way that if you fall in love so hard and so unexpectedly and so late in your life, you think,’ I want to marry you, like now! ” ‘, She said. That’s the first romantic response. Let’s get married, you know? ‘
But after some “healing” from the trauma of past relationships and breakups, Blake’s proposal came “right on time.”

The couple first confirmed their relationship in 2015, and their fans saw their romance develop on television when they appeared together in the singing competition The Voice.
Elsewhere in the interview, Today co-host Carson Daly admitted that he once had a conversation with Gwen and Blake urging the two to reconsider dating.
“Five years ago, when you started dating Blake, you’ll remember this: We went back to your house, your old home in LA, and I left you and Blake in the kitchen,” he recalled.
‘And I said,’ Guys, hit the brakes. This is not good. This will not work. ‘And I looked at Gwen, and I said,’ You’re way, way too good for this man. You are smart. You are intelligent. You are one of my oldest friends. And then there’s Blake, ” he added, which amused the singer.
