Blake Shelton took time out of his acceptance speech at the People's Choice Awards to playfully tease his “new fiancee,” Gwen Stefani.
"The Voice” coach took the stage at the hybrid event in Santa Monica, Calif., which was attended virtually by many, to accept the award for country artist of 2020. Like many who won awards that night, Shelton began his speech by marveling at the accomplishment of producing an awards show amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“This is absolutely insane and I’m so happy that we were able to have this awards show in spite of everything,” he said.
He concluded his speech by addressing his new engagement, jokingly pretending that the audience would likely be unfamiliar with his bride-to-be.

“Also, thank you to my new fiancee, Gwen Stefani. Her name is Gwen Stefani. S-T-E-F-A-N-I — if you need to Google it to figure out who she is,” he joked. “So, thanks for my inspiration, and I love you guys, thank you.”
The couple announced on Oct. 27 that they finally got engaged after several years of dating. Stefani shared the big news on Instagram with a snap showing her kissing the country music singer while holding her left hand up to the camera, showing off her new ring.
