Recently, it was revealed that Gwen is returning as a judge on The Voice, as newcomer Nick Jonas takes a break from judging duties after just one season as a judge himself.

He was also a part-time adviser on the show back in season 8.

Blake, however, has been the mainstay judge on all 18 seasons of The Voice, while Gwen has been an intermittent judge throughout the run of seasons.

The pair met when Gwen first became a judge on season 7 of the series in 2014, and have been together since November 2015 – just three months after her split from husband Gavin Rossdale.

Blake, meanwhile, has a great relationship with Gwen’s three sons she shares with Gavin, as was evident in another recent post to her Instagram on the occasion of her eldest son Kingston’s 14th birthday, in which Blake is seen covering the boy in kisses.

And last Wednesday, a source told Us Weekly that ‘Gwen knows she is blessed and wants to have the wedding [with Blake] as soon as social distancing guidelines are lifted.’ 

The Don’t Speak songstress has been isolating in Oklahoma over the past few months with Blake, and her sons Kingston James, Zuma Nesta Rock, 11, and Apollo Bowie Flynn, six.
