Blake Shelton<\/a> and Gwen Stefani<\/a> are staying in their sweet escape.<\/p>\n

The couple will not be attending the 2025 Country Music Association Awards<\/a> on Nov. 19, with a source telling E! News \u201cBlake and Gwen will be watching the CMAs on their TV this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, Gwen and Blake\u2014who have been married since 2021\u2014will enjoy performances from the likes of Keith Urban<\/a>, Little Big Town, Kelsea Ballerini, Brandi Carlisle and Luke Combs from the comfort of their couch.<\/p>\n

At the Lainey Wilson-hosted event, Blake is nominated for one award for the Musical Event of the Year category for his feature on Post Malone\u2019s \u201cPour Me a Drink.\u201d<\/p>\n

But while Gwen and Blake have opted to keep a low public profile in recent months, it doesn\u2019t mean they haven\u2019t been busy.<\/p>\n

Not only have the pair signed on to be the headliners for New Orleans\u2019 Endymion Extravaganza<\/a> in February, but Gwen recently released some new Christmas songs, called \u201cHot Cocoa\u201d and \u201cShake the Snow Globe,\u201d<\/a> ahead of the holiday season.<\/p>\n

More from E! Online<\/p>\n

Inspiration for \u201cHot Cocoa,\u201d Gwen revealed in a Nov. 14 Instagram video<\/a>, came from \u201cthe idea that things go together, that are so right together\u2014just like hot chocolate and marshmallows, or just like Rudolph and his nose.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the song, the No Doubt lead sings, \u201cWe’re evergreen we’re just the thing and everybody knows \/ You and me we’re just like hot cocoa, hot cocoa and marshmallows,\u201d later adding, \u201cI love you and you love me and everybody knows.\u201d<\/p>\n

And while Gwen\u2014who shares sons Kingston<\/a>, 19, Zuma<\/a>, 16, and Apollo, 11, with ex Gavin Rossdale<\/a>\u2014is singing about all things Christmas in the track, she\u2019s never shied away from describing how well she and Blake have gone together since they met on The Voice in 2015.<\/p>\n

As she told The Guardian in November 2024<\/a>, \u201cMeeting my husband felt like a second chance at life. Because when my family fell apart, it felt like a catastrophe. How do you pick yourself up from that? But God put this other person there to love me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Blake\u2014who as previously married to Miranda Lambert and Kaynette Williams\u2014has also been candid about he and Gwen entering each other\u2019s lives at the perfect moment.<\/p>\n

“We found each other at a very low point,\u201d he said on The Good Dish in 2022<\/a>. \u201cShe kept me from going to the absolute bottom, you know? It was like literally falling off a cliff and a hand reached out and caught me is what it feels like.”<\/p>\n

He added, “I’ve never had that with somebody where it just felt like, no matter what, she has my back. It’s the greatest feeling ever.”<\/p>\n

Let the Rumors Begin\"Let<\/p>\n

“I think he’s hot, don’t you? But to be super honest, it is kind of crazy we both went through the same thing at the same time. There’s been so many people that I’ve gotten so much comfort from.

Not confiding, but sharing, which has just helped me see things from a different perspective and move forward.” \u2014Gwen to<\/a> Ryan Seacrest in November 2015<\/p>\n

I hardly ever carried a purse.” \u2014Gwen to InStyle<\/a> in July 2018<\/p>\n
