Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton finally married after five years together last year, but before they found love with each other, they were both married to someone else.
The No Doubt singer had been married to the father of her three children, Gavin Rossdale, for thirteen years and Blake had split from his second wife, Miranda Lambert.
He was previously also married to Kaynette Williams, but they split in 2006.

She also said that the split caused her to analyze every aspect of her life. "It was a time of reassessing everything that I've done," Gwen told Instyle.
The star confessed she turned to music to ease the pain. During an appearance on Good Morning America, she explained: "I felt like, 'Wow, I can't go down. This is not who I am. I'm not going to fail.' I had to make something good out of it. So I tried to write because I know that that was my gift. And I was like, 'I'm going to do this. I'm going to make this into music.'"
