Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton were the ultimate power couple on Thursday, October 19 in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Walk of Fame when the No Doubt frontwoman finally received her coveted star.
The 54-year-old singer-songwriter was honored with a star of her own, just five months after her husband, 47, received his own star.

At the ceremony, Jimmy and Irving saluted Gwen with speeches that paid tribute to her immense talent, but Blake truly let the waterworks flow with his own dedication. Watch the speech below…
"The first time that I ever met Gwen was in 2014," he started. "She wasn't like any famous person I ever met before."
Blake used his entire speech to gush about his wife's skills as a mother, saying that she was the best mom she could be to her three loving sons, who proudly watched from the sidelines.
"It was clear to me that she was a mother first and foremost over anything else in this world," he said of their first ever interaction on The Voice. "That was her number one job. And now standing here, almost ten years later, after I first met her, I can say without question that being a mother is still the most important thing in her life."

He continued: "What makes me happiest for Gwen, though, is that this all started with a song she wrote. Songwriting is her favorite thing to do. And she happens to be exceptionally talented at it."

Gwen gave her husband the biggest hug and audibly said "I love you" into his ear, and when she took to the podium for her own speech, took the time to thank her family and acknowledge her journey.
