Their love story began amidst shared heartbreak, as both were going through difficult divorces at the time. Gwen had just split from Gavin Rossdale, and Blake was divorcing Miranda Lambert.

She described a moment when Blake, visibly upset over his own marital woes, approached her on set. "I never saw him look so upset," she said. Despite their initial reservations, their shared misery brought them closer together, leading to a romantic connection.

Blake continued for a few more seasons before deciding to step down after season 23. His decision was influenced by his desire to focus on his relationship with Gwen, his music career, and his role as a stepfather to Gwen’s sons.

"I’m not the first person that I think about anymore," he admitted, explaining how his priorities shifted to include Gwen and her children. "Even the small things, when you go, ‘I think I’ll do this,’ the very next thought is always, ‘Well, wait a minute. How’s that going to work?' Or, 'What will they think?'"
Blake also revealed his plans to expand his Ole Red rooftop bar and restaurant franchise with a new location in Las Vegas, although the grand opening date has yet to be confirmed.
