Gwen Stefani made her 'sweet escape' from the city when she married Blake Shelton, and they built a life together on his sprawling Oklahoma ranch.
The Hollaback Girl singer sparked swathes of fan praise when she shared two recent videos from her idyllic countryside home.
On Monday, Gwen posted an Instagram video of her two beloved dogs Betty and Gingy, and her fans pointed out how happy the pooches looked with their country surroundings.
"Omg, this is too cute even the dogs are happier and living their best life in Oklahoma," penned one fan, and: "Loving that country life! It’s good for ALL doggies (& people!)," added another. A third posted: "And they’re all great. Isn’t country life the best?!" to which Gwen replied: "The best!!! gx."
The day before, the mother-of-three shared another ranch video, this time showing how she collects branches from outside and displays them in vases inside her jaw-dropping property. Gwen and Blake's huge porch was seen in the clip, as well as their hotel-worthy living space with a zebra rug and floral armchairs.
"Being from California, she didn't know she was meant to be a Country Girl Love ya Gwen!," one follower wrote under the video. Another agreed: "I see so much joy and happiness in you whenever you’re in Oklahoma. It's beautiful to watch."
Speaking to Rolling Stone magazine, Gwen revealed that gardening is a shared pastime with Blake.

Growing up a city girl, Gwen admitted to People that she would see her mother and father cutting trees and it drove her to think she didn't want the hassle: "I'd be like, 'I'm never having a tree at my house,'" she admitted. And now she's in awe of nature!
