Blake Shelton introduces new wife as Gwen Stefani Shelton at concert event
'The Voice' coaches tied the knot on the Fourth of July weekend
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Blake Shelton delighted fans at a recent live appearance when he introduced his new wife, Gwen Stefani, as "Gwen Stefani Shelton."
On Tuesday, Shelton performed at night one of CMA’s Summer Jam event in Nashville, Tenn., but surprised the crowd by inviting his new bride on stage for a performance of their duet "Happy Anywhere."
People reports that Shelton introduced the singer and fellow "The Voice" coach as "Gwen Stefani Shelton," prompting the crowd to go wild with applause and marking the first time he’s addressed her with his surname publicly.

One of those things that you think about a lot in your life, is you don't know the future and you don't know what's gonna happen, but I feel like my spiritual journey has really guided me towards this place and this place of peace," Stefani added. "Now I need to figure out how to do the rest of my life."
