Their divorce was finalized later that same day. In late 2015, it was announced that Shelton had started dating his colleague from The Voice, singer Gwen Stefani.

Who else on earth could understand going through a high-profile divorce from another musician? You can't even imagine the similarities in our divorces." Stefani and Shelton have collaborated on music numerous times since becoming a couple. In 2015, the musicians co-wrote the song "Go Ahead and Break My Heart" as they navigated the beginning of their relationship. The duet was featured on Shelton's 2016 album, "If I'm Honest." In 2020, their duets "Nobody But You" and "Happy Anywhere" both reached No. 1 on the Billboard US Country Airplay chart. They also collaborated on the song "You Make It Feel Like Christmas," featured on Stefani's 2017 holiday album of the same name. In a January 2020 interview with Gayle King, Shelton said about Stefani: "You think you know what love is, and for me, I didn't until she came into my life."
