“I Spent 10 Years Trying To Heal!” Blake Shelton Shocks Fans On ‘Nashville Star’ Reality Special – Opens Up About His Marriage To Miranda Lambert

In a special episode aired on June 14, 2025, Blake Shelton appeared on a reality-based version of “Nashville Star” – the show that once launched his early career. But instead of musical performances stealing the spotlight, it was an emotional, unexpected interview moment that left fans stunned.

Under the stage lights and in front of rolling cameras, Blake paused mid-conversation, his voice heavy with emotion:

“It took me 10 years to heal after Miranda. Ten years… before I could look at myself and say these words out loud.”

At that moment, Gwen Stefani, Blake’s current wife, was seen backstage with the production crew. According to an anonymous source present on set:

“Gwen covered her face, clearly overwhelmed. She rushed off toward the side exit, seemingly trying to hide her tears.”

Witnesses said the entire studio fell silent for a few seconds, the atmosphere tense and emotional. Some audience members watching live reported hearing Gwen softly sobbing behind the curtain.

Blake has rarely spoken publicly about his 2015 divorce from Miranda Lambert. Though he has addressed it vaguely in past interviews, this was the first time he mentioned a “10-year” healing process—an admission that resonated deeply with fans who have followed his journey.

His vulnerable moment divided the public: while many praised him for being “honest and brave,” showing a more emotional and human side, others accused the show of scripting the drama to draw attention to the new season of “Nashville Star.”

Representatives for Blake and Gwen later stated that “everything was fine” after the taping, with no signs of tension. One production staffer even revealed that Blake gave Gwen a warm hug and presented her with a bouquet backstage as a thank-you for standing by him through everything.
