Blake Shelton, born on June 18, 1976, in Ada, Oklahoma, is a renowned American country music singer and television personality. His father, Richard Shelton, was a used car dealer, while his mother, Dorothy, owned a beauty salon. Blake had two siblings: an older sister, Endy, and a brother, Richie, who tragically died in a car accident at the age of 24 when Blake was just 14 years old. This loss would later inspire some of his heartfelt music.
At the age of 17, Shelton moved to Nashville, Tennessee, to pursue a career in country music, marking the beginning of his journey in the industry.
Shelton released his self-titled debut album in 2001, featuring his breakout single "Austin.” The song topped the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and remained there for five consecutive weeks, establishing him as a rising star in country music. His distinctive voice and traditional country style garnered him a loyal fan base and critical acclaim.
Blake Shelton married his longtime girlfriend, Kaynette Gern, on November 17, 2003. The marriage lasted for three years, and they divorced in 2006. While the couple did not publicly elaborate on the reasons for their split, their separation was handled privately, with minimal media attention at the time.
Shelton met fellow country singer Miranda Lambert shortly after his divorce. Their relationship blossomed both personally and professionally, as she contributed backing vocals on his albums. They married on May 14, 2011, in Texas, and quickly became a favorite couple among country music fans. Despite occasional public jokes from Lambert that fueled media speculation, the couple frequently affirmed their strong bond in interviews.
Lambert's humor about their relationship—particularly divorce rumors—often led to media frenzy. However, Shelton repeatedly clarified that their marriage was strong and that such speculation was unfounded. The two celebrated their third wedding anniversary in 2014, with public displays of affection and mutual support.
