The country star’s second request was a “pallet"of Legend’s LVE wine. “A mixture of his choice, but not a case — a pallet,” he playfully specified.

“Can I redecoratethe L.A. house?” asked Stefani, 53, to which her husband quickly shot back, “This is my retirement!”

In October, the “God’s Country” singer announced thatthe next season of the singing-competition show will be his last— marking 23 consecutive seasons before his exit.
“I’ve been wrestling with this for a while and I’ve decided that it’s time for me to step away fromThe Voiceafter season 23,” the country star wrote in an Instagram post. “This show has changed my life in every way for the better and it will always feel like home to me.”
Shelton continued, “It’sbeen a hell of a rideover these 12 years of chair turns and I want to thank everyone atThe Voicefrom NBC, every producer, the writers, musicians, crew and catering people, you are the best. It takes a lot of work, passion, and adult beverages (Ha!) to pull off a live show twice a week.”
Shelton then reflected on the relationships he cultivated on the show — and gave a shoutout to the contestants. But perhaps his most special memory is meeting Stefani on the show,whom he married last yearfollowinga 2020 engagement.
“I’ve made lifelong bonds with [host]Carson [Daly]and every single one of my fellow coaches over the years, including my wife,Gwen Stefani!” he continued. “I have to give a huge shoutout to the singers — the ‘Voices’ who come on this stage season after season and amaze us with their talent and a special thanks to those who chose me to be their coach.”
“Lastly, it’s about y’all, the fans, who watch and support these artists, us coaches and everyone atThe Voicewho are chasing their dreams,” Shelton concluded. “It would not happen without you!”
