Explaining one of the reasons she fell in love with the country star, Stefani said, “You’ll never get through a day without laughing. You know what I mean? Which is just — it doesn’t even matter like what’s going on. The guy has so much patience, and so much kindness in his heart. It just makes you happier every single day.”

Last week, Stefani and Shelton introduced fans to a new addition to their family, a stray kitten they named Corn.

“This is Corn Shelton,” Stefani wrote on Instagram on Thursday, September 26, alongside a video of the kitty. “The day he showed up to our home, he was hardly alive [and] so sick, but with a lot of love [and] nurturing, he became a healthy kitten. We’re so grateful that he’s a part of our family.”

Corn made his debut on The Voice last week when Stefani tried to use the cute pet as a bargaining tactic to land a singer on her team.
