Blake Shelton revealed he is aiming to shed at least 10 pounds before he ties the knot with his fiancée Gwen Stefani on Luke Bryan’s Party Barn Radio podcast.
As the God’s Country crooner and his fellow country music star, both 44, chatted about his upcoming walk down the aisle, Shelton opened up about his fitness goals.
After Bryan asked how likely it was that the eight-time Grammy nominee would drop 20 pounds before the big day, Stefani’s future husband set a more realistic goal.

‘I feel like if I say 10, I have to do it. So, 10. It’s out there now, I can’t let people down,’ said The Voice judge, who was formerly crowned People’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2017.
Shelton added, ‘I’ve readjusted all the mirrors in the house. So they look like you when you’re taking a selfie from up above because you can’t even stand and look at myself in the mirror.’
‘I’ve rearranged them or they’re kind of angled down, looking down at me,’ he joked as he aspires to look his best for his third wedding. ‘So I’m looking up and it’s not so bad.’
In September, he revealed he has put on a little weight during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.

‘I thought it made me look younger, but I was still just as fat,’ he said of the extra few pounds. ‘Now I’m actually trying to lose weight.’
Earlier this week, Stefani, who he dated for five years before popping the question in the fall, said Shelton’s proposal ‘was right on time’ as their relationship had matured.
The 51-year-old pop legend stopped by Today for a virtual interview on Thursday in which co-host Carson Daly also revealed that he once told his old friend that she and Blake weren’t right for each other.

According to the Hollaback Girl singer, it was obvious from the start that Blake was the right person for her.
‘He’s just such a good guy,’ she said while beaming. ‘He’s one of the most generous human beings and down to earth.
‘It all sounds so generic, but it’s just so true. He’s so gifted and so unique and talented and he really is just my best friend,’ she gushed.
The No Doubt alum had nothing but positive thoughts for the future.

‘I feel just so excited that I have someone in my life that now I have a chance at like, happiness, you know what I mean? For a long time to come. It’s just a blessing, the whole thing and it is a miracle,’ she said.
Still, Gwen sounded surprised that their relationship even got off the ground, as it came amid her divorce from Gavin Rossdale and his split from Miranda Lambert.
‘You just don’t see things that are right around the corner after such like, devastation.’
She also had ‘a lot to consider when you have so many people involved,’ including the futures of her children if she remarried.

If anything, she had to tamp down on her instinct to jump into the relationship head first.
‘I think in a romantic way when you fall in love so hard and so unexpectedly and so late in your life, you think, ‘I wanna marry you, like now!” she said. ‘That’s the first romantic reaction. Let’s go get married, you know?’
But after some ‘healing’ from the trauma of previous relationships and breakups, Blake’s proposal ‘was right on time.’

He couple first confirmed their relationship in 2015, and their fans got to see their romance develop on television as they appeared together on the singing competition The Voice.
Elsewhere in the interview, Today co-host Carson Daly admitted that he once had a chat with Gwen and Blake in which he urged the two to reconsider dating.
‘Five years ago, when you started to date Blake, you’ll remember this, we went back to your house, your old house in LA, and I sat you and Blake down in the kitchen,’ he recalled.
‘And I said, ‘You guys, pump the brakes. This is not good. This is not going to work.’ And I looked at Gwen, and I said, ‘You’re much, much too good for this guy. You’re smart. You’re intelligent. You’re one of my oldest friends. And then there’s Blake,” he added, which amused the songstress.
