Gwen Stefaniis showing some love for husbandBlake Sheltonas he begins to take stock of his big night.
On Monday, Stefani shared a sweet message for Shelton on social media in honor of his final days onThe Voiceafter 23 seasons.
“So proud of this guy,” Stefani, 53, wrote on herInstagram Stories, alongside a photo of Shelton smiling. “Last Monday ever onThe Voice.”
The country star, 46, shared his thoughts later in the day, looking back on the reality competition for the last time with a thoughtful Instagram post of his own.
“Can’t believe it’s been 23 seasons of @nbcthevoice… and especially can’t believe today is my final episode,” Sheltoncaptioned a collection of photosof himself on the show through the years.
“It’s bittersweet. When we signed up for season 1, I don’t think any of us knew what this was going to be… These past 12 years I have made lifelong friends and memories. I’ve had the great opportunity to coach some really talented artists, 9 who have taken home #TeamBlake wins (let’s make that 10 tonight?), and watch these artists grow so much from the show.”
He concluded, “Thank you to everyone… the crew, the coaches, the contestants, the fans, and my wife who have made these some really great years. Love y’all!!!!!!”
In a follow-up post on Tuesday, Stefani shared a video of the musician bouncing a ball as he said, “I’m going toThe Voicefor the last time.”
“Don’t be asking me to be your mentor,” he added (Stefani will return as a coach next season alongsideReba McEntire,Niall HoranandJohn Legend).

Earlier this month, Shelton opened up about his thoughts on his wife’s return.
“Well, I’m happy,” Shelton said. “When I finally came to the conclusion that I was going to call it a day last year, you know, she even said, ‘Well, I guess they probably won’t have me back ever again.'”
He added, “And I go, ‘What are you talking? They invited you to be a coach for seasons before you and I were ever thing.’ And she goes, ‘Oh, yeah, that’s right. They did do that.’ I go. ‘Yeah, I’m pretty sure they’re still going to wantGwen Stefanito be a coach.’ Then sure enough, you know, she’s already gonna be back and she was excited to get the call.”
In light of his final episode on the show, several familiar faces will return for the finale including,Camila Cabello,Jennifer Hudson,Nick Jonas,John LegendandAdam Levine, all of whom previously coached alongside Shelton on the show.
